Congrats Brad! Now Get To Work!

This past Friday, my good friend Brad Hughes graduated from Southern Seminary and will be leaving for Georgia to run for the U.S. House of Representatives for the 2^nd Congressional District (he is more widely known as the editor-in-chief at P&P). His roommate and long-time friend James Risner is going to accompany Brad this summer and will assist in his campaign. The big day is November 7, so there is a lot of work to do. Rumor has it that Brad has put off his campaign work until the end of American Idol :) Consequently, he won't be leaving until Thursday. If you have any campaign advice, leave a comment as I plan on being at his apartment tonight to watch the competition with he and others who know way more about it than I do.

On a more serious note, Brad mentioned that he will be updating all of us who are rooting for him on his blog a couple of times during the week. I must say that I will miss Brad as he has become a dear brother to me over the past year, but I know that the Lord has great things in store for him in the future. Please keep him in your prayers as he takes on what could possibly be the greatest challenge of his life.

Now to the American Idol . . . Let the guy from Alabama who has gray hair win. What' s his name again? (By the way, the nerd with the pen at the baseball stadium is me; the other guy is Brad.)
