Bennett is doing good. He had basketball practice at 9:30 a.m this morning.  He raked leaves with Hamilton and made a fort. Hamilton thought it was pretty cool. The leaves are beautiful as they are falling.

Bennett was interviewed by Jim Muir, publisher of SI sports connection magazine a couple weeks ago.   Jim is doing an article about Bennett being named on the So IL Jr. High All Star baseball team in his Nov. magazine. He also is televising one of his stories every Sunday at 12:30 on channel 3.    We thought Bennett was going to be on this Sunday but now we think it’s next Sunday, Nov. 16th at 12:30 p.m. on WSIL (channel 3).

A special prayer request for my sister-in-law who lost her Dad last night with his fight against a brain tumor. My brother is coming home from Iraq. He will not have to go back to Iraq and they live in New Jersey. That is a blessing but I just hate of how many lives are destroyed by this horrible disease.

Praying for all the kids on 9west, they are true heroes. May God bless all of the people affected by cancer, their family and care givers.
