“El mexicano frecuenta a la muerte, la burla, la acaricia, duerme con ella, la festeja, es uno de sus juguetes favoritos y su amor permanente.” ― Octavio Paz, El Laberinto de la Soledad Lindsay Graham: https://abcnews4.com/news/local/after-laying-out-a-similar-plan-11-years-ago-lindsey-graham-hails-trumps-iran-operation https://youtu.be/wjGgrU8g30c?si=Bly_wZswHLJr8gpw Danielle (00:04): I saw this thing from Lindsay Graham, this clip, and he was saying what we're doing in Iran now is going to ... And Lindsay Grand is a senator here in the United States. And he said he's going to ... What we're doing in Iran, quote, doing, because they're not calling it a war, they're calling it a special operation. He said is going to set the tone in the Middle East for the next 1000 years. And so you can go into your eschatology and your theology after this, Jenny, but he also then proceeded to say that this is a matter of which religion is going to be predominant in the planet. And they talked about Islam and they spoke about Christianity in those terms. And yeah, I wonder what comes up for you as I even just say those brief few sentences about theologically how we grew up or the frame you come from. Jenny (01:03): So much. I mean, so much. I think about how skewed and biased the interpretation of Revelation was in the world that I grew up in. And it was always like fear mongering, like barcodes were the mark of the beast. And then I know people in that same world that said that COVID vaccines were the mark of the beast and just like all of these things. And the mark of the beast was literally the numerical definition of Caesar Nero. It's nothing like we say it is. It was apocalyptic literature that was speaking to the time for a very specific purpose. And yet it has been co-opted. And I really appreciate this book from Bart Erman called Armageddon, and he breaks down the entire historical context for the Book of Revelation and then what has happened to it. And I was thinking about, I was nine, 10 years old when I watched the movie Left Behind with Kirk Cameron and I was terrified that the rapture was going to happen. (02:16): And it was only a year or so, maybe it was even in that same year that I watched the two planes hit the world Trade Center buildings on my family's television. And it was the same television I had just watched Left Behind on that year. And so in my little nine, 10, 11 year old brain, I was like, oh my God, those pilots got raptured and me and my mom are here in our living room and that's what happened.That's how quickly and how much that was associated with my consciousness and what I had been conditioned to. There's many more things that come to mind, but those are some of my first thoughts. Danielle (03:00): Well, even into my young adulthood, and maybe even now, it's been so ... We had to watch when I was little, we went to church and we watched these scenes of the United ... The rapture had happened. And then if you were left behind, then what would happen to you? And the only image I remember from these movies, and I should look them up, is people confessing Jesus because they wouldn't take the mark of the beast. And then they ... I wasn't even in kindergarten, so they put their heads through this guillotine and then they snapped down and people were beheaded. So I remember watching that at church and then at some point coming home and dreaming that the devil was in my room and then running outside and no one was in the garage. So I thought I'd been left behind. And oddly enough, even though I have moved away from that belief entirely about the rapture, if I wake up and everybody's gone or I'm not expecting it, even to this day, something flashes in my mind, "Oh, I wonder if that happened. (04:11): I wonder if I got left. I wonder if I didn't make it. " So those things have a lasting impact. Jenny (04:18): They do. They really do. I mean, I often think about ... So nine eleven happened and then that following summer, me and my mostly white dance studio from Colorado Springs was dancing at the Colorado State Fair to the song Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue. That's literally about bombing and destroying lives and people. And we were doing punches and kicks in these old Navy American flag t-shirts. And it was, again, this fusion of fear of the rapture with this belief in if Israel takes over all of the land around Palestine, then Jesus is going to come back. And I was so conditioned to be