Have had some good runs in the June heat..........actually ran at Bachman Lake in Dallas after dropping a friend off at the airport. I enjoy taking the opportunity to run in various locations when I'm on the road. Bachman Lake is one of my favorite places in the Dallas area..........can be kind of exciting as planes from Love Field fly over.........you can see all the stuff under the plane very clearly.........always glad they keep flying.

Still counting down for launch day for the Chapel of Saints Peter and Paul...........generous pledges continue to flow in and we are right at $1,000,000 in new or continuing pledges with about $600,000 to go for the Chapel to be fully funded as we begin construction........exciting stuff!!!!!!

THANKS AGAIN TO THE REMARKABLY GENEROUS PEOPLE OF THE CATHEDRAL OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION WHO ARE MAKING THIS CHAPEL HAPPEN!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
