For several days now, we have been monitoring the eroding conditions of the political instability in Honduras. The seriousness of the situation has been dwarfed by the media’s coverage of the Michael Jackson saga; a sad commentary on our nation’s interests. The Honduran people have demonstrated their desire to hold onto their fragile democracy that has been threatened by corruption within the government and assaulted by outside dictatorships. The word that is being used to describe the current conditions in the country is “volatile.” We continue to watch closely, with great concern, how Honduras will cope with the unsupportive response of the international community and the threats from leftist regimes.

Every once in awhile, I go through a week where something happens that makes a tremendous impression on my mind and my heart. This past week was such a week.

Unless you were sleeping or had your head under a rock, it may also have caught your attention that some very famous people died — some of them quite unexpectedly. Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon died of cancer; Billy Mays, the famous TV infomercial pitch man died of an enlarged heart; one of the most famous artists of the 20^th century, Michael Jackson, died; and from the sports world, pro-bowl quarterback Steve McNair was murdered.
