Readers are Leaders-Beno's Books

This is one of the last three books that I have read. I bought this book at Dulles Airport, while on a flight back from Washington, D.C. .

This book was written by David Mendell who is a reporter for the Chicago Tribune, as he followed Barack through his first Senate Campaigns. He does a good job in giving you insight as to who Barack is and what drives him. Clearly you understand and see how important Michelle is to his development and his efforts to eventually succeed in his political career.

I recommend this book.

Cruising Together

This is the design that I came up with for our Family Reunion Cruise in July. My boy Truth drew the cruise ship for me.

Go Shorty It's My Birthday!!!

On May 15th, I celebrated my 35th B-day. When I left work, I went to UNM's Baseball field to watch the High School Baseball Championship Games.

Went to Zia's with my wife and two good friends.

Next day went to a picnic and then to watch some more baseball.

Sunday, went to church and then watched Boston get dropped by the Magic, which I kinda knew would happen.

Archie Gilbert Breaks Out

By Bob Hards / Midland RockHounds

With Corey Wimberly sidelined, the role of lead-off batter for the RockHounds has gone to Archie Gilbert. Turns out he's a method actor and is absorbed in the role.

In the first inning, Archie singled to left, extending his hit streak to eight games, and he was just getting warmed up. He walked and stole a base in the third ... walked and scored in the fifth .... drove an RBI double to left-center in the sixth ... then capped the RockHounds scoring with his first home run at the Double-A level, a two-run laster into the left field bullpen.
Archie, the lead-off batter, lit the fuse, and the 'Hounds exploded. Chris Carter hit his second home run, part of a 4-for-5 night. The big guy scored twice, drove in his 22nd and 23rd runs, and stole a base for good measure.

Danny Putnam continues to simply abuse the baseball, going 2-for-2 with two walks, a double, an RBI and a stolen base. In his last 13 games, "Putt" has put up a half-season's worth of offense ... a good half-season for a lot of players. In those 13 games, Danny is hitting .429 (24-for-56), with four doubles, five home runs, 17 RBI, 18 runs scored, eight walks, seven K's and two stolen bases!

Matt Sulentic, who starred at Hillcrest High School in Dallas, went 3-for-4, and his home run in the third inning gave the RockHounds the lead for good. Matt, who also has an 8-game hit streak, had a pair of RBI and a steal on the night.

Graham Godfrey turned in his second consecutive quality start, tossing 6.0 innings and allowing one run on four hits. In his last two outings (both against the Missions), Graham has allowed on run on seven hits in 12.0 innings, striking out nine and walking three.

Mike Benacka and former TCU star Sam Demel have been brilliant out of the bullpen. Mike went 2.0 innings and Sam pitched the ninth Friday. Benacka's ERA is now 1.26 and Demel is at 1.17.

In the first five games of the home stand, the RockHounds have now scored 50 runs, taking 4-of-5 games. Frisco was also a winner (9-3 at home over Corpus Christi), so the 'Hounds lead the RoughRiders by three games and have extended their lead to five over Corpus and six over San Antonio (see above).

Beno's Pick for 2009 NBA MVP

There is no doubt that this is still the best player in the NBA today. I am not taking anything from Lebron, Chris Paul, Paul Pierce, Shaq, and everybody else, but there is no one who takes a fade away jumper better! LOL. Kobe has stepped his game up and made the Lakers better all around and plus he continues to dominate and take control when the game is on the line.

For 2009, I just do not see this trophy going to anyone else.

Lord Help Me on the Keys! LOL

Last Wednesday, I went to my boy's Church for Bible Study. And as I was sitting there, the Pastor began talking about their need for a piano player and said that he had a vision that God was going to send them one real soon. Then he looked at me! He asked me if I could play the piano, and I replied, "I don't think I play well enough for the Church." But I told him, "You never know, maybe the Lord will bless me to play when I wake up tomorrow." (Thank you Lord, for waking me up the next day and since then. : ) )

I ended up taking the Hymnal home and calling one of my good friends Ron P. and asked him for his advice. He gave me some advice and encouragement. Since then, I have been praying, practicing and learning more about the keyboard. I would love to be able to fill in and play the piano in church. But I know, that it won't come without being willing to put in some work.

I just had to share the story, because I use the above picture to help me visualize playing chords.
So pray for me, that if it is meant for me to play the keys for the Lord, that I will be able to do it, and fast. LOL.
