Centenario de un fusilamiento

Hurgando en los anales históricos de nuestro país, logré encontrar un pequeño rastro que me condujo a conocer a todos los hermanos y hermana de mi abuelo Antonio, así como saber quienes fueron sus padres, o sea, ya logré llegar a conocer a mis bisabuelos Antonio y María! Pues resulta que Antonio y María procrearon 6 hijos, Ma. Esther, Antonio, Aureliano, David, Miguel y José Sabás... este último fue el fundador del periódico "Voz Del Norte" que se distribuia en Mocorito, Sinaloa. y que aparentemente sigue siendo publicado: Me encontré este artículo del tío Sabás: "¿Qué placer puede experimentar el que escribe un anónimo, con la intención dolosa de hacer daño? Si ahondamos un poco, descubrimos con sorpresa que en un rincón de la vida hay monstruos que esgrimen esa arma para vengar agravios. Y si ahondamos más todavía, encontramos al hombre que va con su veneno manchando cuanto encuentra. Herir a mansalva es obra de pequeños, de insignificantes que nada son y que...

Are you young at heart?

"Fairy tales can come true it can happen to you, if you're young at heart." Today is the first day of a new stage of my life, and I know that there is a lot of thing to be done, and I discovered that aging is a matter of a way of thinking. You'll become old, the day you stop learning, challenging yourself, trying to make your life "easier". Paul wrote on the Bible: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." So, renew your mind every day, and no matter if you are 18 or 105, you'll be young, not only at Heart, but also at Life!

A good advise!

I visited a friend of mine who lives on the middle of the loneliness and as part of our conversation he shared with me "I give advise to no one, because those who are wise, they don't need it and those who are dumb, are unable to follow it". After our conversation, I was thinking of what he shared with me... on the popular phrases there is wisdom, nevertheless as my friend said, "dumbs are unable to follow advise" and there is a lot of people who believe "No one get experience from others". I believe that wisdom depends of our capability to learn from the experience of others, so the wise have been those who are able to observe the other's actions, and they are able to get conclusions from there, avoid their mistakes and are able to improve the good. There is a proverb that says "If you don't get advise you will never be an old man..." And there is this olive for your cocktail... "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with ...

Truth or dare?

One of the things that is surprising to me today, is the low value that many people assign to their own promises. Teenagers don't believe their parents, because they never fulfill their promises; Couples say "I'll stand by you forever" and few months later they walk on the opposite direction; politicians make promises to earn votes, and once the election is done, they forgot about it. I remember one of the first things I learned from my grandmother it was the value of my word. "A gentleman always fulfill his promises, a man with no word has no honor" and I learned to live by that principle. Few weeks ago, I was having a discussion with one of the leaders on the youth ministry at Flamingo Road Church about some technical difficulties we were experiencing during the broadcasting of our Student Service online, and I challenged him to fix the failures, so if he would complete the task with no errors, I will do my hair like him... (He had a Mohawk haircut with ...

The Tree of faith!

Last January we were on the process of buying our house, by that time we really did't knew for sure if we could get the property for what we offered... at that time, it was uncertain the purchase of the property, but we saw a tall Christmas tree and I always wanted to have a tall tree at home and I told Dora: "We are going to buy that tree, on faith" I knew that we didn't know for sure if we were going to get our dream house, but on faith we decided to buy the tree (It was also 75% off), so we bought it and stored until we purchased our house... then it was the first box to be placed on the attic, besides other Christmas purchases and we decided to bring it on before thanks giving, so here is a picture of the just unpacked and lighted tree of the faith... Decorations will come soon!

Just a little...

I had the opportunity to share just a little bit of my life on a short video at Flamingo Road Church. Here is it... Arturo De la Mora Testimony from Arturo De la Mora on Vimeo .