excited about the death and decimation of hundreds of thousands and millions of lives of people. And it is so devastating and infuriating to me to think about the rhetoric of those jihad terrorists over there conditioning children for war. (05:31): When I was literally being conditioned for war and the holy war and believing that I was on the side of God and these other people were on the side of Satan, it leads to so much dehumanization and harm. I hate it so much. Danielle (05:50): Yeah. It's almost like apocalyptic or ... I come back to the Handmaid's Tale and it ... Have you watched much of it or any of it? Okay. Well, a lot of people, I won't tell you, but it starts off with like, you don't really know what's happening, but they're escaping in their car, this family of three. And over the series, it flashes back so you get more of the story. But as it flashes back, I began to feel like, "Well, why didn't they get out sooner? What stopped them from leaving sooner? What was it? " And you see this progression both of this story about our Congress losing its powers or seeding its authority to a leader. And when I watched the movie, it was before this elect ... Well, watched the show. It was before this election and kind of during last year a bit. (06:54): But in my mind, I'm like, "Well, how did that happen?" And then as you watch the Senate vote, literally, and they don't vote to reign in war powers for Trump, you wonder what is happening? It's like not every president, but for this large scale of attack, there's no precedent for a president bypassing Congress and shooting the shit out of something, some other person in this scale and not having Congress involved. I mean, for all of Bush's faults and failures and horrors and lies, I mean, he did try to pitch it to Congress. (07:33): And so I'm not a Bush fan anyway, but sometimes I'm like, "Well, that was even better." But then you mix that with Doug Wilson of CREC and Pete Hegseth talking about Armageddon and we're doing this for Jesus. And then it just becomes almost impossible to untangle with people who believe that way. Yeah, Jenny (07:59): It does. It does. And the more I learn about Christian nationalism, the more this has been in the works for the last 50, 60, 70 years. And so we're seeing it in a huge, drastic way, but Bush and others that were elected from the moral majority were all part of that really long game plan to get America back to this very white, patriarchal, heteronormative view of Christianity, which in my mind isn't actually Christianity. It's not a historical version that the brown Jewish man from Palestine promoted. It was the bastardization of that when Constantine created this marriage between military and state and Christianity. And I think since 300s, AD, there's been this snowball that's just continued to grow and grow and grow and we're seeing it play out right now. (09:25): Yeah. I noticed that it puts me in quite a dissociated state, which is very familiar to me. And I think that's largely what my childhood was, was being dissociated and actually thinking that that was a good thing because this life meant nothing.This was all a means to an end until heaven. And so then even as I say that, I feel grief because I've come to feel that this life is really, really significant. I just watched this beautiful documentary called Come See Me in the Good Light about the poet, Andrea Gibson's Journey with Cancer. And it was such a profound image of how meaningful relationships and love and life are. And I didn't know that in this Christian nationalist world. Relationships were always a means to an end to something. My own body was a means to an end to something. And so it takes a lot of work for me to drop back into my body because of this conversation and because of what's playing out in our world. (11:21): And that's really real. Danielle (11:23): Yeah. I just went through that first module of SE training. So I'm all over the language, Jenny. I know what you're talking about. Well, talk to me a little bit about an escapable threat then. When you say that, I think most people think, oh, and then their minds are twirling. I know my mind was when I first started learning about it, and it resonated a lot for me, but walk me through how you think of that for you. Well, first I guess I would have to believe that there was or is an actual political dialogue taking place that I could potentially be a part of. And honestly, I'm not sure that I believe that.

