In order to be the father that God and your children want you to be – you must teach the lessons of your own Fathers!

I am a Father, and as such, I have responsibilities…to my children, their mother, my parents and friends. As a Father, I have a responsibility to make the world a better place. I must set a good example and be diligent to the fact (continue reading…)

I had to share this on this Memorial Day! This is why I am proud to be an American and a Christian! May God Bless our troops, their families and you and yours!

A fallen Marine’s letter to his family

I had not planned to write an essay on this holiday, but I just read a story that touched me so deeply I felt prompted to share it with you.  U.S. Marine Sgt. William Stacey was killed earlier this year in Afghanistan.  The 23-year-old wrote a letter to his family explaining why he was fighting, to be read in the event of his death.  Marine Gen. John Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, read the letter during a Memorial Day service today in Kabul.

Sgt. Stacey wrote: “There will be a child who will live because men left the security they enjoyed in their home to come to his.  He will have the gift of freedom which I have enjoyed for so long myself, and if my life brings the safety of a child who will one day change the world, then I know that it was worth it all.”

Today we remember 1.3 million men and women who died so we could live.  Each of them left the security of their homes to defend ours.  They paid the ultimate price (continue reading…)

A Mother’s Love…Lasts Forever       written by Brandy Lopez / Edited by Michael Arellano

Happy Mother’s Day to our Beautiful Moms! But more than mothers, you are Angels, Heroes and Blessed.  A mother’s love goes a long way, has no end and lasts forever!

But first, let me share a little about the mothers in my life – my mother and grandmother.  For those blessed to have a mother like them – you understand women with a heart of gold!

My grandmother helped raised me, so she was like a mother to me, but my mom is still my mom.  My grandmother did a beautiful job with her daughters, because my aunts are loving, caring and beautiful mothers themselves.

They all share the Word of God with their children.  They are teachers; they comfort; they encourage; they give us strength and showed us the respect we should always have for our mother.

I miss my “Abuelita.”  It’s hard for me to mention her because my heart aches and tears roll down my face as I cry and write this.  I miss you and love you, “mi ‘buelita:” “Feliz Dia De Las Madres!”

Now, about mom – when you walk into my mother’s home you become one of her children.  She welcomes you with open arms and is always ready to feed you.  Her heart is big, she does not judge, she is clean, enjoys company and loves her grandchildren.

My family always has gatherings at mom’s house, celebrating anything and everything just to be together, even though her health is waning.

Recently, at one of these gatherings, I saw her and one of her sisters dancing a Cumbia together.  This is something I had not seen in a while and I enjoyed watching them.

She loves all of her siblings the same and doesn’t favor one over another. To me, this is what makes a real mom: the ability to love without favorites.  Today, I love both my sisters the same – they are both beautiful moms and deserve “Mother of the Year” awards.

I recall my grandmother being the same as my mother is today.  I guess, in her heart, (continue reading…)

Happy Mother’s Day to all our Beautiful Moms! You are our Blessed mother, our Angel, Our Hero.

It’s a Blessing to know how a mothers love goes a long way and has no end no matter what!

Let me share a little bit with you about my mother for those of you who may not know her, but are blessed to have a mother just like her with a heart of gold!

When you walk into my mothers house you become (continue reading…)

Happy New Year to everyone!

My this year be a prosperous year for you and all your endeavors and your Dreams.

This year I have decided not to make a New Years resolution, but to actually move forward with what God has Blessed me with.

I want to thank each and everyone of you for all your prayers this last year as my family and I went through the most difficult time in our life, when we almost lost our Daughter Diamond during Thanksgiving.  If you do not know about this – she was on 100% life support and not expected to make it through Thanksgiving!

When asked who would make the final decision – if need be – I knew in my heart that it would not be me – it would be Jesus Christ.

As I stepped outside of the ER that evening to pray, I saw the the Twinkle in the Sky that brought back a beautiful sweet memory of my Princess Diamond when she was two years old.  She and I would sing” Twinkle Twinkle Little Star!”   Her favorite phrase was “Like a Diamond in The Sky” and she would say I am looking at you!

It was at that moment that God was saying: “I am looking over her as I am healing her back to life!”

Today, I am happy to say that after three weeks in the hospital and on Life support, our daughter is walking, talking and eating like you wouldn’t believe – and we love it!

But, we have to extend our Thanks to all of you for all your support and Love.

