I have a passion burning a fire within me and that is to live as people who care about one another and their condition. November 1st will be the Love 360 event. May we see the love pour out over this city in such a way it never leaves!

Our senses are being overloaded by the needs of so many attentions again. There is Texas trying to recover from the beat down “Hurricane Ike” just gave it, Wallstreet is reacting to some major bankruptcy notices, we have political forums battling back and forth, and of course there is our own more perceptible daily [...]
