«Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.» Psalms 100:3 NIV

God is our maker, and we are His people. This means there are certain attributes only the maker of us has. One of those attributes is the right to LABEL us. If we check the back of our shirts there’s a tag there. Who put that tag? The maker of that shirt. 

We could write on top of it, put something else instead, or even rip it off, however all of those actions have no actual bearing on the fabric, the essence, of the shirt because we weren’t the Maker. 

Our Maker seals us with the following words among many others: mine, worth it, valuable, one of a kind, special, purposeful, and loved. Let us keep in mind there’s only One authorized to label us: our Maker.  

My name is Arturo and I am loved by God and in response to that I best serve others by adding VALUE to their lives. My goal is to enrich lives, relationships, and communities.
From an artistic standpoint I’m a visual communicator and via the use of photography I seek promote beauty, concepts, and messages. Spiritually speaking I've served as a chaplain at a addiction/recovery rehabilitation center, and before that as a youth pastor, missionary, and Young Life/Club Beyond staff for many years here in the USA and abroad.
On the mental health side I currently serve as a life coach, certified addiction recovery specialist, and marriage and family counselor.