The Bible teaches that God decreed the history of the world before it began (Is. 46:9-10), Eph. 1:11). This plan is for the good of those who love Him (Rom. 8:28), and it is demonstrating God's wisdom and power through the weak things of this world (1 Cor. 1-2).This is one of those stories that highlights the goodness of the sovereignty of God. Calvinists should be the happiest, bravest people in the world.The Text: “And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him. Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh…”King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

The song of Deborah is a song of jubilant praise for God's deliverance of His people. God used men and women who were willing, but God is the One who fought for His people.

 In this episode of Straight White American Jesus: The Sunday Interview, Brad Onishi speaks with CNN Chief Investigative Correspondent Pamela Brown about her new documentary examining Christian nationalism, the rise of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), and the growing influence of Idaho pastor Doug Wilson. Brown discusses her viral interview with Wilson, her reporting from Moscow, Idaho, and how Christian Reconstructionist theology is gaining mainstream political visibility. The conversation explores Christian nationalism's connection to classical Christian schools, patriarchal theology, and its alignment with contemporary conservative politics. The documentary also centers the voices of survivors who left CREC-aligned and other Christian nationalist communities. Women share firsthand accounts of spiritual abuse, rigid gender hierarchy, and authoritarian church structures that made leaving extraordinarily difficult. Brown and Onishi examine how movements promising certainty, biblical order, and “traditional values” have expanded in the wake of COVID-19 and cultural polarization. This interview offers critical insight into Christian nationalism, church and state debates, religious extremism, and the future of American democracy.

God created men and women to reflect His glory in particular ways, but sin distorts that glory. And we tend to sin against one another in ways that reinforce cycles of shame and dishonor.But Christ came to break our cycles of sin, and Deborah is a judge who points us to the Church who calls men and women back to the glory of God.The Text: “And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, when Ehud was dead. And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles…” (Judges 4:1-9)King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

The Bible is not a book of sweet and pious aphorisms. It is the truest book because it tells the truth about our vile sin, and it tells the truth about the only way out of the shameful pits we have dug for ourselves. Ehud is a glorious picture of the Lord Jesus: a little savior who points to our Great Savior.The Text: “And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD…” (Judges 3:12-31)King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

Despite human rebellion, God is determined to raise up a warrior people – nations trained for battle against the world, the flesh, and the devil. In Christ, God has raised up the Great Judge of all the earth, who fights for us, and gives us His Spirit so that we may learn to fight evil like Him.The Text: “Now these are the nations which the Lord left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known the wars of Canaan; only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof…” (Judges 3:1-11).King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

La regidora de Festes de Lloret, Vereda López, posa de relleu la importància de treballar coordinats. “Crec que és bàsic coordinar-nos entre els tres municipis, fem un Carnaval de molt d'èxit i seria un error no anar de la mà”Vereda López Jordi Hernández, alcalde de Blanes, posa de relleu el prestigi de la marca ‘Costa Brava Sud'. “Si sumem esforços els tres municipis som una marca molt potent”Jordi Hernández Martí Pujals, alcalde de Tossa, destaca la qualitat. “Ja fa molts anys que fem aquest Carnaval conjunt i jo destacaria la qualitat de tot: del vestuari, de les coreografies i de les carrosses”Martí Pujals La primera rua del Carnaval de la Costa Brava Sud serà la de Lloret de Mar. Arriba el proper 14 de febrer, amb la participació d'una 20a de carrosses i comparses que desfilaran pel passeig marítim, l'avinguda Just Marlès i la del Rieral. Dissabte la rua començarà a dos quarts de cinc de la tarda i es repeteix l'endemà diumenge, a les dotze del migdia, amb el format popular gran rua del Sarau.

The people of Israel during the era of the judges largely failed, and they failed because they refused to seek God with their whole heart. They did not destroy their idols and the pagan nations around them, so they would have mild success during the lives of strong leaders and then immediately fall back into their idolatry over and over again. But Christ has come to call His people to true repentance.The Text: “And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you. And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?...” (Judges 2:1-23)King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

Judges opens with the death of Joshua, and Israel calling on the Lord. The book of Judges is all about the radical difference between the Lord being with you and the Lord not being with you: the difference between God being your king and having no king and doing whatever is right in your own eyes. During the lifetime of Joshua, the Lord was with Israel and gave them victories over their enemies, but Judges will contrast that blessing with a declining cycle of God saving Israel, Israel forgetting God, not seeking God, and being oppressed by their enemies. But the story opens with a warm reminder of the blessing that is possible for those who seek Him. The Text: “Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them? And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand…” (Judges 1:1-20)King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

