Giving up... or moving forward


I watched last night the Movie “The Astronaut Farmer”, and it was a good entertaining movie about a Man who wants to reach his dream: To be on the Outer Space for once. One good thing I got from the movie (Beside it was a sweet moment to share with Dora), it was the leadership of the Dad, he was able to lead all the family to dream together, sharing the same vision, and when he struggles with failure, his strength came back from his own family.

Tuesday, Troy was talking about Perseverance, and about quitting. We all have a great potential. God created us for that. The problem is that some times we are unable to reach our potential because we quit. To quit is a state of mind, is resigning to our dreams, to quit is continue doing life without dreams, just letting the day go on without grabbing the opportunity every day has for us.

Every day is a new opportunity to face a new challenge, observe it, defeat it and grow… or just quite. The choice is yours.

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 ...

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 ...
