God's Chosen, Mere Mortals

By Othoniel Ortiz

Born in Puerto Rico in 1946 and retired since 2000, my main function at the company was as a graphics illustrator for company training manuals till retirement. I've worked with church ministries since my youth, and have gleaned some valuable truths along the way. As you read any of my short essays I pray God's grace will give you, the reader, greater insight and hunger to know God's truth even more.

"But, God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise,

God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong"
