Illuminating fun, faith,
family and foolishness.

“Peace, prosperity, liberty and morals
have an intimate connection.”

On the Border
Over the last several weeks you may or may not have been following the Minuteman Projects story about citizen volunteers preparing to patrol the Arizona-Mexico border. If you've been following the story only through the mainstream media (somehow this phrase always makes me think of the natural effects of a college kegger) then you might picture this group as Bubbas in a pick-up trucks hauling long ropes.

If so then you need to read this first person account of the first weekend's action by a flying "Bubba" that was posted by LaShawn Barber today.
