- I think we set a record for the number of families that were out today on family trips. It's just that time of year, when families take advantage of the kids being off from school to get away for a few days. Thank God for family trips!
- What a great service we had tonight! Mario Escobedo did a great job teaching from Psalm 1:3. The message he spoke was powerful and so timely! Wow! And the prayer time after the service was beautiful. I heard many comments after the service about how much our people enjoyed the message.

- I'm going to wash my truck this week. (If you were in church tonight, you know what I'm talking about!)
- Have a great week!

My sister-in-law, Sandy, and her six-year-old daughter, Araceli, were in a room across the hall. I hardly slept that night. I would doze off and suddenly wake up to my father crying and calling out my brother’s name. My brother was dead. Osiel had collapsed that morning while his high s
