No mail from St. Louis today.  Its 20 miles away how can it take this long to get a letter!  They said the decision was made Thursday, so if they mailed it that day, we should have gotten it the following day, Friday.  If it was mailed Friday then we should have gotten it today, Saturday.  Oh well.  This could be a good thing.  If it was a very ( Read more... )

This is pretty loose yet, but I thought about it when I was listening to the radio in the car yesterday.

Illegal immigration via visa over-stays, “reconquistas”, or whoever-- they are here.  The Catholic Church is assisting them to make them allowed to come here and/or leave on their whim.  It really destroys the entity of our country and creates a ( Read more... )

Regent accepted Isaac by email on March 23.  It has now been 5 days and no offical letter!  We had Appalachian's official letter the the day after their email.  Then the day after that we received a lether portfolio.  So why has it been 5 days and NOTHING!
