Observe

This picture is taken at Mission San Jose in San Antonio, Texas. This is one of the 5 missions there, the Alamo included. Take time to study each statue in stone on this church. Notice St. Joseph (San Jose) holding the child Jesus - each statue was made to communicate to the Native Americans who these key early Christians were - what they were about. I learned from them as well. I will include a more thorough description in a later blog.

Sacrifice of Body and Mind

I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship. Do not conform yourself to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is pleasing and perfect. (Rom 12:1-2)