In God's world, words and names matter. Your words are either echoing God's Word and naming in faith and taking dominion, or else they are defying God's Word, naming in unbelief, fear, and setting up trouble for yourself and your children. The tribes of Israel learned this the hard way. The lesson was clear: sin must be completely destroyed or it will eventually destroy you.The Text: “And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel: and the LORD was with them. And the house of Joseph sent to descry Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)…” (Judges 1:22-36)King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

It has been said that history doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes. Ecclesiastes says, “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there anything whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us” (Eccl. 1:9-10).The repeated refrain of Solomon is that all is vanity or “vapor” and “vexation of spirit” or “striving after wind.” A better translation would be “shepherding the wind.” Ecclesiastes teaches that there is a kind of cyclical nature to time and yet there is a beginning and an end: “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven…He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end” (Eccl. 3:1, 11). The Christian view of history is more spiral.We live in days of crisis and turmoil. It remains to be seen what kind of stability will emerge, whether it will be favorable to Christianity or not. Regardless, we are called to be “men of Issachar,” who have “understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do” (1 Chron. 12:32).The Text: “For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow…” (Ps. 90:9-17)King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

When the wise men from the east asked where the King of the Jews was to be born, Herod gathered all the priests and scribes and ask them where the Messiah was supposed to be born. They cited Mi-cah's prophecy that the Messiah was to be born in Bethlehem.It's remarkable that the Jews knew this prophesy, knew that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, and still many refused (and still refuse) to believe in Him.The Text: “But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yetout of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth” (Mic. 5:2-4).King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

Matthew's quotation of Hosea's prophecy has often confused Christians. How is this faithful exegesis? But what we find in what might seem like almost a casual reference in passing is something that underlines even more of the glory of Christmas.The Text: “When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt” (Hos. 11:1).King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

As 2025 winds down, Michael Rogers, director of the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) Citrus Research and Education Center (CREC), took time to recognize Chris Oswalt during the December All In For Citrus podcast. Oswalt is retiring from his post as a citrus Extension agent, which he's held for nearly 30 years. He served Polk and Hillsborough counties. “I quickly got connected with Chris when I first came to CREC in 2004,” Rogers said. “He was a big help to me, especially earlier in my career. He has helped get many new faculty pointed in the right direction when they come on board. He is down to earth and grounded in reality, and growers trust him because of that. We wish him well in retirement.” Rogers also took the occasion to remind growers to engage with the citrus agents in Florida because they can be a valuable resource. Find your citrus agent here. “If you've not had an agent out to your operation, invite them to come out,” Rogers said. “Get them involved and visiting you in the field. It will help the agents develop their programs and serve you better.” One of the citrus agents, Edwin Gutierrez, also joins the podcast to discuss ways to prepare groves for winter and potential freeze events. He covers DeSoto, Hardee and Manatee counties. Some of his key points include making sure trees are as healthy as possible going into winter because a healthy tree will withstand a freeze better. He also advises growers to check their irrigation systems regularly to ensure they are operating properly. Irrigation is the main line of defense to protect trees during a freeze. Muhammad Shahid, UF/IFAS assistant professor at the North Florida Research and Education Center, addresses winter preparations for the cold-hardy region. Freezes are far more regular occurrences in that area. Shahid discusses his research with silicon, which appears to boost citrus trees' resistance to freezes. He also tells how a new mandarin variety, nicknamed Greenie, may have found a home in the cold-hardy region.   The podcast is partnership between UF/IFAS and AgNet Media.  

