Spelling with Word...


Today my daughter was printing a Spanish work for school and on fast eyes reading I noticed some errors, so I asked her if she verified the spelling and she told me that Word passed as good... Then I start reading the whole document and I found not just the few I noticed on the beginning, but also many more. The spelling corrector is a good aid but not good enough to correct a good essay. I explained every mistake to Paulina and after few corrections, she started to find by herself the mistakes. I'm sure that she is going to get an "A" on that essay. Then I was thinking on my way to write English. I verify with Word, but in essence I need to read more and to practice to really improve my writing. Is the same on our Spiritual way, we need to do a little every day to grow, to develop the full potential that God placed inside of us.

    Good word. We should never depend on spellcheck so much that we neglect the wonderful brain God has given us.

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 ...

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...
