This morning I posting a portion of my notes that I will be sharing with Rock Academy students during morning exercises today.</p> <p>Morning Exercises</p> <p>+We open with the following pledges, the Bible, the Christian Flag, and the US. Flag.</p> <p>+ Students share prayer request, which are usually prayed for by students. (K-3) students are some of the first to volunteer. (If you are parent, you should come video recorder in hand and record these great moments of your child praying for family, school, faculty, and our world leaders etc.)</p> <p>+ Discuss some current events, ie: news, wars, happening around the country.</p> <p>+Bible Devotional to get some Christ- Centered and Biblical perspective.</p> <p>Today’s devotional (1/5/2009</p> <p>Enjoy.</p> <blockquote><p> <strong>Intro: </strong>The world that we are lving in is in desprate need of models worth following.</p> <p>Book: Psalm 4: 6 Many are saying, “Who will show us any good?…”</p> <p>The psalmist is asking, where do we look to for models? Who will demonstrate good to us in these terrible times that we are living in? In the midst of prevalent evil of our days, it can become easy for us to wander “is there anyone who does good anymore.” There is evil because man is evil.</p> <p>The Apostle Paul himself battled with his own evil and bad nature. All of us must confront the realities of our own evil nature for the good that is in us to prevail. When people see us, they see someone who DOED GOOD. There is an opportunity for us to be men and woman of character.</p> <p>Romans 7:18-20<br /> <em>I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[a] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.</em></p> <p>We can do good.<br /> • There is good in me because God dwells in me. Because we know God we can know good and do good.</p> <p>Luke 18: 19<em> Jesus replied, “no one is good except God alone”.</em></p> <p>• Do not withhold to do good.</p> <p><em>“Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act. Do not say to your neighbor, “Come back later; I’ll give it tomorrow”— when you now have it with you</em>.” Proverbs 3:27-29</p> <p>• Do good especially to those of the household of faith.<br /> <em>Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.</em> Galatians 6:10</p> <p>There is good within each of us but we must have the desire and will to unlock the good that we know.</p> <p><em></em></p> <p><em><strong>Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it, sins</strong>. </em>James 4:17</p></blockquote> <p><script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Who will show us any good?", url: "http://danielarellano.com/archives/1176" });</script></p><div style="clear:both;"> </div> <div class="taginfo"> January 5, 2009 | <a href="http://danielarellano.com/archives/1176#respond" title="Comment on Who will show us any good?">Leave a Comment</a> | </div>  <h1><a href="http://danielarellano.com/archives/1171" rel="bookmark">January -National Mentoring Month</a></h1> <div class="postinfo"> <em>Filed Under Category <a href="http://danielarellano.com/archives/category/hope-for-youth-alliance" title="View all posts in Hope for Youth Alliance" rel="category tag">Hope for Youth Alliance</a>, <a href="http://danielarellano.com/archives/category/mentor" title="View all posts in Mentor" rel="category tag">Mentor</a>, <a href="http://danielarellano.com/archives/category/ministry" title="View all posts in Ministry" rel="category tag">Ministry</a>, <a href="http://danielarellano.com/archives/category/president-g-w-bush" title="View all posts in President G W Bush" rel="category tag">President G W Bush</a>, <a href="http://danielarellano.com/archives/category/uncategorized" title="View all posts in Uncategorized" rel="category tag">Uncategorized</a> by <strong>Daniel Arellano</strong></em> </div> <p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #003399;"><strong> National Mentoring Month, 2009 </strong></span><br /> A Proclamation by the President of the United States of America</p> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="205" align="right"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <div id="release-tools"> <div id="release-tools-content"><img src="http://www.whitehouse.gov/imgs/release_tools_icons_rss.gif" alt="RSS Feed" width="19" height="18" /> <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/rss/news.xml">White House News</a></div> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>During National Mentoring Month, we recognize the millions of individuals who dedicate themselves to making a difference in the lives of others, and we underscore our commitment to supporting these soldiers in America’s armies of compassion.