While in Mexico we had a festival for the town where we built the houses. Every one that came to the festival received a salvation bracelet.

Each colored bead has a different meaning:

Black – The sin in our life – Romans 3:23
Red – The blood of Jesus Christ – Romans 5:8
White – Clean hearts after Jesus’ blood clean – Isaiah 1:18
Green – The growth in our life – Galatians 6:22-23
Yellow – the streets of Gold in Heaven – Thessalonians 4:17

One of the entertaining things about traveling out the United States is getting a chance to see money from other countries. After coming back from Mexico yesterday I still had a few pesos in my pocket so I decided to use them as my photo of the day.

A very large suitcase with automobile tags as state stickers like they used to put on luggage. It is a fitting piece of art to have at the airport.