This great Christmas verse should be understood as connected to the prophecy of the virgin birth and helps to confirm the New Testament's insistence that Jesus is the child who was born of virgin to save us and our pitiful world.But this is no mere spiritual reality; it is the ground of our confidence that Christ's government and peace will increase until all of His enemies have been put beneath His feet. The One who was born in Bethlehem is the King of this world.The Text: “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this” (Is. 9:6-7).King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

Tema del dia Després d'unes setmanes sense parlar, el Joan i l'Andreu es posen al dia: viatges, mudances, obres... Parlem també de la Fira del Llibre de Guadalajara i d'una nova obsessió de l'Andreu: els noms de pobles i ciutats catalans. Som-hi! Inscripcions obertes als pròxims cursos de català! Les classes comencen el 7 de gener. (https://classes.easycatalan.org/) Bonus L'Andreu explica algunes anècdotes del seu viatge a l'Argentina. Transcripció Andreu: [0:15] Bon dia, Joan! Joan: [0:16] Bon dia, Andreu! Andreu: [0:18] Ui, ja començo malament. Bé, estic malalt. Joan: [0:29] T'anava a dir: "Com estàs?", perquè fa dues setmanes que no parlem, però ja ho veig. Andreu: [0:35] Sí. Vaig tornar del viatge malalt, de fet vaig estar dos terceres parts del viatge amb un refredat molt fort, que va començar com si fos una grip, perquè vaig estar dos o tres dies així amb febre, llavors la cosa va… es va suavitzar i vaig estar molts dies amb mucositat i tos, i els tres últims dies altre cop amb febre i molta tos, i al final va ser una bronquitis. Llavors, aquesta setmana he estat que no servia per a res i encara m'estic recuperant. Joan: [1:05] Però el viatge va anar bé o no vas poder-ne gaudir? Andreu: [1:08] Sí! No, sí, sí, ho vam fer tot, gràcies a la medicina, a la ciència, als (ibuprofens) i paracetamols. Sí, vam fer totes les excursions, vam veure les glaceres… bé, la més famosa és el Perito Moreno. Joan: [1:22] Perquè vas explicar que anaves a l'Argentina, en episodis anteriors? Andreu: [1:25] Crec que sí, que vaig dir que anava a l'Argentina. Potser el que no vaig dir va ser que anava concretament a la part del sud, de la Patagònia, que són tot paratges naturals brutals. Joan: [1:36] Preciosos. Molt bé. Andreu: [1:38] I, vull dir, molts llacs, moltes muntanyes… A la part del Calafate, que és com més o menys al mig de la Patagònia, és tot… bé, a l'Argentina hi ha molt territori que és estepa, no?, que és com desert, pràcticament, no hi ha res. I llavors tu estàs allà, veus l'estepa, que és tot més o menys pla, no hi ha pràcticament vegetació i tal, i de cop tens els Andes, bum!, muntanyes, saps? O sigui, no és com aquí que tenim el Prepirineu, que comença a haver-hi una mica de muntanyes, que es van fent més altes, més altes… Joan: [2:11] O sigui, és com si de cop pugés una muntanya allà a l'horitzó enorme, no? Andreu: [2:15] Sí, sí, sí. O sigui, tu estàs al desert i, de cop, muntanyes nevades. És molt curiós. I els llacs també són impressionants… Hi ha un llac que es diu Lago Argentino, que té un color blau cel, però un blau superclar, que es veu que és pels sediments de les glaceres, que generen a l'erosionar la roca, no?, perquè, clar, tot aquell gel, que és neu compactada, però és gel, diguéssim, doncs fa això, una erosió de la roca, que després deixa unes partícules en suspensió a l'aigua que no acaben mai de precipitar. I llavors té aquest color com... és com un… sí, un blau molt molt claret, no ho sé, molt curiós. Joan: [2:56] Que curiós. Andreu: [2:57] I després, més al sud, a Ushuaia, que en diuen "el fin del mundo", la Tierra de Fuego, doncs allà vam veure pingüins, lleons marins, també, vam veure còndors… Joan: [3:09] Molt bé, molt bé. Andreu: [3:10] Buà, va ser… va ser molt molt guai.

