I've screwed up...


About a year ago or little more, my pastor Troy Gramling launched a series called Ivescrewedup.com about how often we made mistakes and how to deal with it. The series was accompanied by a website with the same name: http://www.ivescrewedup.com/ with the sole purpose to allow people to write and confess anonymously any mistake made on the past. The series was a great teaching series, but the website, over passed all expectative, and attracted controversy about if is a valid resource to confess to a computer instead of confessing to a priest in order to receive forgiveness and absolution to the sins. Media wrote several articles some in favor, some against and some neutral about the website… Yesterday, the website was once more time on the news at CNN and again attracted thousands of viewers as well as hundreds of new confessions and also hundreds of jokers and critics who were fascinated by the thousands of confessions. Ivescrewedup.com has been on the air since last year and often are people posting different kind of confessions. God looks to sincere hearts, and forgiveness came from heaven, not because we are good or we deserve it, but because the great and magnificent Grace of God.

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 ...

The De la Mora Crest

After some research, I found the Family Crest and it is just like the one I remember it was on my Grandmother's house. I always wonder why it was there, just hanging on the entrance, no one gave me an explanation of it, it was there just like any other picture on the wall. There was always a lot of mystery on the stories of my Granddad, all I knew, he was a great band director and musician and that's all... no other comments, except that my grandmother told me once that she remember when the elected president, Don Adolfo de la Huerta visited the house when my dad was born in 1924 he came on a big limousine to visit my granddad and to meet the newborn. After few months, the president was derogated and he moved to USA, also my family moved to Wichita, Kansas because of political pressure on my granddad who was Minister of de la Huerta's cabinet... after that, in 1927, my granddad died at the age of 42 because of overweight and alcohol. My grandmother moved back to Mexico with...
