Our Family Ethos:


At Flamingo Road Church we encourage our staff and volunteers to live accordingly to FRC Ethos:
  • Diversity: Is there someone not like me?
  • Movement: Which direction am I going?
  • Collaboration: Who am I doing life with?
  • Potential: Is this the best that I can do?
  • Environment: How does it make me feel?
  • Thinking: Where am I thinking?
God created us with a great potential, the problem is that very often we are unable to reach ours, just because lack of direction. Working for Flamingo Road Church has helping me to understand the importance of this rules in my life and my pastor, Troy Gramling has given us great direction on how to do life together.

Living accordingly this ethos is not enough, because I believe I have to teach my little ones about it, I started late in my life to take care of my body, so it has been not easy for me to get in shape, start eating healthy etc... and I'm not there yet... as my friend Heredes said, "The best is yet to come", and now my beloved joined me on this venture as well as my daughters are now exercising regularly. My next challenge is to partner with my family to understand the importance of each of the FRC Ethos in our family life, so we can reach our God’s potential as family, experiencing together. 

My Family Values:
  • God: Has been God your first priority today?
  • Family: We are together on this journey, so, are we doing our best for each other?
  • Fitness: Is this the best I can eat? Am I exercising constantly?
  • Diversity: Are all my friends like me?
  • Movement: Which Direction am I going?
  • Collaboration: Are we helping each other enough?
  • Potential: Is this the best I can do?
  • Environment: Is this the best I can keep my area?
  • Thinking: Am I reading enough, thinking enough?
This is just our first sketch, but soon we’ll be walking on the right direction to reach our God’s potential.

    Great post! So inspiring! I have been going over different versions of our family ethos also, as well as a concise vision statement. It's still cooking creatively, but we're excited to put into words the vision God has given us for our family's destiny!

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...
