Bananas – A Haiku
We hang in bunches
Our flowers bloom from long stalks
Out sprouts the sweet fruit

Casa Rio Restaurant San Antonio, Texas

I am reflecting on how much I love Casa Rio Mexican Restaurant in San Antonio,Texas. For over 25 years, I have been enjoying the Casa Rio El Rio Dinner. The dinner starts off with nachos and guacamole salad. I love the cheese on the nachos, and the little bit of hot sauce that tops the guacamole off. It is a nice added touch that makes the dinner special to me. The top shelf margaritas are also an added touch that makes one smile and easily take in the people watching along the river.
Next comes the hot plate. The hot plate consists of a well-seasoned tamale, a big tasty taco, a cheese enchilada oozing with the best sauce and cheese, chile con carne that is so flavorful, and Mexican rice and beans.
I think the photos speak volumes, but you will never know until you give it a try. This is Tex-Mex at it’s best!

Frenemies
A party is available. They are sure to come.
They want what you have, but share with no one.
They want your ear, as if you’re Dr. Phil,
Yet they will not help you, even if you are ill.
Their time bank is full, so full of themselves,
That when you ask for a little, you get shelved.
They smile and say, ” How wonderful you are.”
Yet privately describe you, as if you are tar.
They do their best to zap the good from you,
And leave your feeling, as if you have the flu.
You need their help, but when the time comes,
They leave you dry, so they can have fun.
When you confront them about how you feel,
These people will scream, ” No big deal. “
So when they fail to listen, it is time to break.
There is no need for toxic relations for heaven’s sake.

I Wonder
Sometimes I wonder,
Where you are?
Sometimes I remember,
How you felt.
Sometimes I long,
To kiss you again.
Sometimes I see you,
In my dreams.
Sometimes I ask myself,
Why did we part?
Sometimes I think,
Will our paths cross again?
Sometimes the mind wanders,
And while it wanders,
I wonder.

Winter – A Haiku
Frigid, icy, land
Short days and the longest nights
Made for sleeping in.

As technology and science move forward, we see new abilities that have never been available to us. The question from theologists are, “Should we do this? Are we playing God?” From a science perspective, there is a possibility of being able to help babies to be born healthy without genetic abnormalities.
Three Parents Babies. What do you think? Should we allow this science to proceed?

Science Vs. God
Posted: February 12, 2014 in Education, ReligionTags: astrology, Dr. Hugh Ross, Education, God, Physics, religion, science
Recently, I went to a presentation by Dr. Hugh Ross, astrophysicist. Dr. Ross presented scientific data that points to the existence of God. He explained that he came to God based on this verse 1 Thessalonians 5:21 Test everything, but hold onto what is good. He explained that this is the scientific method. It is written in the Bible. I could not agree more, because science is the testing of a hypothesis. Science and God should never be enemies in my opinion.
One of the leading Atheists, Lawrence Krauss stated there must be a God. We know that during the Cambrian period we had a sudden rise in land masses and oxygen levels rose to sustainable levels for life. This coincides with Genesis and what God explained to us happened in the seven days of earth’s development. The book of Job also covers Earth’s development in chapters 37,38, and 39. Interestingly enough, we now know that scientifically Darwin did not get it right. Richard Dawkins even agrees that most vertebrates were found during the Cambrian period. All of this is based on the most recent science. God is allowing us to discover that he is real and that he created the universe.
The Bible is 4 for 4 and 10 for 10 on predicting accurate events regarding Earth. The Bible has over 200 scientifically accurate positions regarding the Earth. The probability of this happening without divine inspiration would be 10 to the 300th power. The Bible is the only historically accurate book regarding Earth’s development and it was written pre-science. The science of Christianity stands up with evidence against the most hostile community.