</p> <p>Every day across our great Nation, men and women of many different backgrounds work to inspire our next generation of leaders. By sharing their time and experiences, mentors help instill important values that encourage America’s youth to set high goals and achieve their dreams. Mentors demonstrate that the strength of our Nation lies in the hearts and souls of our citizens and that a positive influence in someone’s life helps them secure a more hopeful future.</p> <p>My Administration has been committed to building a culture of service, citizenship, and responsibility. Through the Mentoring Children of Prisoners program, volunteers help provide consistent guidance and support so that these children can lead lives of opportunity and achievement. The USA Freedom Corps is strengthening mentoring opportunities in America and spreading a message of hope across our Nation. The Helping America’s Youth initiative, led by First Lady Laura Bush, motivates caring adults to connect with youth to help them to grow up to be responsible and successful adults. By working together, we can enrich the lives of our next generation and continue a legacy of kindness and encouragement.</p> <p>I appreciate our Nation’s mentors and all those who contribute to their community by helping to change a child’s life. For more information on volunteering to be a mentor, visit volunteer.gov. During National Mentoring Month, we honor the many Americans who have touched the lives of others with their compassion, and we reflect on their efforts toward building a stronger and brighter future for all.</p> <p>NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 2009 as National Mentoring Month. I call upon the people of the United States to recognize the importance of mentoring, to look for opportunities to serve as mentors in their communities, and to observe this month with appropriate activities and programs.</p> <p>IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of December, in the year of our Lord two thousand eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-third.</p> <p>GEORGE W.

Richardson said in a statement issued by the Obama transition office that the investigation could take weeks or months but expressed confidence it will show he and his administration acted properly.</p> <p>“I have concluded that the ongoing investigation also would have forced an untenable delay in the confirmation process,” Richardson said. “Given the gravity of the economic situation the nation is facing, I could not in good conscience ask the president-elect and his administration to delay for one day the important work that needs to be done.”</p> <p>Richardson said he will remain as governor and told Obama, “I am eager to serve in the future in any way he deems useful.”</p> <p>The announcement came ahead of Obama’s Monday meetings with congressional leaders on a massive economic recovery bill he wants lawmakers to pass quickly.</p> <p>Obama said he has accepted Richardson’s withdrawal, first reported by NBC News, “with deep regret.”</p> <p>“Governor Richardson is an outstanding public servant and would have brought to the job of Commerce Secretary and our economic team great insights accumulated through an extraordinary career in federal and state office,” Obama said. “It is a measure of his willingness to put the nation first that he has removed himself as a candidate for the Cabinet to avoid any delay in filling this important economic post at this critical time.

He utilizado esta herramienta para utilizar como ejemplo para este poste del blog. En 2009 he confiado para hacer más fluido en mi lengua española. Para ayudar con esto, he confiado para leer la biblia en español, escucho los profesores españoles seleccionados de la biblia en itunes vía podcast’ s, uno de mi favorito es hasta ahora Marcos Witt, para la lectura, yo leído a través de una biblia de la ampliación de foto que perteneció a mi Abuelo y la publicación cristiana numerosa me impuso de mi su biblioteca. Todo el esto me ayudará para un viaje en un futuro próximo a México con mi suegro y pastor. Vamos a visitar algunas iglesias plantadas por una de nuestro muy poseemos, un graduado anterior del proyecto de Addulam (Casa de Homber). Llevaremos a cabo varios servicios de la adoración y el entrenamiento del desarrollo de la dirección.</p></blockquote> <p>English Translation:<br /> But it read better in spanish.</p> <p>I discovered a great website resource (<a href="http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_txt">Yahoo Babel Fish</a>) that will help to translate your english to spanish and vice-vera.

