Pastor, That’s an interesting idea but I do not have the language skills needed. Perhaps there might be a bilingual member at your church who might be interested in translating some of my posts so that the Spanish speaking population can benefit as well. I would be happy to post a few Spanish translations at this site if we can work something out. Perhaps it might warrant its own BLOG if it becomes popular.
