EDUARD!!!

Being from Orange, Texas (small town in Southeast Texas), all EYES and EARS are on Tropical Storm Eduard, mainly because my mom and sister are in its path. And being strong willed (ME? yes, but also my mom and sister), who knows what they will decide to do, until the last minute. I have gotten them rooms in Baton Rouge, should they need to exit in a rush.

Today, is really suppose to be my 'day off". Sadly to say, I rarely do take a "day off". And this is my own fault. I really need to learn to take better care of my self, which in turn, will pay off, not only for me, but those I am called to serve.

We have listed our LAST PINK ROCKING CHAIR for our Evening Among Friends Encore Series with Dolly Parton on EBAY. Let's pray that we at least meet our reserve ($1,000), which is the normal cost of that seat at the show! Of course, this rocking chair includes all the "perks" of a regular VIP ticket: receptions, valet parking and tickets to the show! Tickets for DOLLY continue to be made available at TICKETMASTER.COM. Let us pray for good things to happen at our event and GOD BLESS DOLLY (and her management) for the goodness that they have shown to St. Mark. I am also excited in getting to meet the many "dollyites" who will be traveling long distances from throughout our world who will converge upon Richmond, Kentucky! I am going to offer them a private tour of our facilities that concert morning around 11:00 a.m. and then together we will have lunch at a nearby restaurant.

I am getting read to "batten down the hatches" as my secretary, Liane, will be departing for two weeks on vacation to travel to Europe. She and her husband, Mark will be celebrating their 25th Wedding Anniversary! I wish them all the best. It is good that she will get this time away -- however, I hope she hurries back -- because I can already tell -- things will not be the same.

How many of you actually read this BLOG? Sometimes I believe that no one out there even knows that this BLOG exists! LOL!!

Wishing you all a pleasant day!
