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 ...

Centenario de un fusilamiento

Hurgando en los anales históricos de nuestro país, logré encontrar un pequeño rastro que me condujo a conocer a todos los hermanos y hermana de mi abuelo Antonio, así como saber quienes fueron sus padres, o sea, ya logré llegar a conocer a mis bisabuelos Antonio y María! Pues resulta que Antonio y María procrearon 6 hijos, Ma. Esther, Antonio, Aureliano, David, Miguel y José Sabás... este último fue el fundador del periódico "Voz Del Norte" que se distribuia en Mocorito, Sinaloa. y que aparentemente sigue siendo publicado: Me encontré este artículo del tío Sabás: "¿Qué placer puede experimentar el que escribe un anó­nimo, con la intención dolosa de hacer daño? Si ahon­damos un poco, descubrimos con sorpresa que en un rincón de la vida hay monstruos que esgrimen esa arma para vengar agravios. Y si ahondamos más todavía, encontramos al hombre que va con su veneno manchando cuanto encuentra. Herir a mansalva es obra de pequeños, de insignificantes que nada son y que ...
