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!

You can check the videos of the Trip right here:

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!

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 ...

World War II and my Dad... a little bit of history Part II

Antonio started a great military career, and he was from the first generation of Pilots who had a formal training with the Mexican Army and US Air Force. He graduated with honors and his generation was called “Los Penicilinos” (The penicillin’s). He was ranked on the 5th place from the Air Force School from 5,000 students. By that time, World War II was on its apogee and German submarines launched an attack against Mexican oil tankers that were providing fuel and materials to the Allies. These attacks eventually caused the Mexican government to declare war on Germany; Mexico was involved on the war and was part of the Alliance, so they needed to send forces to join the battle front. Antonio was promoted to Captain and because of his high qualifications he was part of the leading team of the “The Aztec Eagles” the squad that is historically recognized as the "201". He was trained at Majors Field in Greenville, Texas on November, 1944. Here, he and other pilots received advanc...
