Shhh....

It seems that Benny is telling us to keep his affection for Michelle, or "Shell" as he likes to yell in full voice, under wraps from his STL girlfriends. He is so busted!

We were blessed to spend the weekend back in CO. Thanks to the Shaffer's and Stewart's for pulling together the homecoming party.

Of course the downside of staying with the Shaffers is that G usually comes back with the notion that Benny needs a dog. When she's ready to patrol the yard for landmines-that's when I'll go to the pound. Somehow, I think that's a ways off.

Amanda takes care of Benny during the daylight hours. One curiosity I have had for quite awhile is the catchy tune that plays on her phone when she gets a call. I finally got the name of it, downloaded it, and am posting the link for the video below. Its named: These Words (I Love You, I Love You, I Love You), which is quite appropriate for us guys here at the homestead when thinking about MaMa. We can't wait to reunite in Denver verrry soon. Time to also catch up with good friends, and stock up on some Broncos gear for Benny.

Here's another picture of Benny and MaMa. She has been gone for 12 hours and miss her already.

Will they emerge from this experience radically changed people? For many, the chance to meet Oprah and be on her show has meant a radical change (think of Dr Phil, Bob Greene, Suze Orman. Even Geri had a friends wife that was on the show last week). For Randy, Pam and Crista a change has already taken place (and still is, I'm sure) and they are on a mission.

If you want to see how God REALLY works, record the Oprah Show on Friday. Hopefully this Oprah exposure is a conduit to radically change many little lives around the globe. You can see the link below, or click on the Touch A Life button at the right.

...And I Thought Benny Was A Big Kiddo!

He is called "Super Tonio," and at a whopping birth weight of 14.5 pounds, the little fellow is causing a sensation in the Mexican resort of Cancun.
