John Connor Brown

If we had known Connor was going to speak in chapel and end his primary school career in such style, we would have scheduled Rose's cataract surgery around such a date.

Connor, you make us proud. Your mom didn't tell it all, but then she doesn't have time to write a book.

You're a good man, Connor Brown. Posted by Picasa

Final Chapter of 6th grade

I will admit that this reporter has fallen behind this week but I'm updating with a report on Connor Brown. Like his brother Reagan it was a very busy and successful week for Connor. He finished his elementary career with all A's for 1st through 6th grades, made a perfect score on the Language Mechanics part of his achievment test and was awarded a Presidential Award for Academic excellence from George Bush. He also competed in the Bible Bee for the intermediate school and finished in the top 10. Today was his last day of elementary and he and his good friend Tanner Dobbs were asked to speak in chapel. He did an excellent job and may give his father some stiff competiton some day. His parents were heard to say they were very proud but not surprised at his strong finish. This reporter hopes that Papa can find a picture to post with this report...way to go J. Connor Brown!!!!

Three New School Records

Bailey Family Blog

Editorial Page

Midland, Texas - Some people say this editor is hard to work for. Is it too much to ask your reporters to be on time and have all their reports perfect the first time? I think not. Therefore when I level criticism at the reporting staff from Midland, faithful readers know that it is not without reason.

A case in point. Several days have passed since Reagan Brown competed in the MCS field day. No one outside the Midland area knows that he set three new school records on that day. If he had just set a new record (for his age group) in the 50 Meter Dash, I would excuse our reporters of their slothfulness. But he also set new school records in the Long Jump and the Obstacle Course.

This young man's body is power packed. He is built for speed. He has demonstrated his hand-eye coordination on the base ball field this year as well. His on base average is about .900 and his speed makes him a dangerous man on the bases. His defensive play is also outstanding. This writer witnessed a game where Reagan threw out a runner at first base from deep in the pocket at third and later threw a one bounce ball to the catcher from center field.

There is more. Reagan competed in the Bible Bowl and received a third place trophy. This allows him to be on the student team that will compete against the faculty of MCS. Teachers beware

With all the accolades he has received, this editor was deeply impress with Reagan's humble attitude. In a phone interview last night, I told Reagan just how proud we all were of him and his accomplishments. To which he replied, "Thanks so much for calling." Then he left to continue the evaluation of his golf game he had just completed with his dad. Posted by Picasa

MCS Student Body President 2006-2007

Midland, TX - May 12, 2006
JC Bailey Family Blog

Editorial Page

Today Bailey Ann Brown, daughter of Tod and Lee Ann Brown, was introduced as the Student Body President of Midland Christian Schools for 2006-07 school year.

The election of Miss Brown was the results of the voting of both the student body and the faculty. For those who heard the speeches of the candidates, there was no surprise in the annoucement. Our reporters all agreed that Bailey's speech was a master piece of both rhetoric and elocution. If that wasn't enough, the stunning beauty of Miss Brown even had the football team holding their breath. It was generally agreed that Miss Brown's beauty is known to those who know her best, as both an outward and inward. A beauty that is not exceeded even by her intellect.

A free press is wonderful, but it is the belief of the editor-in-chief of this blog that all bias should be confessed. This editor admits to having formed an opinion about Bailey Brown just a few minutes after her birth. His evaluation then was "she's perfect......just perfect". I have had no reason to change my mind. Congratulations Bailey. Papa loves you.

Thanks to BandS Supporters

In a recent letter from Ron Brown, head of Agape China, he said, "Thanks for all of your help. You do more for the China Mission than anyone else. I appreciate your love and concern for the poor children of China."

Ron and I both know that it isn't me, it's all the supporters of Body and Soul Ministries that do these good things. We have 150 patients ready for clef lip surgeries in August. These will take place in Mongolia. The good news is that we already have funds in hand to pay for the surgeries. What we are lacking is tavel funds for some of the health care workers. I would like to make it possible for several young nurses to be able to go who need some help with travel expenses.

I want to remind you that BandS Ministries is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation and all of your donations are tax deductible as according to the law. Our address is: 3704 Greenbriar Court, Colleyville, TX 76034.





















One dear lady who helps us on each of our trips to the Philippines is Ethel Paul. This faithful sister is a member of the Legacy Church and spends many hours collecting good quality flat ware. She packages these and I take as many as my weight allowance will allow. She only sends high quality goods and the most common comment I get is, "we could not afford this good ware in the Philippines." Rosalyn and I enjoyed giving to these young brides. Ethel Paul is a lady who helps people and I've known that for many years. Many Filipino's thank you Ethel.
