Well, it looks like the ball is rolling.
The CWF has been asked to go to Nigeria in late September or October for two weeks.
We’ve been told they want to hold shows in soccer stadiums that seat 50,000 people. I sure hope this is a God thing, because an empty stadium that normally holds 50,000 people could be disheartening.
But either way, looks like I’m going to be in the fundraising business for a while.
So if you’re interested in helping us proclaim the Gospel in Nigeria, Africa this fall, please let us know.
Our first payments of $250 are due at the first of March.

I gots to tell you, I still love me some Peach Snapple Tea (or any Snapple tea for that matter).
I don’t buy it much because I’m more conscious about where my money goes, but whenever I “splurge” it always hits the spot and leaves me craving more.
We used to grab two or three of those a day when we were in high school.
Those were the days – when you made money and you could spend it all without having to worry about bills and rent or other monthly costs.
If you went out to eat it was in addition to the “free” food you got at home.
If you got low on your cash flow, you would still have food waiting at home, electricity coming on and a hot shower.
Now if you get low on your cash flow you have to decide, do I grab a burger or eat a cold sandwich at home so I can pay my bills.
Growing up is no fun 🙂

Ellis County GOP have started their own blog to push news to the public quickly and efficently.

Mike McIlvain sent this along to me…

As another year will shortly be a memory, my heartfelt appreciation goes out to all of you who have taken the time and trouble to send me “forwards” over the past 12 months. Thank you for making me feel safe, secure, blessed, and wealthy.
Extra thanks for the ones that I have to open 15 times to get to the message.
Special thanks to whoever sent me the one about rat poop in the glue on envelopes ’cause I now have to go get a wet towel every time I need to seal an envelope.
Also, I scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.
Because of your concern, I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains. I no longer drink Pepsi, or Dr Pepper, since the people who make these products are atheists who won’t put “Under God” on
their cans.
I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.
I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.
I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.
I no longer go to shopping malls because someone might drug me with a perfume sample and rob me. I no longer receive packages from, nor send packages by UPS, or FedEx, since they are actually Al Qaeda in
disguise.
I no longer answer the phone, because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore, and Uzbekistan.
I no longer eat KFC, because their “chickens” are actually horrible mutant freaks without feathers.
I no longer have any sneakers — but that will change once I receive my free replacement pair from Nike.
I no longer have to buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus, since I now have their recipe.
I no longer worry about my soul, because at last count I have 363,214 angels looking out for me.
Thanks to you, I have learned that God only answers my prayers if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.
I no longer have any savings, because I gave it to a sick boy who is about to die in the hospital (for the 1,387,258th time)
I no longer have any money at all – but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special email program.
Yes, I want to thank you so much for looking out for me that I will now return the favor!
And don’t forget to say “Merry Christmas”!!
If you don’t send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 7 minutes, a large pigeon with a wicked case of stomach flu will land on your head at 5:00 PM (EDT) this afternoon. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of mine’s next door neighbor’s ex-mother-in-law’s second husband’s cousin’s
beautician.
Have a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Not quite a highlight of the day….

Man in critical condition after collision with train

A Waxahachie man was seriously injured when his car collided with a Union Pacific train Thursday afternoon near the intersection of Munchus St and Eggar St.
At approximately 3:51 p.m., the train, travelling northbound on the Southern Pacific Railroad collided with the car traveling westbound at the Munchus St. crossing.
The car was pushed down the tracks to Peters St./Parks School Rd., approximately 1,200 feet away, where the car stopped shortly after the crossing.
The train continued on before coming to a full stop nearly just past the Burleson Honey building.
ETMC EMS, Waxahachie Police and Waxahachie Fire all responded to the accident.
The driver of the car, Fredrick Crayton, 32, was taken by air ambulance to Methodist Dallas Hospital shortly after 4:30 p.m., where he was listed in critical condition.
According to Waxahachie Police Officer Ron Clayton, inattention by the driver was likely the cause of the accident and the accident is still under investigation.
No lights, bells or crossing bars are installed at the Munchus St. crossing.

The Dallas Morning News was one of over 140 newspapers who faced a press deadline Tuesday night and incorrectly printed headlines saying the W.Va. miners were found alive.
They have an interesting article online on the deadlines newspaper face daily.
And don’t worry this isn’t the first time this has happened (with newspapers that is).
The Titanic, Kerry’s running mate in 2004, Gore v Bush and others have had wrong headlines and stories published before the latest news was gathered.
