Soldier's Angels - one way to support our soldiers





I had wonderful news last week. I received word from the Soldier's Angels organization that my soldier that I had been writing to last summer had come home from Iraq. With this news, came the chance to volunteer again and write to another soldier whose unit has been held over for at least a month past his going home date.

What is the time commitment and cost to the cause you might ask? You write one or two supportive letters to your soldier every week. In addition, you send him/her a care package a couple of times a month.

Will you ever hear from your soldier? You might not ever hear from him/her. But isn't that the purpose of being an angel, the silent partner in the background, praying or thinking good thoughts for that individual?

If you are interested in this volunteer opportunity, or would like to read more about the organization, please check out this link:

God bless you for taking the time out of your day to read this. Let's hope this war ends soon!

Why I enjoy living in West Houston

Along with all of this commerce comes a diversity of cultures fed by the boom of higher priced energy. Our local economy benefits greatly, since a percentage of these monies winds up back in the community. The industry helps sponsor local activities such as leadership in Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts, Volunteers in Public Schools (VIPS), assisting food pantries and hurricane relief efforts, and benefiting medical charities such as multiple sclerosis.

We have a high interest in educating our children and our community, and put great effort into supporting our local schools and also in building our local park systems.
