A good friend has sent his predictions for the final votes on Tuesday. We’ll see how he does…

In your story you said that neither would make a prediction about he outcome on Tuesday, I will – 67% Pitts 33% Horn. The 33% is a little above the D base. Horn will only win 3 voting pcts. In Ellis County.
On Adams – he Wins by 11%, Calvert by 15% Brown with 100% (but we will tell him there was a mistake and we are going to re-count him)
Perry (statewide) 43%, Bell 27%.
The only real shocker I see as a possibility is the CD 22 seat in Houston….the write in down there may pull it off because they don’t have to have a majority to win…but I don’t think that will happen.
The Waxahachie ISD bond issue will probably pass…

Tommy Nelson has recovered and has returned to the pulpit at Denton Bible Church. He’s started a new series on Romans and gave a brief testimony of his time away from the church. Click here to listen to the Real Audio file.
He gives his story of battling depression and how his body almost shut down from working to hard, doing all the things he loved.

What happened to my beloved Grassrootsmusic.com!?

The BBC has a great story about the nine people who survived the plane crash Sunday in Abuja. Three of the nine were sisters.

My good friend Phil’s sister had a second seizure this morning. She had one earlier this year after a car accident — around Easter I believe. She’s in the hospital now, please be in prayer for her.

One of my favorite scenes from the movie Spaceballs is when President Skroob and Lord Dark Helmet are discussing the combination to the air vault surrounding Planet Druidia. What? You haven’t seen it?
Ok better stop what you’re doing and watch the trailer at least.
As the Lord Helmet realizes what the combination is he exclaims, “1-2-3-4-5? That’s the kind of combination an idiot would put on his luggage!”
“Remind me to change the combination on my luggage,” said President Skroob.
Either way I digress.
But The Modern Life is Rubbish weblog lists the 10 most common passwords in the UK – a list that should serve as a good reminder of passwords you want to avoid.
The general ideas behind these passwords are pretty universal. Of the top 10 passowrds, 3 of the are numerical/ordered keyboard inputs (‘123’, ‘123456’, and ‘qwerty’); 4 are popular names (first names or popular sports teams); and 2 are sort of password jokes/gimmes (‘letmein’ and ‘password’).
Thanks to Lifehacker for the tip.
