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 ...

World War II and my Dad... a little bit of history Part II

Antonio started a great military career, and he was from the first generation of Pilots who had a formal training with the Mexican Army and US Air Force. He graduated with honors and his generation was called “Los Penicilinos” (The penicillin’s). He was ranked on the 5th place from the Air Force School from 5,000 students. By that time, World War II was on its apogee and German submarines launched an attack against Mexican oil tankers that were providing fuel and materials to the Allies. These attacks eventually caused the Mexican government to declare war on Germany; Mexico was involved on the war and was part of the Alliance, so they needed to send forces to join the battle front. Antonio was promoted to Captain and because of his high qualifications he was part of the leading team of the “The Aztec Eagles” the squad that is historically recognized as the "201". He was trained at Majors Field in Greenville, Texas on November, 1944. Here, he and other pilots received advanc...
