Pastor Granillo: Understanding Women And Kings

Understanding Women and Kings.
When I first got married, I knew the primary rule of marriage was that I was to be devoted to this one woman, alone, for the rest of my life. Of course, I was naïve about a lot of things.
I thought all this rule meant, was that other women were off limits. I dare say every husband learns quickly that there is more to it than that. For example, it would not end will if you told your wife that you preferred your mom’s cooking or her cleaning methods.
I learned a lot of serious stuff as well. My wife had her own journey through life before she met me. Read More

An Open Book: Dulce De Leche

Los Alamos
One of my fellow labmates in graduate school ate a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich for lunch every day.
I thought this was extremely weird, even if my claim to a more diverse diet was based on felafel wraps, subs and frito pies.
The weirdness was not only his devotion to this particular sandwich, but rather I thought peanut butter and jelly was a disgusting combination, something akin to spreading green pea puree on jelly-covered crackers. As you might guess, there was no peanut butter in my native Uruguay.
It was not until I entered fatherhood and was informed Read More

By Pastor RAUL GRANILLORebellious Conformation.
A primary purpose for all of the laws that God had given the Israelites, through Moses, was to make them distinct from the other people of the world. They were to stand out as the people of God. This distinction was more than just a part of their religion. It was more than culture. It had become a part of their very identity as Jews. It says a lot that they asked Samuel, the prophet, for a king.
Even after Samuel warned the Israelites that having a king would only serve to give them the same problems that the other nations of the world faced, they Read More
