Good morning Friend,

This is a picture of ordinary guys who decide to do extraordinary things to safe lives in a fire or other emergency. The one all the way to your right is Norberto. He is a friend and for as long as I have been sending out this message he has replied back with his beautiful line "Praise the Lord, God bless". Every day he praises God and he speaks a blessing over me; every day! I feel blessed and encouraged by Norberto and everyone of you who write me a mail to share a word with me.

What I want to say is that we do not need tragedy in order to recognize our heroes, our loved ones. Heroes are sometimes closer then we think. God is not far away, He sent His Son to us to be in our flesh and feel our pain to rescue us from death.

 "[My Help Comes from the LORD] A Song of Ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth." Psalm 121:1-2

God bless you,
Julieta Reyes Flores
