A Camping We Will Go...

Hello everyone,

Dad and I are about to head out on a Eagle Scout reunion trip down into the longhorn stomping grounds of Texas. We are going to the Glenn Rose Dinosaur National Park for the weekend. Our old Scoutmaster, Larry Parks, will be flying in to be with us. I am greatly looking forward to visiting with him and the other members of our troop.

Here is a video I just have to share with you guys. It is a video version of the famous Mark Schultz song, "Letters From War". It's a great song with a great message of courage, hope, and dedication on both the home front and out in the wars of this world. This is what family is all about, the strength that comes from a father, mother, sons and daughters, who are overcoming with the power given to them by God. Enjoy.

Blessing upon you all.

Happy Fourth of July!

Hello everyone!

I am sorry it has been so long since my last post. Life has been a mix of work, car shopping, and more work. But the birthday of our nation is a good time to update. :-)

I go in to the store today, but instead of working 4-9 like I normally do, Mr. Andrews(My Employer) has switched our hours so we can be home in the evening! So today I work 1-6! We are breaking out our Bush/Cheney '04 cups to use while we devour our frito chili pie over fireworks this evening. :-)

You might be interested in my latest literary creation hosted kindly by Regenerate Our Culture's Fourth of July Issue, a thesis on King George and his relations with the American colonials.

Another lovely tradition of ours is to listen to the official song for the 2004 National Day of Prayer, "Let Freedom Ring" by Dennis Jernigan. This year on the website you can watch the accompaniment video online! Please check it out. Both the song and video are awesome! :-D

Have a great Fourth everyone!

Blessings upon you all,
