Now this is what I'm talking about! I've been on the road for the past 4 years after graduating from bible collage seeking God for what is my true calling and purpose in this world. I asked many times ... "What should I do Lord?". All this time I've put my hands to dozens of things that I believed He called me to do but non of them really and truly seemed to just hit me with that ... "THIS IS IT!" moment ... til NOW! Righteous Rides! It is for this that I was created to do! Since I was a young boy working in the garage at home with my dad. He used to minister ... "in his own way" ... to all the teen aged kids in the neighborhood that he used to work on their cars. These kids where all older than me and I really looked up to them. Whenever they came over and wanted something done to their car, my dad would talk to them for hours about life lessons and share his wisdom with them, they would come to me all the time and say "Kurt you rea...

R.I.P. My Cousin Walter Barreto

I received a call early this morning that my cousin Walter Barreto 44 years young had passed and was gone to be with the Lord. Words could never express what a witness of a beautiful fun loving spirit he was during his time here on earth. The Joy he brought to so much of the family with his never ending smiles, laughter and entertainment for both young and old at the wonderful parties he labored endlessly over. Although our lives where far apart geographically Facebook allowed us to connect on numerous occasions and the photos and joy that has been captured over the years of birthdays and other family get together's will leave a legacy of Love that will last forever in my heart. Elizabeth Barreto-Abreu and Jose Victor Barreto the brother and sister he leaves behind I'm sure you will miss him but I can tell you the Party is On in heaven right now and he is jammin' with the Lord in full Glory. I'm sorry for your loss and will continue to celebrate his life with the memo...

1 John 3:20-21 New Living Translation (NLT) 20 Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything. 21 Dear friends, if we don’t feel guilty, we can come to God with bold confidence. It was that time of day when I was coming home very late in the evening and wasn't sure what kind of mess I was going to find when I arrived. I was house-breaking a new puppy I named Kato. Kato my puppy I gave him this name because I used to love watching The Pink Panther and Cato was the name of the Karate expert assistant  of Inspector Clouseau and he would surprise his master with a sneak attack every-time  he came home. Well that's what this dog used to do to me. Inspector Clouseau Cato The thing about this puppy was he was a wolf hybrid and at 5 months he already weighed close to 40 lbs. and he could make a huge mess. Everyday I would open the door and he would greet me with a jump up to...

From There to Eternity

“The Power of your Testimony” Hello my name is Kurt Barreto I have had an amazing journey up to this point in my life. And my life is truly only beginning, life with God has changed everything. I was raised Catholic in Centereach, a small Eastern Long Island town. My childhood was awesome I have no horror stories to report; my parents are still married and raised me with much love. I would classify my youth as blessed. My wife calls it a "Leave it to Beaver" life. My Dad was a hard worker and my work ethic comes from him. Unfortunately this humble existence was the perfect subtle breeding ground for self-reliance to prosper! I truly believed I had it together. I went to church fairly often, I completed all my sacramental duties as a Catholic and I thought I knew who God was. But I guess you don’t know what you don’t know…. I got married at 24 because I thought I was running out of good luck with my usual sins of going out with girls and drinking. I had to grow up to p...
