I’ve been a Hayseed Dixie fan for years, ever since hearing them on Rick & Bubba’s “Name that Grass” game. But I’d never seen a video of theirs until this morning:

Thanks to all of you who remembered us in prayer yesterday. Dad’s doing well, and will be going home from the hospital today. He’s got to take it easy for a few days, but by all accounts is doing well.

Interesting fact: Dad went into the hospital yesterday for the first time in his life. He was given his second IV ever - the first occurred about 3 weeks ago when he underwent a stress test. I told him at this rate, his next visit shouldn’t be necessary until he’s 130.

I’m hoping to maintain Dad’s track record in my life. Thank you, Lord, for the blessings of health on both of my parents.

Please allow me to interrupt the overall silence of clanMcGraw.com with a gratuitous Dad brag.

I just got an email from Evangel. It turns out that Caleb’s scores on the SAT test have made him eligible for Duke University’s Talent Identification Program. We learned through Brandon’s experience that it’s a pretty neat organization. Can’t wait to begin taking advantage of it!!

Just got off the phone with Brandon. He was in line to go see the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Sounds like he has had a wonderful time in D.C., and will be raring to go back at the earliest possible time.

Oh, and he saw President Obama. Through the window of the Oval Office.

Awesome.
