Watts in 2008

I keep hearing more and more about John McCain running against Hillary in 2008. Geeze. Bush’s first year of his second term isn’t over yet and people are jocking for position.
I guess the West Wing was right…
Anyways, maybe I’m missing something, but why aren’t more Republicans pushing for a JC Watts Presidency in 2008?
He could pull a large majority of the traditionally democratic black vote and also garner the Republican vote that led Bush to victory in 2004.
Let’s start it now… Watts in 2008. Who’s with me?

Weekend update

Just returned from Arnold, MO. We had an amazing time. The van trip was by far the least enjoyable part of the trip, but if that’s it, we’re doing great.
10 of us left from Rockwall on Thursday night and arrived in Arnold (about 30 min south of St. Louis) around 11 a.m. on Friday.
We quickly showered and then headed back to St. John’s Lutheran School were we enjoyed lunch with the students. It just goes back to my column this week, there is a pure joy in seeing the world through the eyes of a child.
After lunch we sat up the ring and held a school assembly for the students.
They were quite fired up about the show and were a good crowd for the assembly.
Afterwards we went to our two homes where we would be staying the weekend.
My group had a great time. I hear the other group did too (despite the constant dogs barking :-)).
We stayed with a family of six. Rene, Ted, Rachel, Ashely, Jacob and Jack. They were all a lot of fun – especially the two boys. Most of the time there was spent wrestling with them or throwing them through the air or giving them “the electric chair.”
We met up with the rest of our group later that night at a local bowling alley for some quick bowling and fellowship.
After returning to the house, there was more wrestling, more “electric chairs” and more fun by all.
Saturday our group spent time at the local rec center swimming, while the other group stayed home and watched college football.
The show began at 7 p.m. with approx. 150-200 people in attendance.
Of course being so close to St. Louis, it was great to remind everyone there, that the Houston Astros had just beaten their Cards in the NCLS.
I believe we had 25 decisions on Saturday night, but because the church asked us not to do an alter call, we only had a split second to count hands during the invitation.
And amazingly, some of the things we were worried about, never came to fruition.
The show was great, successful, and lives were changed.
Thank you all for your prayers.
Here’s a rundown of the show (if I remember correctly – I’ll have to double check my notes when I get around to unpacking my bag).

Chris Idol def. Shiloh
Son of Thunder def. Michael Malick
Jesus Freak Rob Vaughn v Apocolypse – ended in DQ – Jesus Freak retains the CWF title.
Shiloh & Michael Malick def Chris Idol and Apocolypse – for the CWF Tag Team Championship

We left Arnold around 11 p.m. and arrived back in Rockwall at 10:30 a.m. It was a long uncomfortable trip, but well worth it. We met new friends, shared experiences and fellowship and rejoiced with new believers.

Our next scheduled show is Saturday, Nov. 5 in Rockwall at the CWF Warehouse. We hope you can join us there.
Thanks again for your prayers and God bless.

Preparing to leave

Well it’s been a slow day thus far. Not much action going on.
I went to Bryan last night to get our newspapers, which made this morning nice since I didn’t have to rush to Bryan and back.
I’m going to call a few folks about an upcoming special and then I’ll do my paper routes and then I’ll be pretty much done for the day.
I have a meeting in Waxahachie at 4 today. I may tell you about it later. Then we head to Missouri tonight at 11.
10 guys packed into a 15 passenger van. Always a good time, until you try to sleep.
So keep us in your prayers tonight and this weekend. I have a feeling God wants to do something big in someone’s life this weekend and Satan knows it.

Hillary holds fundraiser at U2 concert

Sen. Hillary Clinton, star of the Democratic Party, is holding a $2,500-a-head fundraiser but giving herself second-billing to even bigger stars: U2.
The event is for Clinton’s political action committee, Hill PAC, which has “cordially invited” 18 people to catch U2’s soldout Vertigo show from a luxury suite in Washington’s MCI Center on Oct. 19.
