New Adventure

Today marks the beginning of a new adventure!  After working for 25 years in the school system in Puerto Rico, Texas, and Florida...I will start a new job as a full time professor at a private university.  Dream come true?  Not really, BUT I see it as an opportunity to grow, to influence, to inspire...Let me go back to the "dream come true". I can't say that my dream was always to be at the university level, unlike my sister, but after a couple years teaching as an adjunct, I realized that it was time for me to address a different type of student...the adult learner.

Throughout my career as an educator, I encountered many adults of ages 30-50 that found themselves too old to study.  I could never understand why people would limit themselves that way when they still could do so much, but sometimes it is just a state of mind. I know...some of you would say "I don't have money!", but money seems to magically appear for other things, like a new house or a car, car, and a car.  :)   Why not education?  Don't get into debt, bankrupt debt, trying to get the things that ONLY a sound education can give you.  If you are thirty...what are you going to do with your next 30 or 40 years?  If you are forty or fifty....the same thing. You still have time for a whole new life to be successful. My dad always says: "Studying is worse than working", and he is right...But it is worth it!!  Nothing will give you more satisfaction...and before you know it...you look back and...IT IS DONE!!  To this day I hear family members and friends whine and complain about their wasted past...Do you?  Then do something about it, or for the next 30 years will be whining about your SECOND wasted past.  Grow old..with NO REGRETS!!

Education never comes alone.  With it comes professional status, higher self-esteem, power, peace of mind, better working conditions, travel, and of course, money.  And let's not forget responsibility, leadership, mentoring, positive influence, respect. 

But what does all this has to do with God?  GOD wants YOU to be the best you can be!!!  If you are not a leader, then you are a follower. As a leader, you have the opportunity to influence others; to teach the truth.  Which one are you?  How do you conduct yourself, as well as your behaviors, your thoughts, and your actions come from a renewed, rational mind; the opposite, from thoughts, and consequently feelings, that defeat every good purpose and plan that God has for YOU!!  The Bible says in Hosea 4:6: "My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge".  I believe this applies to everything.  I have sat in churches for years listening to all kinds of ignorance, and traditions of men... "...Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." (Ephesians 5:14). "...The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber..." (Romans 13:11)...The time is short!  Make the best of it!!  God is waiting for YOU!  Your new life is waiting for you!

Hello and WELCOME to Dr. Corona's Webpage!                            

(You can make the font bigger or smaller by clicking on the above far right icons A+, A-)

It is with much pleasure and excitement that I open this WebPage to the public.  There are times when you want to do something for the longest time and nothing seems to fall into place; obstacles left and right, the energy level going up and down, etc., and through all this, wondering whether you are crazy or sane.  Then it "hits" you...and all of a sudden it feels like you are coming out of a fog and everything seems right. You meet the right people (or they've been around all along), your skills and talents are put "into drive", your motivation is up, and before you know it, your dreams are coming true and you have become a TRUE disciple of Christ.  

I hope you are reading between the lines, and realize that if you wait until EVERYTHING is perfect to do something, then you are up for a rude awakening or a major waste of time.  Please, listen to what I have to say because, believe me, EXPERIENCE does count for something.

 

WHO can brag about knowing the mind of God, or HOW does He works, WHAT is he thinking, or WHEN is He going to use His power?

I’ve been through many difficult times in my life, as you all probably have, and I have wondered...?  Where is God, why doesn’t He come to my rescue, why doesn’t He answer?  I used to feel guilty for thinking that way, but when I go to the Bible, I realize that I am not the first to ask these questions and certainly will not be the last.

Let's think about this...Are we going to love Him when things go right, but not in the middle of problems and disappointments?  You could.   Is it wise to question Him? Other biblical characters have.  Why can't I?  What does He wants from us?

Are we supposed to have the “gift of patience” and/or the “gift of faith” to be successful…to get God’s attention? 

Is everything that we hear in church correct?   

The purpose of this site is to hopefully open some eyes that will enable Christians and people in general to SEE that the God they know or hear about  IS NOT the “child abuser, murderer, sadistic, catastrophic disasters” God that people AND Christians so emphatically present either consciously or unconsciously. 

HE IS NOT the God that “allows” people to suffer to fulfill some “unknown” plan for our lives, AND right know I’m getting ahead of myself. Too much said in this Pre-Intro.

Let me say this one last thing in this section....I don't need any famous, popular evangelist, pastor, or otherwise well-known Christian vouching for me, BUT only the deep, spiritual scars of battle, the marks of suffering and pain, AND the everyday victories as well, that only come from a life of simply believing in God.  Like Paul said: "Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body [and mind] the marks of Jesus." (Galatians 6:17 NIV).

Please, follow me into this journey of discovery as we try to understand our doubts, confusion, desperation, hopelessness, uncertainty, AND vicious rumors and teachings about God...things that take away from us, whatever little strength and faith we have left.
