    Sorry for taking so long to post . . .

    My sincerest apologies for taking so long to write again. When we switched to the other hotel in DC, I didn't want to pay for internet -- so I just took a week off. I got back home, and was too overwhelmed to write.

    But I'm back, for now.

    Summation of DC trip: I saw the next Republican President of the United States, Mitt Romney, respectfully bow out of the race, much like Reagan in 1976; I heard Vice President Cheney and President Bush finalize their legacies as one of the greatest duos to ever run the executive branch; I waved signs and warmly received Gov. Mike Huckabee, who, better than any man in politics today, understands the importance of faith in the public eye; I joined with hundreds of others in booing our (presumptive) nominee, John McCain; I toured the White House, the House of Representatives, the National Archives, several of the Smithsonian Museums, and the National Holocaust Museum; I participated in Ash Wednesday Choral Evensong at Washington National Cathedral; I got hit by a car; I joined the NRA; I bought an excellent pair of GOP Elephant cuff links; and lost a button on my new coat. Quite a trip, huh?

    I look forward to seeing Gov. Huckabee on Wednesday at a rally in Plano, as he fights to win Texas and prevent John McCain from stealing the GOP nomination.

    On a couple of personal notes, I ask your prayers as doctors continue to find out why I've been experiencing chronic fatigue, a depressed appetite, and slowed reaction times.

    Also, my best friend bought a ring today to propose to his longtime girlfriend. I'm so proud of him, and can't wait to be his best man.

    Praying that this Lenten Season, His Peace would be yours,
