  Raising awareness regarding cystic fibrosis 

  

  Back in September I/we asked you to reach out to your senators in support of the Newborn Screening Save Lives Reauthorization Act.

  I/We are thrilled to announce this bill passed the Senate and was signed into law by President Obama. Passage of this critical legislation would not have been possible without advocates like you.

  We are so proud of the amazing advocacy work accomplished by the CF community. We look forward to working with you in the new year to add tomorrows to the lives of those with CF.

  Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

  Ludwig van Beethoven 

  Although his exact date of birth is uncertain, Beethoven was baptized on December 17, 1770.

  Since as a matter of law and custom, babies were baptized within 24 hours of birth, December 16 is his most likely birthdate. However, Beethoven himself mistakenly believed that he was born two years later, in 1772, and he stubbornly insisted on the incorrect date even when presented with official papers that proved beyond any reasonable doubt that 1770 was his true birth year.

  Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 

  Born: Salzburg, January 27, 1756,   Died: Vienna, December 5, 1791

  

  At the age of four he could learn a piece of music in half an hour. At five he was playing the clavier incredibly well. At six he began composing, writing his first symphonies at the age of eight. He was constantly traveling all over Europe with his father, Leopold Mozart (1719-1787), a violinist, minor composer and Vice-Kapellmeister at the court of the Archbishop of Salzburg.

  The influence of Mozart on the composers that followed cannot be emphasized too strongly. He was idolized by such late nineteenth century composers as Richard Wagner and Peter Tchaikovsky; and his music came to influence the neo-classical compositions ofIgor Stravinsky and Sergei Prokofiev in the twentieth century.

  A strong message… 

  was heard last night at the Act Like Men Conference in Fort Worth. And, I might add, this is not just to men but the body of Christ, His Church. The Scripture used is from 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 where Paul says…Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.

  I added several other Scriptures to this message, Romans 13:11-14 and Luke 21:34-36. You will notice a theme that is coming forth in these last days, wake up, get right with God, be alert and PRAY! We started a prayer and study group at our office and prayer has been the main ingredient and getting back to the foundational value of prayer which is simply communing with God as Jesus taught is exemplified in John chapter 17!

  A special thank you 

  This is one of my favorite pictures, a greeting card sent from my Uncle Vernon in WWII to his wife and my Aunt Estella. I really miss his insight and wisdom, especially as he stepped in and took the place of being a Dad to me. They didn’t have any kids of their own and Mom said that after helping raise me in those early years they decided that they for sure would never have any.

  Thank you Uncle Vernon and all veterans for your service to our country!

  Good article from Texas Association of Realtor’s for Consumers 

  Hey, Internet, why are you such a tease?

  I admit it … I got sucked in.

  I was poking around on Zillow when a photo of a beautiful bathroom caught my attention. A little tag at the top said, “Estimate: $15,500.”

  Wow! I was instantly transported to daydream mode, imagining this stunning bathroom in my home.

  Then, like a needle scratching across a record, a user comment below the photo jerked me back to reality. “Lots o’ luck,” said this person, identifying him or herself as a remodeling professional. The remodeler projected that the cost was off by at least 100%. Another commenter pegged the price at about $60,000.

  Daydream over.

  I should’ve known better. Zillow is an interesting website. But I know their “zestimates” for home values are all over the place, often wrong by 20% or more. I’ve seen them designate the University of Texas as a nearby neighborhood to Lakeway. (Hey, it’s only about a seven-hour walk!)

  Still, for a second there, I thought I could update my 1960s-era bathroom into a modern dream bathroom for a quarter of the real cost.

  In the future, if I want to know what a bathroom remodel will set me back, I’ll ask a contractor. Just like when I’m ready to sell my home and want to know what it’s worth—or I’m looking to buy and need to know if one neighborhood is near another—I’ll contact an expert who really knows what’s going on … I’ll talk to a Texas REALTOR®.
