Legislative Action on Trafficking

Hey guys, here is a good story that tells of good progress in Human Trafficking assistance. (Even though it was a long time coming.)

This next link is a editorial by Bob Sanborn that describes the depths of Human Trafficking in Houston. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/editorial/outlook/6132874.html

Mr Sanborn also mentions a bill (SB 89) going to the State Senate. This bill will provide for a state task force that will help in combating human trafficking through Texas as well as providing for public awareness, education and victims assistance.

christmas

the other day i got to visit st. paul cathedral's first advent service of 2008.
there were oh, about a thousand people there...
full choir-adults and kids,
and of course the place is HUGE and breathtakingly beautiful.
we got to sing one christmas carol, 'come o come emmanuel' and the whole time i kept thinking about how badly i want to be back in houston so i can sing christmas carols with my friends at wellspring...and maybe even do a powerpoint with lots of holidays photos. 
can't wait to see you guys...two more weeks! hope you're all doing well :)
