Finances For Children & Teens

I have been involved with Crown Financial Ministries for over 10 years. Crown has some incredible tools to help people learn Biblical Financial Principals. Since many of our friends have children & teens I wanted to share a tool available on Crown's website. Click Finances For Children & Teens to get a free copy of this brochure.

The beauty that matters is always on the inside

The moment the reality show's audience and judging panel saw the small, shy, middle-aged woman, they started to smirk. When she said she wanted a professional singing career to equal that of Elaine Paige, the camera showed audience members rolling their eyes in disbelief. They scoffed when she told Simon Cowell, one of the judges, how she'd reached her forties without managing to develop a singing career because she hadn't had the opportunity. Another judge, Piers Morgan, later wrote on his blog that, just before she launched into I Dreamed a Dream, the 3000-strong audience in Glasgow was laughing and the three judges were suppressing chuckles.

It was rude and cruel and arrogant. Susan Boyle from Blackburn, West Lothian, was presumed to be a buffoon. But why?

Fort Worth Botanical Gardens

Mary and I spent Saturday afternoon at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens. Thought others might be interested in the pictures. Feel free to ignore them...my feelings will not be hurt (but Mary will be devastated).

Diners, Drive-ins and Dives...coming to our favorite 5 star gas station

Diners, Drive-ins and Dives recently filmed at the Chef Point Cafe in Watauga, TX. If you live in Fort Worth you should already know this place. If you have visited us we have probably taken you there. It is my second favorite place to take tourists (Babes Chicken Dinner House is #1).

This episode will air on Monday, April 6th on the Food Network. Don't miss it (and have sympathy on us folks that do not have cable).
