Wednesday, February 15th, 2006Many of you know my personal friend and colleague Louis “CoCo” Carlo (rt. at top, with Jonathan and Xpress teens this fall) from his innumerable contributions to Generation Xcel the last three years. 2006 sees him embarking on a new phase of ministry as he leaves the Xcel staff to finish his degree and record [...]
“I don’t wish to have a coward as a husband.â€Â
Wednesday, December 28th, 2005In response to my Prima Donna Christianity post, Matt Kruse emailed me about Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand, Romanian Jews who found faith in Christ and were repeatedly imprisoned by the Ceausescu communist regime. In 1945 Romanian Communists seized power and a million ‘invited’ Russian troops poured into the country. Pastor Wurmbrand ministered to his oppressed [...]
She had a dream, and wasn’t afraid to take the bus to get there
Tuesday, October 25th, 2005Rosa Parks, Civil rights pioneer and hero for all, passed away last night. Rest in peace. Read an account of Park’s history-making decision. posted by Jeremy Del Rio @ 10/25/2005 04:27:00 PM 0 comments
Thank God for dad’s collar
Sunday, September 11th, 2005Chris Monroe (a/k/a Paradoxology or Desert Pastor) has an interesting post about clerical collars that reminded me of my father. In the summer of 2000, a pastor friend suggested that dad buy a clerical collar for emergencies. This might not seem noteworthy, except that my father is an inner city pastor that one national magazine [...]
9/11
Sunday, September 11th, 2005Frankly, I’m confused. Four years ago, September 11th changed my life. I never made it to work that day and officially resigned my career as an attorney one week later. I never expected that September 10th would be my last day practicing law, nor could I have possibly imagined what the next fifteen months of [...]
An Unmatched Honor
Monday, June 27th, 2005This afternoon at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, 100,000 gathered for what might be the final chapter in Billy Graham’s storied career as a Crusade evangelist. And there we were, 25 minutes before he preached what is quite possibly his final sermon, kneeling in his private compound to pray with and for him: my father Pastor [...]
I’ve known her since she was 5
Friday, June 10th, 2005Lorreal (aka Lori) Torres, recipient of the 2005 Xpress Writing Award and Xcel board member since January, is one of my heroes. (Photo courtesy of Mike Mowery. Check out more pictures of Lori and the rest of the cast of Xpress’ Life in Translation here and here.) At seventeen, Lori is finishing her junior year [...]
"Xpresser of the Year" is now a UN Consultant
Wednesday, June 8th, 2005Seriously. Generation Xcel’s own Kevin Cedeno missed our Celebration of Xcellence last Friday to attend the North American Regional Consultation for the United Nations Secretary-General’s Study on Violence Againt Children as a youth delegate in Toronto. That means we couldn’t present him with his award for “Xpresser of the Year,” and that he wasn’t there [...]
Big year for graduates – much love and respect
Sunday, May 15th, 20052005 is shaping up to be a HUGE college graduation year for me. Last Saturday, Ahndrea Allen got the party started by completing Northeastern University. Ahndrea was in my youth group for five or so years before moving to Boston for college. She’s a track star and musical standout who is currently deciding between offers [...]
