Here’s the latest:
Sorry for the delay in sending updates, but my time on the PC has been limited the past several days! However, I did want to take the time to let you know that my sister is continuing to get better and should be released from the hospital soon….The doctors have yet to come up with a definete explanation as to what happened, but all her tests continue to come back normal! She finally regained her consciousness sometime on Wednesday and is now doing things on her own again, such as eating, walking, and going to the restroom! Praise God for her continual and speedy recovery…..At this point the best prognosis the doctors can give is that she had a massive seizure that was brought on as a result of the stress, shock and head trauma from her accident as well as the recent loss of her best friend to cancer!! There is some speculation right now that my sister may have epilepsy, which is treatable and controllable with proper medication….She will be be visiting the nuerologist regularly to have her brain scanned and tested so they can try and figure out what exactly is wrong with her! Thanks so much to each of you for your love, support, and prayers…..It overwhelms me to think of the number of people praying, even people I don’t even know! So, for what it’s worth, THANK YOU!
A lot of thoughts have been rolling through my head the past few days and I’ve been wrapped up on the “goodness” of God! Our God is infinetely GOOD, and never for a moment does he cease being a GOOD God! Bad things happen, terrible things, and things don’t make sense or seem fair to us! At any moment, at any place in the world there is suffering, pain, and loss happening! When our mind and our hearts get fixed on the “bad” things of this world, GOD IS still GOOD…..Weather there is pain or suffering or life and healing, GOD IS GOOD….
Much Love to all of you and may you be overwhelmed by the goodness of our great God

Let them know you’re concerned and you want to see America do something about it.

Why is an American life worth more than the life of an African child?

A writer for the DMN suggests a possible bid by Texas Gov. Rick “McDreamy” Perry or Hutchison for VP in 2008.

AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry had very different messages about federal spending in recent appearances before two very different groups.
To Senate budget writers in Washington, he pleaded for $2 billion to compensate the state for hurricane relief.
Four days later, Mr. Perry drew cheers from a Republican gathering in Tennessee when he lambasted big-spending government where “deficits explode, entitlement programs take over.”
His appearances point up the dual strategies of a governor who insists he’s focused on Texas as he approaches re-election while allies work to burnish his national credentials as a potential vice presidential nominee.
The out-of-state events not only have heightened his profile but they also have created behind-the-scenes tension with Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison’s backers. They see her as a more likely choice for vice president on a GOP ticket in 2008.

With a 11-1 win over Fastonal (sp?) last night our softball team has guaranteed a winning record (.500) for the spring season.
There are four games left, including one double header so whether we win or lose the rest of the season, we have a winning season.
As a small sidenote I went 3 for 3 last night with 2 RBI’s. Can’t complain about that.
Anyways come on out and enjoy the remainder of the season.

DMN columnist Steve Blow talks about the media’s bias today in his column. Be sure to read it. It seems as though it doesn’t matter which side of the aisle you’re on, it seems everyone wants to believe the media is out to get them – and it’s a little far-fetched at times.

I was startled the other day to realize: I’m a Jew. And a Gypsy. An Irish immigrant. A lawyer, too.
Granted, I haven’t taken nearly as much grief as those others. But like all of them before, it’s now my turn to be a scapegoat. A whipping boy. A convenient enemy.
You see, I’m a member of the hated mainstream media.
Now, if the term “mainstream media” doesn’t automatically make your lip curl, then you haven’t been indoctrinated by the political fringes. But trust me, it’s no compliment to be “mainstream” these days.

Dallas’ Global Night Commute will be at Pegasus Plaza – Main St at Akard, Dallas.
This 16000 square foot, $3 million plaza was built with assistance from the actress Greer Garson, a Dallas resident. A fountain and nine granite boulders bearing the names of the Greek muses mark this plaza. The Red Flying Horse, Pegasus, was restored and relit for the year 2000 and placed atop the Magnolia Hotel at 1401 Commerce Street downtown.