Transcript:Ca: En una tarda grisa de tardor, l'aire era fresc als afores de Barcelona.En: On a gray autumn afternoon, the air was fresh on the outskirts of Barcelona.Ca: Una vella fàbrica abandonada dominava el paisatge.En: An old abandoned factory dominated the landscape.Ca: El ferro oxidat i les finestres trencades feien que semblés un gegant adormit.En: The rusted iron and broken windows made it look like a sleeping giant.Ca: Cada nit, una misteriosa remor sortia de dins.En: Every night, a mysterious noise emanated from within.Ca: Els veïns escoltaven el so, però ningú tenia el valor d'investigar.En: The neighbors heard the sound, but no one had the courage to investigate.Ca: Nil, un noi curiós i analític, s'havia adonat que coincidia amb unes desaparicions recents a la zona.En: Nil, a curious and analytical young man, had noticed that it coincided with some recent disappearances in the area.Ca: Decidit a desxifrar el misteri, va buscar l'ajuda de Martí, el seu amic de tota la vida, i Júlia, una nova veïna dotada d'una valentia sorprenent.En: Determined to unravel the mystery, he sought the help of Martí, his lifelong friend, and Júlia, a new neighbor gifted with surprising bravery.Ca: "Martí, tu coneixes de mecànica.En: "Martí, you know about mechanics.Ca: Pots ajudar-nos si hi ha alguna cosa estranya allà dins", va dir Nil.En: You can help us if there's something strange in there," said Nil.Ca: "No estic segur d'això, Nil.En: "I'm not sure about this, Nil.Ca: Però si tu creus que és important, t'acompanyaré", va respondre Martí, amb un toc d'escepticisme.En: But if you think it's important, I'll go with you," responded Martí, with a touch of skepticism.Ca: Júlia, emocionada per l'aventura, va dir: "Crec que podria ser una llegenda urbana, però estic disposada a descobrir-ho.En: Júlia, excited about the adventure, said, "I think it could be an urban legend, but I'm willing to find out."Ca: "Així que, en una nit de novembre, van decidir investigar.En: So one night in November, they decided to investigate.Ca: Mentre s'apropaven a la fàbrica, la brisa feia ballar les fulles caigudes al seu voltant.En: As they approached the factory, the breeze made the fallen leaves dance around them.Ca: Els tres amics estaven alerta i una mica espantats.En: The three friends were alert and a little scared.Ca: Un cop dins, el soroll, un eco llunyà i constant, els va guiar cap a una porta mig amagada.En: Once inside, the noise, a distant and constant echo, guided them to a half-hidden door.Ca: Sota la porta, unes escales portaven a un soterrani fosc.En: Beneath the door, stairs led to a dark basement.Ca: A mesura que baixaven, la por es barrejava amb la curiositat.En: As they descended, fear mingled with curiosity.Ca: En aquell soterrani, hi havia equips estranys i proves suficients d'activitats il·lícites.En: In that basement, there were strange equipment and enough evidence of illicit activities.Ca: Caixes plenes de documents i roba indicaven una operació més sinistra del que havien imaginat.En: Boxes full of documents and clothing indicated an operation more sinister than they had imagined.Ca: Entenien que era un lloc utilitzat per tràfic d'éssers humans.En: They understood that it was a place used for human trafficking.Ca: Nil, Martí i Júlia van fotografiar tot el que van poder.En: Nil, Martí, and Júlia photographed everything they could.Ca: Sabien que aquesta vegada no deixarien que les seves preocupacions es desestimessin.En: They knew this time their concerns would not be dismissed.Ca: Amb les proves, van córrer cap a les autoritats locals.En: With the evidence, they ran to the local authorities.Ca: Uns dies després, gràcies a la seva informació, la policia va fer un registre al magatzem.En: A few days later, thanks to their information, the police raided the warehouse.Ca: Van descobrir una xarxa de tràfic de persones que operava allà.En: They uncovered a human trafficking network operating there.Ca: Nil, Martí i Júlia van ser lloats per la seva valentia i determinació.En: Nil, Martí, and Júlia were praised for their bravery and determination.Ca: Aquest esdeveniment va canviar els tres amics.En: This event changed the three friends.Ca: Nil es va adonar que confiar en la seva intuïció era essencial.En: Nil realized that trusting his intuition was essential.Ca: Martí va aprendre la importància de la lleialtat i Júlia va veure el poder de treballar en equip.En: Martí learned the importance of loyalty, and Júlia saw the power of teamwork.Ca: La vella fàbrica abandonada encara estava allà, però ara, els veïns no temien el seu misteri.En: The old abandoned factory was still there, but now, the neighbors no longer feared its mystery.Ca: Gràcies a tres joves valents, sabien que el desconegut podia ser dominat amb coratge i perseverança.En: Thanks to three brave young people, they knew that the unknown could be conquered with courage and perseverance.

