Have you reached your Potential?

Last night, Troy Gramling, my pastor launched the first on line staff meeting. Here on campus there were only few volunteers helping with cameras, the tech team and the Internet Campus team. Everyone else was at home, or Starbucks or anywhere else watching on their computers. Troy is sharing the vision of being able to do ministry without boundaries, and using technology. There was an attendance of 237 staff people who watched or at least listened the meeting. One of the last minute challenges was to have those with no computer, or computer problems connected, so we decided to use a conference system where people was able to dial a number and merge into the meeting. We got the service, but we needed what is called a “Phone Patch” to connect the audio to the phone line, and it was too late to order one of those pieces, so I made a “Tape-Phone Patch” and it worked fine, as you can see on the picture. Creativity is triggered by need, don’t you think so? Have you ever solved anything compl...

Do you think there is a better day than Easter to get Baptized? well, that's what almost 500 people did this morning at Dania Beach, FL. There are a couple of videos :)

Today we celebrated Easter, in remembrance of Jesus death and resurrection, after the third day he conquered the grave and because of the Love of God for all of us, he gave us eternal life. We celebrated since early on the morning at Dania Beach baptizing at 7:00 a.m... many peoples lives were changed. I don't know how many, but I know more than 500 signed up... we broadcasted live from the beach and by 8:00 a.m. we were transmitting our first Sunday live service from Cooper City with our Pastor Troy Gramling sharing a great message about Miracles on the series "RationaLies". We got a great crow at that early service time... We also got a great feature song on the services with a great chorus and I was able to participate there also... what a great way to expend a Sunday Easter... He lives! We will have 6 more services live today... so don't miss this opportunity to experience a great Easter Sunday no matter where in the world you are!.

This birthday is a great day to remember, first of all, God reminded me how much he loves me... then my beloved, my son, my daughters, my sisters, my family and friends also shared with me cards, gifts, e-mails and the most important thing... good wishes and encouraging words. At church after a magnificent weekend teaching we celebrated 524 lives transformed for eternity, 12 countries watching live services, and the continuous opportunity to serve others... Thanks God for all the blessings that we get every day! Thanks God for this first 47 existence years, thanks to my Beloved one for being supportive, loving and caring, thanks son for being a great son, thanks to my daughters for all the love they share with me, thanks to all my family for the good wishes and for being there, thanks to all my friends for allow me the privilege to be part of their lives... thanks to every one... thanks :)

Today, my pastor Troy Gramling spoke about some thing that we have to remember... Satan Values: Pride Gluttony Lust Envy Anger Greed Sloth Because Satan has a purpose and is on the Bible: John 10:10 10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;..." That's why I have to remember... To watch my attitude To watch my health To watch my finances To watch the unity And to schedule a change... Run with intensity Train with discipline Think to build a strategy constantly

Today it was a historical day for my church. Our pastor Troy Gramling is chasing God's vision to open up at least 50 campuses and reach at least 100,000 persons every weekend... at this point we have 6 Campuses: Cooper City, Doral, Hallandale Beach, Internet, Lima Peru, and Sawgrass at Plantation. Every Sunday we pray at 8:30 a.m. for the service, but today we meet at Cooper City Campus with our team as usual and also we included on the meeting, the Lima Peru Campus team, the Doral Team and the Hallandale beach team, thanks to technology! It was an awesome experience to see part of the vision for the future today... what to expect tomorrow? Only God knows!

All my life I was lazy about exercise... I thought that I don’t needed but after few years I discover that even when I was skinny, really skinny, (if you don't believe me that's me at 22) and never had discipline practicing any exercise. When you are young, the wonderful body created by God, is able to support overloads, excesses, and laziness, but on your later years you will get the invoice of all of the “advances” and you have to pay it all soon or late (more soon than late). I’m being paying mine with interest. On my visit to my son we talked about one of the first books Troy Gramling recommended me: “Today Matters” by John Maxwell, and one of the subjects of our conversation was “The soonest you make a decision in your life, the longest impact it will have in yours”. I challenged him to start exercising at the Gym early on the morning, and then continue his every day life, and today we went together for the first time to the Gym. If he continues, he is getting a legacy th...

Today I removed all the equipment we used for my MyNakePastor.com at Troy Gramling's house, remove wires we crossed from the control tower to the living room, dinning room etc. While I was unplugging the equipment and packing, I was thinking on the legacy I got from the previous five weeks. For true, the last five weeks made a key moment on my life. On the next few days I'll be sharing what I learned from being working so close to Troy Gramling. I can tell you this... insecurity is may be some of the most dangerous areas in my life. If you wheren't able to see the services, go to http://www.flamingoroadchurch.com and look for teachings. There are archived... and invest your best 40 minutes per teaching to see what can you find for you. Reaching our potential is a slow process...

The Great Wall is the world's longest human-made structure, stretching over approximately 6,400 km (4,000 miles)[2] from Shanhai Pass in the east to Lop Nur in the west, along an arc that roughly delineates the southern edge of Inner Mongolia. It is also the largest human-made structure ever built in terms of surface area and mass.

Friday is my Free-day and the best day for me to read, relax, have some time with Dora, wait for Pani to know where she is going out, so thank God is Free-day. I meet today with Freddy, a friend who belongs to another Ministry, but we where always in contact, we work together for few years and learning on technology from each other. He will come to help me during the MyNakedPastor .com weeks, to have up and running the system for five uninterrupted weeks… planning, dreaming, figuring what kind of problems will exist, and also talking and fixing the world from our own point of view, what if Chavez this… or Bush the other… politicians in Mexico and other stuff... then we have lunch together ( laaaaate 3 pm lunch) and we enter some discussions about what he thinks of this and that… What is great, after all the discussion, we agreed on something, we have a great friendship. Friendship is not about to agree on everything, is about to understand how God created us unique, each of us, ...

Today was the Open House at FRCA, my little daughter’s school, and Sol and Sarai where so exited to meet their new teachers… Me and Dora had to split… so Dora was with Sarai and Sol with me. Just walking in to the classrooms and looking around you can see and feel a safe place for my treasures, a place where they can get clear spiritual basis, that it is a really strong foundation for a future life. I Love FRCA…

I start praying for Lima, Peru and all the affected cities for this big catastrophe, is sad always to know about the life loses, and people injured. My prayers for all the people suffering and their families at Peru. I just remember 1985 in Mexico City, it was September the 19, at 7:18 a.m. I was getting ready to go to work when I feel a strong movement in my apartment, and after a very looong seconds, we loose power, and after that, several smoke columns emerged all around the city… the toll, more than 10,000 inhabitants where killed… there was a sad memory, I lost few friends on that cataclysm. One thing I learned after that, during difficult times, is a great opportunity for mercy, unselfishness and other great fillings to bloom. That is no time to think who is more or less important, and it is also a great time to show compassion, and love for each other. After the tragedy, I listen to many great stories about courage, and I’m sure that we will listen to great stories after this sa...
