Cheer.... LEADING!



Two weeks ago, Sol’s teacher told me that my daughter will be dismissed from Cheer Leading, because she was being disruptive, not participative, and was distracting others from doing their routines. My first thought was, “Ok, she don’t liked, I’ll take her out” but then I remembered something I just read on the book of Proverbs Chapter 10: (MSG)

“17 The road to life is a disciplined life; ignore correction and you're lost for good.”

Is not about to like or not to like… is about discipline. If I just leave her to act like that, she will learn that when she doesn’t like something, then she is free to do whatever she wants, so I talked to the teachers involved, I talked to Sol and explained to her what the right thing to do is. For the last two weeks she has been participative, disciplined and I think she is starting to like cheer leading… I observed today’s rehearsal and at this point, and as a Dad I can tell you this… I love my daughters… and I’m so proud of the effort she is now doing. Will she continue? Well, now is up to her. I’m done.

Proverbs 22:6 (MSG) “Point your kids in the right direction— when they're old they won't be lost.”

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...
