Prayers still needed...
Thanks to those of you who have sent emails asking about Max. I am posting a link to the blog his aunt is using to keep everyone updated.
http://julian-family.blogspot.com/Please continue to keep Max, Kelly and John, as well as their families, in your prayers. God's power is awesome and all things are possible through Him. I am reminded of that every time I look at my sweet daughter!
Prayer Request
Urgent prayer needed for Max Julian, born August 22, 2006. Max has suffered some respiratory distress and seizures. They will be doing a CAT scan this morning to see if there has been any brain damage as a result. Max is the newborn son of John and Kelly Julian. Please prayer for Max and for strength for his family.
13 Days, 21 Hours & 30 Minutes
I'm starting to get really pumped up about football season. I found these cool shoes that I
really
want.
I also really want this watch. I need a watch; mine broke, and I have been without a good six months.
I have also been looking for a new Razorback purse but can't decide which one I like best.
Wendy wants to redo her dorm room next year. She is already planning on doing it in Razorbacks. This set would be perfect; however, it is a little pricey.
We did manage to get her this toothbrush to take back to college with her! Oh, by the way, her roomate is a big Longhorn fan.
Experimenting
I can't wait...
Countdown to Hog Ball:

The "Voice of the Razorbacks"
Unless you have lived in Arkansas, it is hard to understand what this week has been like after learning of the death of sportscaster Paul Eells. Most everyone in the state is a Razorback fan. We tend to be possessive of anything having to do with the Hogs and that includes the “voice of the Razorbacks.” Paul’s association with the Hogs meant he was a part of the collective family of Razorback fans. Because of that, many of us lost a part of our family on Monday night. I have seen and heard more grown men break down into tears than I have ever seen before. The tributes have been amazing. The interesting thing is that none of them has to do with Paul the sportscaster; they are all about Paul the giving, caring, selfless person. One of the best stories I heard was from Paul’s longtime friend Harry King. King related about golfing with Paul one afternoon. As he usually did, King put his keys and wedding ring into his pocket before beginning play. When they finished for the day, King pulled out his keys but no ring. Thinking it fell out when he took out his keys, King and Paul looked around for it for quite a while before King finally gave up and told Paul to forget it; he was not even sure that he lost it around that last hole. King related how he went home and told his wife about losing the ring and they decided to go back and look some more. Even though about 45 minutes had passed when they got back up there, they found Paul on his hands and knees still looking for the ring.
The funeral will be today at the Robinson Convention Center. They are prepared for a crowd of 3,500 people. They are blocking off a 6-block area around the center. State flags are flying at half staff upon decree from the governor. I have been out this morning and seen many flying their Razorback flags on their cars and numerous people wearing Razorback or red shirts to honor Paul in their own way. Surely, Paul Eells had a major impact on the state of Arkansas. However, what has been made plain is the things that made Paul Eells so special are the everyday things that any of us can do: helping a friend look for a ring, taking the time to stop and help two women who were broken down on the side of a road coming back from Fayetteville in cold, rainy weather, giving a homeless man $5, etc. People are remembering these things just as much if nor more than “Paul’s Calls.”
Terry's Site
My husband has recently been working on a website. If you are interested in Route 66, he has posted some pictures from our latest trip down 66 that we took this past May. There are some other more personal links, such as pictures of our daughter's 16th birthday party and an account of "the trip of '03," or as I refer to it, "the dream vacation that turned into a nightmare." He plans to finish out this trip, whereas I had planned to combine all our trips into one look at 66. The way these 2 doctorate courses are going, he will have his finished long before I get out of Illinois!
Anyway, check him out at...
