Ah-ha! That Rusty Andrews! A Toast to his genius!
I have been thinking of the luck of things, and just this morning while getting caffeinated, I came across this in the Times ---
A recent study conducted by Harvard University found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year.
Another study by the American Medical Association found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.
This means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon.
Kind Of Makes You Proud To Be An American.

And now…Some nice advice I’m passing on from Anthony Robbins
June 27, 2008
I don't know the motivational speaker, Anthony Robbins, but I received one of those circulating emails that if I don't pass it on, insidiousness will ensue.
So, I figured I would pass on peace and love and harmony by sharing these 21 comments from the smiling man with very large
teeth! He seems like a good egg to me! And, in the process, I am to receive lots of wonderful surprises and love. Which I already have every day
with all the good God stuff going on, but who wants to invite insidiousness? Not me! Not you!
By the way, I very much appreciate #21 on the list. Ah, replenishing the soul in solitude. I always end up giggling somehow.
Love,
Sara

ANOTHER Article about last night’s San Angelo “Music For Life” event
June 26, 2008
By Maggie Hyde
Midland Reporter-Telegram
Published: Thursday, June 26, 2008 2:40 PM CDT
At a concert inside the First United Methodist Church of San Angelo Wednesday night, Singer-Songwriter Sara Hickman held her guitar onstage, swaying, and singing a song called “We are Each other’s Angels.” The audience gladly sang along, giving the impression of a Christian worship service or youth rally.
But these concerts are bringing more than fellowship and music across the State of Texas in their 12-month tour. They are bringing dialogue.
The Music for Life Concert Tour plans to visit twelve Texas cities in twelve months, with the goal of encouraging and facilitating dialogue on the death penalty. It is sponsored by the Texas Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty and was co-hosted by the Catholic Diocese of San Angelo Criminal Justice Ministry. So far, they have visited Austin, Huntsville, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Houston, Beaumont El Paso and Denton.
The concert, besides performances by Sara Hickman and Grammy nominated San Angelo local artist Cindy Jordan, featured talks by Fr. Mark Miller C.PP.S. of Odessa and Lupe and Emma Fabela. The Fabela family, also of Odessa, spoke of their opposition to the death penalty, especially after the killing of their teenage son eleven years ago.
Deacon Bob Leibrecht, of St. Stepen’s Church in Midland, is the San Angelo Diocese Director for Criminal Justice Ministry. Leibrecht said he ministers to all those who are incarcerated, and he feels that discussion on the death penalty is particularly important in a Christian and community setting.
“Only He gives life,” Leibrecht said. “Only He takes life.”
He said that the death penalty not only takes away the opportunity for someone to make amends for what they had done but violated the true meaning of Christian justice, which is to restore.
St. Ann’s Church of Midland Director of Religious Education Carol Ann Hunt also thought that the concert and discussion were an encouraging experience.
"It’s nice to know that there are other people in the San Angelo area that feel the same way,” she said.
