Loyalty

Yesterday was another great day in this amazing trip to Mexico. Last night, I had the opportunity to have dinner with one of my greatest friend, Sigfrido Paz Paredes Sr. the man behind the Cancun development, and a great contributor to the Tourism Industry in Mexico for many years. He is the only person I know who was honored by the Mexican goverment naming a navigation canal with his name for the briliant project he visualized.

He has been what I can call a true and loyal friend, no matter the winds, or life storms, he has been there always. When I first meet him I was 14 years old... as time goes by!.

We had dinner at Ocean Palace Hotel in Cancun and we shared many memories, some jokes, some serious stuff but it was some of those moments, that no matter how long we where unable to see each other, was only a little pause on the time for a loyal and great friendship.

Something to consider when you are trying to reach your potential, is: Look around yourself, who are you doing life with? Cultivate friendship and be loyal to it.

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 ...

And they lived happily ever after...

This is where most fairy tales end. The prince and princess marry and ride off into the sunset to begin their new life together as husband and wife, a life full of promise, romance, and above all, love. (Check out Shreck, Sleeping beauty, Snow White and others...) But no one has ever told us how this is supposed to happen, or why it succeeds if it does. How a marriage can be a fairy tale come true, and how to "happily ever after" happens? That is only the beginning... Today, I went to the Pete and Julie's wedding... awesome... a dream come true... great service, great sermon by Pastor Garland, a lot of wishes, toasts, music, joy, party and fun... but... that is not and Happy Ending... is just a great beginning. The Best Man said few words, but the most wise words he mentioned was... "I hope you keep Christ as the center of your marriage, if you do that, I'll warranty you a happily ever after life" That's a true that we have to keep in mind not just at th...
