Visita de 'Impacto'

Mi amiguita, Satcha, was in the metroplex for few hours today. She had a layover at DFW on her way to our dear alma mater Angelo State University for a journalism conference. JG and I were fortunate to visit with her over a late lunch, estilo mexicanp- de ricos tacos al pastor, tamales, y un sope. It was a pleasure to see Satcha despite the short time.





I met Satcha during my early days at ASU many moons ago. Wow, has it been 9 years already?

You know, I was dying to tell my all students that I was going to see Satcha for a couple of hours, but i knew it would cause and uproar...I didn't want to hear suggestions, which my children are ever so generously giving them. I could just hear them...
"Why doesn't she come see us?" Por que no viene?
"Can we go too, like a field trip?" Usted nos puede llevar?
"Did you say she enjoys reading to children?"
No me conteni del secreto...le dije a una niña. She wrote a note for Satcha during recess, which by the way I forgot on my desk...I hope my student did not notice I left it!

Bree's baptism



It's such an honor to be chosen to be a godmother. It is an awesome responsibility and feeling! As we go through our journey in life, we are here to help guide the child of God to become a faithful and practicing Catholic. I honestly believe that her parents will have no problem with teaching Bree to be a wonderful Christian. But just in case they slack off, we are here to help! 

Isaiah's baptism

Congratulations Isaiah! 
Scott and Sonia, who currently live in Georgia, took this opportunity while visiting family in Texas to baptize their son Isaiah. I was fortunate to witness this special day with Sonia and her family. The last time I had visited with Sonia was during a business trip here in Texas in April of 2006.  It was great to finally meet Isaiah which will soon turn 1 year old!
