It seems more and more that we are living in a land of paradoxes. While we are all the benificiaries of sacrifices made for the foundations laid by which we enjoy the Liberties and Freedoms in our Nation, many would disregard the very roots of those foundations.

The earth is shaking.
In January, hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives when the nation of Haiti was shaken by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake. Close to a million people were left homeless. Only a few weeks later, an astounding 8.8 quake shook the nation of Chile. The Chilean quake was so powerful that scientists estimate it moved the earth’s axis…
My heart is heavy for my city, Houston. It’s hard to believe that only around 150,000 in a city of a few million, cared enough to vote their convictions during our recent Mayoral and City Council runoff elections, with so much at stake.
