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.

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.

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...
