Regrets


One day you open your eyes and notice that you missed one mark or may be many marks. You missed the bull eye and you lived for years without conscience until that day… You wish were possible to change your actions on the past, but there is nothing you can do about it. The time is hard and once a second has been expended, there is no way to go back and bring it back. That is called regret. You regret you didn’t listen to some one who warned you, you regret you did something or you didn’t… and as good friend of mine once told me about life… “Life is like your checking account; the past is like the money you already expended… it is gone, is no longer on your account. Tomorrow is like the money you have not earned, is not there yet, and today is your current balance, you cannot live life regretting the past or living on the future. Today it is what it is” The explanation was good… but then… How to deal with regret? Regret is like to deal with thirst it will lead you to death if you don’t satisfy it. Jesus said on John 4:14 ”but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." If you are living in regret, get back to Jesus and he will bring peace to your regret…

Quizás hay veces que deseamos que las acciones de nuestro pasado hubiesen sido distintas, pero cada cosa la vivimos en su tiempo, tal vez ahora no haríamos lo mismo que hicimos en el pasado, son diferentes circunstancias y no se tiene la misma madurez, esa te la da el tiempo y las experiencias, todo tiene su tiempo…
    Cada segundo tiene su propio momento… los del ayer se viven de una forma, los del presente se viven de forma distinta y los del futuro también dependerá de las circunstancias. Si nos arrepentimos de alguna decisión mal tomada, generalmente se puede hacer algo al respecto… con la paz y la sabiduría de Dios.

The Carrasco's... A Little bit of history, Part III

I know just a little about my grand grand parents, but I have the names and a picture. Lucecita García Luna and Blas Carrasco, they had 19 kids… It's obvious there no was TV on that time. One of their sons, Eduardo Carrasco García Luna, married María Contreras Nuñez, who was daughter of Vicentita Nuñez and Teodoro Contreras. They had five kids: Natalia, Eduardo, Alicia Solveigh, Manuel and Lolita. My Grandpa Eduardo used to work for the city of Tlalnepantla and he was recognized because his honest service. He was also a talented self taught musician, he played piano, violin and other musical instruments. He was always a family man, and he died in the early 60’s. I barely remember when he past away. It is one of my first memories, and it was a painful process for the family. My grandma moved from Tlalnepantla to Mexico city to live close to his two sisters Margarita (Mago) and Linda. Grandma was a faithful woman. I remember her as a devoted Christian Catholic. She walked every day f

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
