Well, first of all I would like to say that our family likes football and we especially like the Chicago Bears being from Illinois and we also like the Indianaoplis Colts because my mom grew up in Indiana and Peyton Manning use to play for the Vols. So, the Super Bowl will be a good game I believe. Both games yesterday were nail biters but they were played really well over all.

Speaking of football, I went to see We are Marshall. What a great movie. A very sad beginning but a story of how they overcame having no team and rebuilding. Of course, this happened before my time, but this is something to see especially for those of you who may have been at Marshall or lived near by or just heard about it.

My dad continues to do well. I know that many of you have heard that he is speaking at Founders Week for Moody. He is not going to be able to go because he is not up to speaking yet. So, maybe next year he will be able to go. Continue to pray for him. He is making good progress but we don't need any set backs.

Well, here it is another week. It is hard to believe that we are about halfway through January. My dad continues to improve. Still doing his cardiac rehab. Each week they give him a little more to do as far as machines are concerned. Our family is very impressed with the people that work at the rehab place. He is in a class where he has to listen to tapes and after that they work on the machines.

We are starting to change our diet and exercise even more. Now that I have two people in my family with heart disease and a line of it in my family, I am watching what I eat. I have been exercising and I have also had a trainer.

I hope and pray that you will continue to pray for my dad as he continues to heal and improve each week.

I hope to have some pictures to put up from Christmas so that you can see our whole family.

Happy New Year! I wanted to give an update on my dad and the ministry of what is going on right now. My dad continues to recover very well. He is in rehab three times a week. He has not come back to work yet because his strength is not where it should be which is understandable. We as a family are starting to learn what to eat and what not to eat. He is on a pretty rigorous diet but it is good for our whole fam.

We had our whole family here for Christmas. It was very nice until christmas night my aunt and cousin came down with the stomach flu and they were stuck in our house. Not good when dad is recovering. Thankfully, with a lot of prayer, we have all avoided the flu so far.

For New Year's Eve we took our staff up to Whitestone Inn near Kingston TN. What a beautiful place. It is a bed and breakfast that is right on a lake. The rooms are beautiful and spacious. The food is wornderful. The bset I have ever had. Anyways, we had a fun weekend.

At our office, we made it through December. What a month of letters and orders going out! Right now we are airing again our Islam series because it is so relevant with what is going on in the middle east and with Iraq. I hope that you will watch and continue to support our ministry as my dad is out and recouperating.

We have many new things planned for this year! I hope that you will continue to pray for us as we go throughout this year!
