Patience and perseverance

I was having problems with my Internet connection at home, and if you have two teenagers and two little ones who love to practice spelling at www.starfall.com that's a huge situation. I tried to fix it, then I seek for support from Bellsouth (I'm sorry, the new ATT), they send me a new router, I replaced, then the problem was not solved, the new router was with problems and so for... finally they gave me an appointment for today, from 8 to 12... 8, 9, 10... 11... 12... No technician...

After several phone calls, and more tests, the guy showed up at 6 p.m. We were about to have dinner… well Internet is a priority for the sake of this house so, I gave up my dinner time to be with the technician. He replaced again the router, and it looks like now everything is working again. My teens are surfing MySpace, and the little ones back to their spelling.

Some days you have to make a choice… to do what you have to do, or just experience procrastination

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.

"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...

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.
