One small step for man


On July 20, 1969 My father came to the house and turned on the TV... Man landed in the Moon! He said. And we seat and watched a historical moment. The first words... "One small step for man, a great leap for humanity"...


Why am I writing this today? Because I'm feeling that way... every small step I make is like a big leap for MY humanity...

Today is a great day to thank God for all our body, all the functions in it, and how complex and perfect is it working. Is designed to last for a hundred years or more... but... once we are in charge of our bodies, we don't take good care of it and as a result, our body starts deteriorating earlier. The gout I'm having is a consequence of previous years of bad stewardship of my body, as well as my cholesterol, the excessive weight and for sure I'm not going to last a hundred years... and I'll do a little every day to improve my health based on my choices; What I eat, What I exercise, What I rest... choices, choices, choices...

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...