En este mensaje tratamos el caso de una mujer que «descargó su conciencia» en nuestro sitio www.conciencia.net. Lo hizo de manera anónima, como pedimos que se haga; así que, a pesar de que nunca se lo había contado a nadie, nos autorizó a que la citáramos, como sigue: «Crecí con... padres divorciados por infidelidad, [y] yo con desórdenes [de] alimentación tremendos.... Un compañero de la escuela [abusó de mí], pero... creo que yo tuve la culpa porque empecé a conocer cosas que no eran de mi edad muy tempranamente.... Conocí a alguien a quien me entregué en todos los sentidos. Mi error fue que, desde la primera vez que nos vimos, me acosté con él, pero todo esto lo hacía para llenar un gran vacío en mi vida. También abusó de mí verbal y físicamente, pero seguí con él casi dos años, hasta que me di cuenta de que él sólo me usaba para complacerse y robarme mi dinero. Lo dejé, y ahora hace dos años descubrí que él me infectó con el virus que causa el SIDA. ¡Me siento tan fracasada! ... Me siento muy decepcionada y abrumada.... »Mi mayor ilusión era tener una familia, y sé que la realidad mía será que nadie me ame así como yo estoy.... Sé que pequé demasiado y por eso recibí esta consecuencia. Tengo veintiséis años, y siento que mi vida ya no sirve y que no tengo ya un camino que recorrer.» Este es el consejo que le dimos: »Estimada amiga: »Lamentamos todo el trauma que usted ha sufrido a pesar de ser tan joven. Dice que contrajo el virus del SIDA por haber pecado demasiado.  Si fuera así, entonces todo el mundo tendría el virus, porque todos hemos pecado demasiado. Como Dios es santo, un solo pecado es demasiado; por lo tanto, cada uno de nosotros ha pecado demasiado para ser aceptado por Él. Por eso Dios entregó a su único Hijo Jesucristo para que muriera en la cruz a fin de pagar por nuestros pecados. Así que ese virus no es un castigo de Dios por los pecados que usted ha cometido. »Sin embargo, sí hay consecuencias naturales en este mundo. Si usted mete la mano en el fuego, se quemará. No se debe a que Dios quiere que se queme, sino que la naturaleza del fuego es quemar. Cuando opta por tener relaciones sexuales fuera del matrimonio, la consecuencia natural es que corre el riesgo de contraer el virus del SIDA o una enfermedad venérea. Además, se arriesga a que se quebrante su corazón y a que su vida quede dañada de modo permanente. »Le recomendamos que comience hoy mismo una relación personal con Dios. Si acepta el perdón de Dios, Él la ayudará a perdonarse a sí misma. Él tiene para usted «planes de bienestar y no de calamidad, a fin de [darle] un futuro y una esperanza».1 Usted tiene mucho que ofrecerle a su comunidad. Puede hallar gozo y amor al servir a los demás, como también a personas que le mostrarán el amor que necesita para el camino que le queda por recorrer. »Le deseamos lo mejor, »Linda y Carlos Rey.» Este caso y este consejo pueden leerse e imprimirse si se pulsa el enlace en www.conciencia.net que dice: «Casos», y luego el enlace que dice: «Caso 136».