All this will help me for a trip in the near future to Mexico with my father in-law and Pastor. We are going to visit some churches planted by one of our very own, a former Addulam Project (Mens Home) graduate. We will hold several worship services and leadership development training. </p> <p><script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Una resolución del Año Nuevo", url: "http://danielarellano.com/archives/1166" });</script></p><div style="clear:both;"> </div> <div class="taginfo"> January 3, 2009 | <a href="http://danielarellano.com/archives/1166#respond" title="Comment on Una resolución del Año Nuevo">Leave a Comment</a> | </div>  <h1><a href="http://danielarellano.com/archives/1162" rel="bookmark">Getting the itch to walk on ice</a></h1> <div class="postinfo"> <em>Filed Under Category <a href="http://danielarellano.com/archives/category/fishing" title="View all posts in Fishing" rel="category tag">Fishing</a>, <a href="http://danielarellano.com/archives/category/photography" title="View all posts in Photography" rel="category tag">Photography</a>, <a href="http://danielarellano.com/archives/category/photos" title="View all posts in Photos" rel="category tag">Photos</a>, <a href="http://danielarellano.com/archives/category/eagles-nest" title="View all posts in eagles nest" rel="category tag">eagles nest</a> by <strong>Daniel Arellano</strong></em> </div> <p>I diligently have been reading the fishing reports daily in the Journal and as of monday the ice on Eagles Nest is only 9 inches thick and ice fishing is prohibited.

<strong>Daniel Arellano</strong></em> </div> <p>if you are a urban youth worker and you have been apart of of Urban Youth Workers Institute </p> <blockquote><p>As we close out 2008, I have some exciting news to share with you. Urban Youth Workers Institute is proud to announce that the demand for our services is increasing at an unimaginable pace. The culmination of our vision to establish transformational relationships with 20,000 urban youth workers by the end of 2010 is in sight. We have confidence that we are not only going to meet, but actually exceed our ministry expectations. Praise God!</p> <p>As good as that news sounds, there are still countless numbers of Kingdom servants who are battling in the trenches, yearning for our support. We are exhausting ourselves daily seeking to meet their needs. In order to do this more efficiently, we have been in the process of creating a decentralized model for our programs that would give us leverage to create indigenous partnerships, expand our event capacity and provide more leadership and people development beyond our west coast headquarters to various regions of the United States.</p> <p>While the current economic crisis has led to staff downsizing and budget cuts for many of us in non-profit work, it has also become for us at UYWI a catalyst for change that would otherwise have taken a year or two to implement. We are seizing this opportunity to amalgamate our RELOAD and our UYWI national conference for the purpose of producing multiple national events in the future. This shift will offer our constituents the same great features while providing training events that are more cost efficient, geographically accessible and locally organized. This does mean that we will not be hosting the May 14-16 National Conference at Azusa Pacific this year.</p> <p>We are excited about how these changes will allow us to expand and deepen our reach to urban youth workers across the country. We will keep you posted as we map out the details so you can get these new events on your calendar. Thank you for all your support!</p></blockquote> <p><script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "UYWI shifts…no may conference", url: "http://danielarellano.com/archives/1146" });</script></p><div style="clear:both;"> </div> <div class="taginfo"> December 28, 2008 | <a href="http://danielarellano.com/archives/1146#respond" title="Comment on UYWI shifts…no may conference">Leave a Comment</a> | </div>  <h1><a href="http://danielarellano.com/archives/1138" rel="bookmark">Her eyes</a></h1> <div class="postinfo"> <em>Filed Under Category <a href="http://danielarellano.com/archives/category/flickr" title="View all posts in Flickr" rel="category tag">Flickr</a>, <a href="http://danielarellano.com/archives/category/fotos" title="View all posts in Fotos" rel="category tag">Fotos</a>, <a href="http://danielarellano.com/archives/category/my-wife" title="View all posts in My Wife" rel="category tag">My Wife</a> by <strong>Daniel Arellano</strong></em> </div> <p>These eyes are my wife’s and no, they are not fake eye lashes.

