THANK YOU SAN ANTONIO!!!!!!!!! (and Austin, and Kerrville, and Ingram, and Boerne, and Fair Oaks Ranch). What an amazing night...so much love. Chuck and I are blessed, blessed, blessed. We are loving all of you right back!

Okay, how to explain the evening?? I'll just take it chronologically...I walked into the Blue Cactus around 6:15 and it was already filled with friends...from church, camp, work, life! The food was DELICIOUS. By the time the music started, it was standing room only. The seating inside AND outside was filled! The Notorious Sinners (John, Jeff, Steve "Sin", Michael)opened...WOW. Wow, wow, wow. They ROCKED. (I know this full well, as my table was right by the stage.) Seriously, the boys were in rare form. Then Ruben V and his band (Val, Onel, Laurence) did their thang...how to describe their music? Joyfully bluesy. Ruben V is amazing! If you've never experienced him live...treat yourself. Go...be blessed! Finally, one of our favorite folks ever...Chris Taylor, sang for Chuck. It was one huge love fest for Chuck!

Thank you, Ruben for sharing your idea...calling John Condit at 2 in the morning..."Hey, John. I have an idea. Let's do a benefit for Chuck." THANK YOU.

Then there was the JAR. The JAR o' love money. I have not finished counting...I know everyone's anxious to know how much you raised. Janie and Charlotte were too cute...running around collecting money. Leslie provided "Chuck Love " sheets...for people to send get-well messages. Tod and Nicole sold T-shirts...way cool t-shirts designed by Mr. Davis! Who organized this thing? It was just incredible!

Friends, we love you. I brought all your love back to Dallas and poured it all over Chuck. Speaking of Chuck, he is doing quite well. His potassium levels are going down (praise God), his lungs are stable (praise God), and his swelling is going down.

To God be the glory, great things He hath done!
