Mission to Juarez May 05

Our mission trip to Juarez could easily have been measured in smiles. The poverty was overwhelming, but balanced by the beauty of the people we met there. We worked all day Saturday doing construction at the orphanage. We were all WAY out of our comfort zone, but much work was accomplished. Sunday we spent at the water park on Children's Day handing our Operation Christmas Child boxes (10,000!!!) and ministering to thousands of kids and parents at booths. Christ flowed through, and we were blessed. The hardest part of all was when we got home and had to part ways from our new friends. These were some of the most awesome people I had every met. To God be the glory!

If Daddy hadda been cool...

Now that I’m 40 and have a family of my own, I’m trying to come to terms with the fact that my dad was boring. The truth is that he was a poorly educated redneck. Nevertheless, he was a good man. Before I was born he did cool things: he was a race car driver and played for a minor league ball team, but, like so many men, after he had children, the cool mojo faded into the wind…. I pray that my cool mojo will prevail.

Del Norte Graduate finds Fame and Fortune

Here's yet another reason I am proud to be a Del Norte High School Alumni: Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez, Del Norte Grad and author of the Dirty Girls Social Club is on the cover of Time this week listed as one of the 25 most influential Hispanics in America. They call her the Godmother of Chica Lit, but I just call her beautiful. GO KNIGHTS!!!
