Vamos a la playa! (Let's go to the beach)

Today was our first live run out of the house, so we had to setup the Mobile Unit for streaming. After sharing a devotional with almost 50 people at five o’clock on the morning, I installed the Grip for the camera on the windshield, cables, some Velcro on the dashboard of the Honda Element, the computer and, I switched from Home to mobile with no problem. Then we met the video production crew at Starbucks to be headed to Ft. Lauderdale Beach to shoot a video to promote Beach Baptism. While I was driving on the I-595, I missed the exit, and then we had to make a looooong turn to get on the right direction. The good thing about that missing exit is that Troy discovered a brand new Starbucks Café at US1 and Davie Blvd. Finally we arrived at the beach, after all the jokes about “Safe Driving”, “Get a GPS”, “My Iphone can give you driving directions” and so… When I was getting ready to take the camera out of the car, I discover something… I missed the camera batteries! We where running on AC… thanks God, Brian got another camera with batteries, and we where able to connect it to the Laptop, and to continue the live feed from the beach, right on where the waves hit the sand… I'm taking Miguel's idea to attach the antenna to a hat, will be fun!

On my way back I found why I missed the exit, I forgot my eyeglasses! Shame on me! Thanks God it was here and not at Orlando or Tampa. Heredes… be ready for Chicago bro!

The Carrasco's... A Little bit of history, Part III

I know just a little about my grand grand parents, but I have the names and a picture. Lucecita García Luna and Blas Carrasco, they had 19 kids… It's obvious there no was TV on that time. One of their sons, Eduardo Carrasco García Luna, married María Contreras Nuñez, who was daughter of Vicentita Nuñez and Teodoro Contreras. They had five kids: Natalia, Eduardo, Alicia Solveigh, Manuel and Lolita. My Grandpa Eduardo used to work for the city of Tlalnepantla and he was recognized because his honest service. He was also a talented self taught musician, he played piano, violin and other musical instruments. He was always a family man, and he died in the early 60’s. I barely remember when he past away. It is one of my first memories, and it was a painful process for the family. My grandma moved from Tlalnepantla to Mexico city to live close to his two sisters Margarita (Mago) and Linda. Grandma was a faithful woman. I remember her as a devoted Christian Catholic. She walked every day f

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
