Kennady’s Asleep
It is 10:31pm on Sunday night and I am sitting in a very narrow recliner at the Children’s Hospital in Austin, TX. My daughter, Kennady, is getting a sleep study done to see if she has sleep apnea (sp?) or other sleeping problems. As I see her sleep, it amazes me that she has survived this long. She struggles with each breath. I never realized her sleeping problems because we always put her to sleep and leave her in peace.
Before the nurse left the room, he said that her carbon dioxide reading should not get above 53 or they will have to give her “assistance”. Well, it is approaching 70. He called the doctor and they are trying to figure out the best method of treatment.
So, I guess we are introduced to another hurdle in the life and times of Kennady. Just thought I would let you in on it.

PSM Playground!
We are researching our Playground options. Erica has nominated herself as our official rep with the vendors. She has met and talked with about 5 or 6 different playground companies. The quotes and ideas are flooding in.
The bottomline is that our facility is perfect for a beautiful and FUN playground. Those that have come out here have said that our location is great. We want to create a playground that is exciting and safe. We don’t want to go half way. So, we are calling on the “saints” of PSM to pitch in and help out. There were be some more construction days for us to put in labor, but the main thing will be for financial support. As soon as the final numbers and schedules come out, we will post them.
As TD Jakes would say, “Get READY, Get READY, Get READY!!!!!”

ps. Jude had his fourth birthday party on Sunday evening; when his guests started arriving, he was telling them all that his name was TD Jakes. I have no idea where this came from.
Jonnie Wilson
Friday, I went to a special luncheon honoring several women from Texas State. I was invited by Jonnie Wilson, who was one of 8 honorees. The president of the University was there, the mayor (both of whom are women). It was a huge deal!
I am so proud and honored to know Jonnie Wilson. I love her because
- she loves God
- she serves God
- she loves diversity
- she is a wonderful mother (and Grandmother)
- she is a hard worker
- she has overcome a stroke, severe asthma, and who knows what else
- she has a master’s degree
- she works at Texas State
- She loves me and my family

Kennady Speaks
Kennady said her first official word and it was Spanish. It is a good thing she is surrounded at church with all those Spanish speakers!
My parents took her on a special trip to Sesame Street at the Erwin Center. They were on the first row and interacted with many different characters. At one point, Rosita had the whole crowd learn ‘hola!’ When she asked the crowd to say hola, Kennady said it clearly and distinctly. My parents were shocked.
So, if you want to talk with Kennady, you need to learn Spanish and talk to her about Elmo. This will get her warmed up! May this just be the beginning.

For those of you that have not met Kennady, she has a condition called Alobar Holoprosencephaly.
Here We Go!
Message for MYCHURCH:
John Ragsdale spoke Saturday night that we need to “step into the river”. Though it might be rushing water, it will part when the ‘priests’ step in.
So, we are renting Hays Performing Arts center March 23, 2008 11am for our Easter Service!
We are creating more seats at the table. We want to serve the bread of life to as many as we can.
We need your help in Inviting, Preparing, and Presenting the BREAD of LIFE!
This weekend we had 667 people worship with us. The Hays Performing Arts Center holds 985. Therefore, we are looking for 400 hungry people. LETS DO IT!
