This is a picture of the great fireworks that Sandy and I watched while we talked to Jesse on the phone. I guess that is the next best thing to him actually sharing the moment with us. Tonight was the Houston Homecoming, and as always it is good small town fun. This day is filled with groups selling stuff, local groups singing, and lots of great fellowship. The committee that puts all this together does a wonderful job and should be commended. I love this activity. I guess I love it so much cause it is one time when the town of Houston is not squabbling over all the stupid things that seem to over-shadow what is really important. I wish everyone could feel the way I feel about our small town. For the majority of my life I have lived here in Houston and it has been great. I just worry about where Houston is headed, I worry that not enough people care about what happens to this great small town, and I worry that those of us who do care don't have the strength to fight those that are ruining this great place to call home. Tonight as I watched the wonderful display of fireworks and talked to Jesse on the phone, I kept drifting off into thoughts of how to make a difference. I guess living in a house for 20 years with a mom and a dad that care so much about giving back to other has rubbed off on me too. So when you pray for Jesse, Sandy, Emma Lee, and I please include a prayer for God to show me some direction. I just don't know what to do next and I need some help!

I can't believe Jesse's timing was so good to call just as the fireworks were going. Glad you had the chance to be with him that way. Jesse, we sure missed your physical presence, but you were certainly with us in our hearts. It was a good day, even if it did bring to mind some difficult things. God is teaching me to be grateful for all things, but it is hard sometimes. Just remember, all, even in adverstity: we have been blessed beyond measure. Think about it.
