A Proud Dad


I am so proud of my son Josh and his efforts in playing football for the Saints in the Optimist football league here in Conway.

The Saints finished in first place in their conference and have received a first round bye. They will play a playoff game on Thursday and then should they win the Super Bowl on Tuesday.

GO SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Horrible Incident at a Local College Campus

Late Sunday night there was a shooting on the Campus of UCA, the University of Central Arkansas. The cause of the shooting is still unknown, but there were 2 men killed and a third treated and released at a local hospital.
Stories about the incident are located on the following news web sites.
This has been a terrible thing for the City of Conway as well as UCA Students.

I would ask you to keep the families of these victims as well as the students of UCA in your thoughts and prayers.

Life

Life is a challenge, to say the least. It does not comes easy to some and not as easy to others. They say that through the trials in our lives we become stronger. Also, as we go through these trials in life and succeed we become more and more resilient.
I would have to say that my life has been such a challenge. Some days I want to give up and other days I press forward. That pressing forward is the resilient part in me. I am proud to say that I have not chosen drugs or alcohol as a means of escape from these trials.
My inspiration for pressing forward through these trials the fact that I know I have three children that depend on their Dad to be there for them. That is what keeps me moving forward.

Dancing With The Stars, Season 6


Congratulations to Kristi Yamaguchi and Mark Ballas in winning this season's Crystal Ball Trophy.

Kristi had tough competition from Jason Taylor, and his partner Edyta Sliwinska as well as Cristian de la Fuente and his partner Cheryl Burke.

I liked the top 3 couples, but I guess I was rooting for Cristian de la Fuente and his partner Cheryl Burke the most because of the injury Cristian suffered and continued to dance through the injury to finished third.

Dancing With The Stars is a great show because it has brought attention to the art of ballroom dancing. If you have not watched the show I urge you to.

America's Newest Idol


After a long fought season, David Cook has been named the American Idol for season 7.

It was a tough battle and at the end of the day both Davids won.

I can't wait for David Cook's CD to come out.

Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives


I want to plug this show. It is an awesome show on the Food Network.

The host, Guy Fieri, is an original and perfect for this show. Guy takes the viewers to out of the way places that serve real home-cooked meals. It is kind of like the best-of-the-best food places.

I recommend the show very much. Check it out at Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives.
