A legacy...


All my life I was lazy about exercise... I thought that I don’t needed but after few years I discover that even when I was skinny, really skinny, (if you don't believe me that's me at 22) and never had discipline practicing any exercise. When you are young, the wonderful body created by God, is able to support overloads, excesses, and laziness, but on your later years you will get the invoice of all of the “advances” and you have to pay it all soon or late (more soon than late). I’m being paying mine with interest. On my visit to my son we talked about one of the first books Troy Gramling recommended me: “Today Matters” by John Maxwell, and one of the subjects of our conversation was “The soonest you make a decision in your life, the longest impact it will have in yours”. I challenged him to start exercising at the Gym early on the morning, and then continue his every day life, and today we went together for the first time to the Gym. If he continues, he is getting a legacy that will impact his life quality on the future. By the way, if you haven’t read “Today Matters”, go for it… that book changed my life and will change 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 ...

Reencounter...

Technology is great to be in contact with our beloved ones, few years ago, our family was divided by the distance, but thanks to messengers, chats and videoconference programs we have been in contact... but two days ago, I had the opportunity to meet with my sisters Tony, Paty and Martha and my brother Jose Antonio in the Family Ranch "La Sarana" on the middle of the mountains that surround Mexico City. We were there with no wifes, sons or friends... just the five of us. It was the first time that we were together since fifteen years ago ... wow... it was an incredible night. We were in the ranch having a great time full of memories, forgiveness, love, food, medical exams and fun. The seed of love and unity that our mother Sol planted many years ago in us, was giving us plenty of fruit. The experience to be together again, is somethng that we are planning to repeat as soon as we find another opportunity.
