This is a Happy B-Day!!!

Wow... This birthday had an incredible jump start. I got on my mail, a b-day card from Garland... the first I received on the mail on the last few years... we are so used to the electronic media that we forgot how nice is to open a regular mail envelope and get a nice wish from a nice friend... and then, after the 2:15 service, I went home to pick up my family to be all together at the 5.00 p.m. service and my beloved one was carefully prepared a surprise for me... unexpected, because my B-day is tomorrow... so she got me! Home-made-cake, candles, flowers, and birthday cards... she invited one of my best friends, Douglas and his family it's so I was really moved by the surprise. But what I can tell you is what was written on the cards... every one gave me nice and beautiful card, but also hand written very deep thoughts that reminded me how big is the God's love. I ended crying (I'm sorry, I'm emotional, so what?) of happiness and gratitude to my Lord for he gave me this great, loving and caring family and friends. I can tell you it has been the best pre-birthday I ever had.

An then we went together to the service to listen my Pastor, Troy Gramling on the launch of the new series Rationalies... almost 500 salvation's on the weekend... people who changed his destiny for an eternity... Isn't a great way to start a Birthday?

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...