We should never take those that we love for Granted or say something that we may never be able to take back – especially if  God chooses to take them from us at any given moment!  When you invite someone into your own life treat them like they matter, like they are family!  That is one thing that I was raised and taught and I plan to have my children do the same. We may not always be perfect in each others eyes , but we definitely are in Gods eyes.

We have been Blessed with three beautiful children that are all grown up today, but to dad and myself they will always be our babies.

They each have a twinkle in the Sky that is as bright as a star and shines like a Diamond.

When you look at your loved ones Imagine that and give thanks to Jesus Christ for all the Blessings he has given you when it comes to Family and Friends.

This New Year I have no new years resolution as for many years everyone seems to make them yet there are those of us who never keep them, yes I am guilty!

The Blessings that God has given me this past year as he prepared me for the New Year!  I promise not to take for Granted  but to make it a priority, “my Priority!”.

I will reach for that Twinkle in The Sky, set my Goals and make them reality.  If you ask what is it that you want to do and how do you plan to do it, my answer is this: “I don’t have that answer, therefore I will not answer, but I can only trust in God and Walk with Faith! If you believe in me like you say you do then I pray for your patience, your faith and your support!”

This I can say: God has answered great prayers this  past year and one was healing my daughter and He has opened my vision to a New Beginning of real success!

I am sure 2011 was a tough year for a lot of us,  some of us had to deal with financial set backs, Health problems, and I am sure other personal issues.

This I will say why not join forces and make a real difference in our lives and set goals and make them happen.

We sometimes let the enemy take over and he will try and sneak up on those of us that are weak. I know because it has happen to me 2011 was not a  very year good for myself  The fears just got deeper and I became weak that I allowed it to happen.

God has let me know as the year almost ended that he has great plans for us by opening wonderful opportunities.

I am very happy and proud to say that Michael was blessed with an opportunity and he made it happen.

I received an email from a person out of state and is now a client and is blogging on our website  Blog, so with that said I have come to realize that no matter what I think or feel I should not Fear or be insecure I have to open my heart and soul and listen when I am being assured and  told the truth.

I have felt so lost and felt like I was going in different directions with me creating no direction for myself or my show.

My fear was that I would give it all I have and really make it happen and some where down the road  along with everything else that I love and care about would vanish.

I may have been my own enemy thinking these crazy thoughts, but today in time it is some times hard for me to trust, others may not understand but I have given in my time and shared with a kind heart and when not expecting it a bomb would hit, I know I have been told many times that life and we have to keep going. But  that alone would be enough to scare anyone as it has scared me.

Yet 2012 will be different I want to share with you that Latin Fusion TV will succeed and it may not just be just Latin Fusion TV but I will be looking at an even Greater picture I may not have all the answers or the logistics but I know that they are there where God has put them in my sight.

I support you with all your Goals and Endeavors for the New Year  and ask that you please continue to support me.

I may have created  Tejano Classic TV and gave it a new name LFTV but I did not make it happen on my own.

After going thru so many obstacles I have to  say thank You  to Independent Functions who is the strong power and mind behind  LFTV and it’s website are today.

That is the power of  “If” as it’s slogan says I can’t get what I want unless I help others get what they need.

This is proven to be very true and I am very grateful although I may not show it I know what my Heart feels.

Thank You Michael Arellano for your real believes in what a dream or  goal can really become reality.

You are that Twinkle in the Sky!

I am sorry for my actions and for saying I am just me.

I am not just me I am a person, who can make a difference if I just let thinks be..

I hope that those of you reading my article will learn by may mistakes and never give up  on what God has blessed you with.

2012 will bring out the the Eye of the Tiger that will add that twinkle in my eyes and if I plan to shine and work hard  for our business I hope you do the same.

Nothing or no one can ever take that away.

Happy New Year my dear friends and remember to hold on to each other and never let go that is just what the enemy wants as I have heard this many times.

Continue to smile like you have always done even if there was a time you felt it was gone, it has always been there, the enemy just tried to take control and today I found my smile again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

May God Bless You and continue to Walk by Faith and Not by Sight!

Brandy and I, here at Latin Fusion Tv, wish you a very Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving!

If you are not from the states, you may not celebrate Thanksgiving, as it is a National Holiday for us in the US, as we celebrate the beginning of a new nation and our national pride.  It was a time of new beginnings for our country, even before it was a country! Which brings me to my point!

