Nobles & Ladies, 

               I was sitting at home thinking about my Mother, Sarah Redd on Mother’s Day. I realized our articles needed to be in by tomorrow May 10, 2010. I could here Mother saying, “you need to get your article in, you know tomorrow is the deadline.” Well, I jumped up, went straight into the computer room and, without hesitating, began writing the June article. As I was sitting down to write, it came to me that I would start off by writing about Mother, Mom, Mama, Grandma, Great-grandma, etc. you get the picture. I know you heard it before, so this is probably not the last time you will hear or read these words: my mom was the greatest mom in the world. You see Mother is no longer with us, but has traveled on to be with Jesus on August 15, 2004.  So now, when Mother tells me to do something, I do it, no questions asked.  Because when I see Mother again, I want her to have a big smile on her face. Mother would say, “enough about me get on with it.”  But don’t forget to tell your mother how much you love her; whether she is here with us or with Jesus, I am sure she can hear you, where ever she is at. I would tell her, “I love you Mother” and she would respond, “I love you and you be a good son.”
            I want thank all the kids who came out and weathered the rain during the fishing rodeo. They are true fishing pros. We were worried about the lightening and thunder, but we ask for a little divine intervention.  Rain came but there wasn’t any thunder and lightening. Thank you, Lord for the help
            Lady Marsha and I want to thank Illustrious Sir Joe Watson and Lady Linda for Great weekend. All the counterparts from Alee, Al Hambra, Hasan and Yarrab Shrines talked about how much,we made them feel at home and how much they enjoyed the Potentate’s weekend. 
            Please keep our Sick, Distress, Widows and our Nobles and their Ladies who are not able to get out in your prayers. Please also remember our children who are receiving care at all of our 22 hospitals and all of our military men and women at home and abroad.
A! S! A! P! Always Say A Prayer.
