HFD!

Happy Father's Day.

Make the most of it and enjoy life. Write a letter to your children and seal it with a bag of love.

Excitement!!

Has there ever been a time when you were more excited for someone else than you were for yourself? Well, that occurred to me two days ago.

My sister went to a presentation by President Obama. As she was towards the end of the line in a standing room only crowd, she figured that she would only catch a glimpse of the motorcade and surely would not see the President well from the audience. But, little did she know that God's favor was in order. She and her friend were asked to take seats on the platform. She sat in the second row. What a wonderful view she had!

This was awesome as she was not only able to see him upfront and nearly able to reach out and touch him, but is also in many of the media shots. I love it!

Needless to say, when this occurred all I could do was scream in the car! It was like that Michael Jackson effect. People scream even when he isn't in front of them. Or, it could be the Jesus effect. People screamed for him miles away. I am so excited all I can do is keep laughing.

This was extremely special as she was motivated to participate in the health care forum and stays on the mailing list. She forwards the emails we receive from the Health Department and is awaiting another community forum call.

Any yet, God's favor shows.

I would just like to thank the hostess and security as well as the President for allowing her to experience such a wonderful occasion.

Her daughter was scheduled to attend the inauguration, but wasn't able. Events like this will serve as fillers for that. I can't wait for my niece to meet him.