Right now, Brandy is undergoing a tough time! Her daughter is in intensive care, or ICU, and on Life Support!  Two days ago she was on the brink of death – today she is breathing at 60%.

What a difference a day makes.  It reminds me to be grateful in all things, both big and small. And in order to do that – I must realize that thanksgiving is more an attitude than just a day.  And while many are waiting for the day after, Black Friday, they are forgetting the reason why we celebrate Thanksgiving in the first place.

That being said, I will spend time with my family, knowing I cannot afford the deals that Black Friday will bring, but I am thankful that we are not suffering through another loss in our life! I am grateful that my brother is here in town, my family will get together, as will Brandy’s (even if it is in the hospital). We will gather and pray for those things that matter! Because we have learned that Thanksgiving is an attitude – not just a day! And there is much to be thankful for!

Thanks for reading, thanks for watching and most of all Thanks for the Prayers!  May God Bless, heal and protect our beloved Diamond Monique!

Have a blessed day and a Happy Thanksgiving!

We love you all!

These past few weeks have been pretty good and I could feel that I was Gaining Strength – seeing things differently, not worrying so much, and trusting more in God and what His plans are for me.

But, have you ever noticed that just when things are going great and you feel in your heart that there is no need to worry or feel insecure, the enemy (continue reading…)

Today is the day that we celebrate the Fathers in the world! Including God our Father!

Children and mothers in the world know that any man can be a dad but not every man can be, or is, a father. I understand this, because I have a son and a daughter, and have been a dad to one and a father to the other.

Today is different – although I am not as close to one as I am to the other – I love them both dearly and If I could change the past I would do many things differently, but I would never change the fact that I have two Beautiful children.  I Love them both equally and dearly!!! (continue reading…)

In the United States we celebrate Memorial Day, honoring all of those that have died in any war while serving our country.  It is the ultimate sacrifice for country and it is deserving of our respect and thanks.

To all those that have died during a war – I pray and salute you for your service and sacrifice and offer prayers and thankfulness to your families.

Moreover, all that have died while serving our country whether it is called a war or not – you deserve the honor and respect given this day!

But their is more to honor on this day than those who died during war.  There are those that lived through the horrors of war and have died in other ways.  We are talking about the death of innocence, death of spirit and death of faith in God and fellow man.

The horrors of war are (continue reading…)

Dear Mom,

I write to you today, a letter, to tell you how much you mean to me and to say: I Love You!

I often sit in thankfulness and blessing realizing how special you really are.  You are kind and compassionate, caring and patient, prayerful and spiritual. You are thoughtful, mindful, playful, and even listen to me and my stories without commenting – until I am finished.  Then you encourage me, support my crazy ideas and always wish the best for m.

You pray for me, you have loved me even when I couldn’t and didn’t love myself.  For that I am grateful!

You have taught compassion and caring with your actions, not just your words.  More importantly, you have taught these attributes to many people, not just your family.

They say Latinos share a different type of love than many other cultures – I do not know if this is true, but the carinoso, cultura and familia that you have shared with us is a blessing.  And again, as a teacher, you taught many about our culture.

You have taught me how to live my life in a loving manner, how to be patient, and even saintly – whether I have done so has always been my choice.  But this letter is about you, not me.

As a mother, you have had to carry, feed, nurture, educate and protect us.  You have done this in a loving manner and without complaint.

You made us feel loved and special, each of us in our own special way.  You support us and our endeavors without question, but instead with love.

Mom, words cannot express what you mean to me and I cannot give you anything that equals the love you have given me.

So I say the following: You are beautiful, cool, hip loving, a great mom, a good sister and a loving daughter.  Our family holds you in high regard making you an excellent role model.

Your actions are worth emulating, your love is worth sharing and your accomplishments are worth noting.  I wish I spent more time with you, learning more about you sharing how much you mean to me.

So, I offer you my sobriety, my love and this letter for the world to see.

I love you Mom – Thanks for being you – I could not have been blessed with a better Mother.

Your Loving Son

P.S.

For all of the mothers out there – you deserve more than one day and love in more than one way – So I say this to you all:  May you find the peace and Blessings of God’s Love this and every day that you live.

For those that no longer have their mother – I sincerely hope and pray that you are peace, get to see Her again and have at least one more chance a the loving hugs only a mother can give.

And just so you know – OUR MOTHER MARY WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!

Take Care, God Bless and Cool Runnings Mon – Michael