For if you do these things, you will never fall, 11and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.</p></blockquote> <p><strong>My whereabouts</strong>- I’m sitting at the <a href="http://www.ci.santa-maria.ca.us/home.shtml">Santa Maria</a>, CA public library which is adjacent to the the Santa Barbara County court house that once held the recent <a href="http://www.courttv.com/trials/jackson/photogallery/index.html">trial</a> of world-renowned pop star Michael Jackson.</p> <p>I came here this morning to reflect on the life of my grandfather Antontio Hernandez (8-25-25/12-19-2008) who went to be with Lord last evening. Let me tell you a little about the story. I won’t go into too much details because I have reserved them for future writings. I was raised and adopted by my mothers parents Estevan and Camila Arellano, who were from New Mexico and later moved here to Santa Maria I think in the late 50’s, were I was born in (’78) and raised until the age of 10, mas-o -menos, we later relocated to Espanola, NM to be closer to their roots in Northern New Mexico.</p> <p>Beyond my control it was un-fortunate that I missed out on knowing my Abuelos Antonio and Celia Hernandez. I remember visiting with them in their home in Guadalupe, CA (a rural town 9 miles west of the city of Santa Maria) as a child it wasn’t until the age of 16 that I was re-acquainted with them in the summer of 1996. Shortly after I was married I brought my wife Esperanza to their home and have brought everyone of my sons to meet them. They were blessed and very astounded that I had married into a Pastors family. Throughout the years they had heard about Danielito (the troubles and incarceration) through my sister Laura, who lived in Santa Maria. Since then I have visited them at most once or twice a year and have been able to put pieces of the puzzle to my own life together. Their journey and story, which was unknown to me for the most part of my life has solidified my faith, added value to those temporary trials which I thought were misfortune chapters in my life. Because of the faith of my Abuelos an the the providential working of Almighty God there was a transfer of faith reserved for a new generation that I or anyone else could not have plotted out. In the last couple of years some revelations about their involvement in Christian ministry and my grandfathers evangelistic work, has made my calling and election sure, filled many of the voids, has given me the answers to the questions that one day I will be able to answer. In short: My Abuelo evangelized and preached the Gospel in the city of Paquime, California near city of Angels, and in many parts of Mexico, He first preached in the pulpit of his father in-law at the church located on their property in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coahuila">El Torren Coahuila</a> . He had a desire to be an ordained minister but never was for reasons I will share at a later time. Its not about me, but it sure does help to know a few of the hidden secrets revealed.</p> <p>Source: My Aunt Ruth Bair who herself once asked Abuela, “why can’t I be an ordained minister”.</p> <h4> <blockquote><p><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=5&chapter=7&verse=8&end_verse=10&version=31&context=context">Deuteronomy 7:8-10</a></p></blockquote> </h4> <p><em><span id="en-NIV-5120" class="sup">8</span> But it was because the LORD loved you and kept the oath he swore to your forefathers that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt. <span id="en-NIV-5121" class="sup">9</span> Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands.</em></p> <blockquote><p><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=13&chapter=16&verse=14&end_verse=16&version=31&context=context">1 Chronicles 16:14-16</a></p> <p><span id="en-NIV-10835" class="sup">14</span> He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.<span id="en-NIV-10836" class="sup"> 15</span> He remembers his covenant forever, the word he commanded, for a thousand generations,</p></blockquote> <p><script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Legacy Re-visited", url: "http://danielarellano.com/archives/1097" });</script></p><div style="clear:both;"> </div> <div class="taginfo"> December 20, 2008 | <span>Comments Off</span> | </div>  <h1><a href="http://danielarellano.com/archives/1091" rel="bookmark">Im off to California to visit Abuelo</a></h1> <div class="postinfo"> <em>Filed Under Category <a href="http://danielarellano.com/archives/category/abuelo" title="View all posts in abuelo" rel="category tag">abuelo</a> by <strong>Daniel Arellano</strong></em> </div> <p>Thanks for your thoughts and continued prayers.</p> <p>I will be headed out in the morning to Sunport in Albuquerque.
