  My Mom

as many of you know my mom has been battling cancer (well, she still is) anyway, my step-dad works for Potlatch in Brainerd MN and they are closing that plant in less than 60 days... They are going to be over 600 people looking for work. I am not sure how or if this will affect her treatment. I will keep you all posted.

by the way Johnny Edwards had a girl yesterday! (Okay his wife did )

Good and bad news. I'll pray for your Mom and Step-dad.

Ya... My Grandfather used to work in the Iron ore industry, I think he retired before that went bust (he died before I was born) but ya, it's all going down the crapper

I will continue to pray for your Mom and will add your step-dad to my prayers. It is about time North Americans realized the true importance of jobs in home land.

Petra w/ Greg X Volz was classic, but Petra now is a prime example of what is wrong w/ "Christian" rock. DA is a prime example of what is right w/ Christian rock, but nobody knows who they are. Just a sad commentary...
