Rick Shaw in Alaska

Hey Everyone. Rick Shaw is a commercial pilot who’s part of the TWM family. He recently flew to Sitka, Alaska and sent me these pictures. If anyone else has had a neat trip, please send us some pics and we’ll upload them to our blog. Paul and Becca are scheduled to return from California on Friday, so by next week or the week after, we should be able to show everyone some nice pics from their trip.

Saturday Golf Group

Hello to all. One of my passions is golf and I will likely be blogging about my Saturday golf rounds frequently. Almost every Saturday (except football season), I play with a group of members at BlackHorse Golf Club in NW Houston -- and we have a great time "hacking" it around the course. Today I shot 91, but had two birdies in the round... Interestingly enough, we had two eagles on the same par 4 out of our group of 11 men -- congrats to Allen Frank and Greg Davis!!!

Congratulations to Paul and Becca Hamilton

Hey Everyone, this is Steve again. For those of you who may not know, Paul married Becca Miller this past Monday, July 7th, in Jamaica. They are also going to take a "road trip" up the coast of California, so they should have some neat things to share with us next month about all their travels.

Technology and a book recommendation

Hi Folks, this is Steve. Well, after Ryan taught me the difference between a "post" and a "comment" on a blog, I'm trying to "post" this in the right place. If you wander around the "comments" area, you'll see the same message!

I just read a book that is one of the best I've ever read (and that's a lot of books, since I'm 57!). This book answers, better than anything I've read, some of the key philosophical and spiritual questions that most humans ask themselves at one or more points in their lives.

I strongly encourage you to read "The Shack" by William P. Young, and visit his site www.theshackbook.com. If you've ever asked yourself, "How could a good God allow evil, pain and suffering?" then this book will be a breath of fresh air for you.

And the book is not just for Christians. There are tremendous insights into topics like how to improve your relationships with family and friends and why and how you should forgive.

Not only does the book have amazing insights, Mr. Young's writing style is world class.

Please let me know your opinions once you've read the book.
