WRC Annual Fundraising Banquet...guest speaker Alan Keyes

On Thursday The Women's Resource Center of the Gulf Coast will be having
their annual fund raising banquet.

I wanted to talk about it because my wife is the Executive Director there
and I am so proud of her and the work that the Center accomplishes.

If you are close to the Biloxi Area and would like to hear Alan Keyes speak
please give Carrie a call or send her an email. wrcenter@bellsouth.net
This is a fundraising event, so you will get to hear Alan Keyes who I think
is one of the best speakers in America when it comes to conservative topics
and you will also get to hear about the awesome impact the WRC has had on
the Mississippi Gulf Coast. They are expecting close to 500 in attendance
which is incredible when you consider that last year they only had 360. The
speaker last year was Cal Thomas and the event raised close to $90K. I
think that their annual budget is more than that and it would be incredible
if they were able to raise over $100K this year!

By the way Alan Keyes announced a few weeks ago that he is running for
President. What an opportunity for you if you are available.

Now about Carrie. Where do I start? I don't think there is a more perfect
person out there. She is the perfect wife, perfect mother and her passion
is the WRC. While she is paid for 30hours a week she regularly puts in 60
hours. When we were back in Tampa from 1992-1997 she had told me that she
felt that her calling was to work with Crisis Pregnancy Centers. Many years
passed by and the opportunity never presented itself until around 2001 when
the WRC was founded and Carrie started working with this ministry. There is
an incredible need out there for the mothers who eperience unplanned
pregnancies. It has grown over the years and this past month was the busiest
month they have had to date. This has been a very difficult year for Carrie
as I have been gone since April and there has been much that has happened at
the ministry itself. But as Carrie knows this is God's ministry and somehow
He keeps allowing it to grow and taking them over the next mountain.

Well I will get off my soap box now.

Carrie, I want you and everyone else to know how proud I am of you for
everything. How you have dealt with this deployment, your grace when going
through the fire and how you keep me energized each day here in Afghanistan.

I love you babe!
