Allegra -- I am praying for your safety in Iraq.

Thank you and God bless you.

If you ever get to Houston, stop in and see our beautiful Reliant Stadium.

Maybe eventually the team will be worth seeing as well.

But I love my Texans anyway. :-)

What happened to the Texans this year? Y'all swept the Titans in 2004 - I was expecting it again because we stunk. Oh, well. Y'all should trade down and stock up on OL. Sack. Sack. Sack. 3 yard run. Sack. Sack. Sack.

Dear Allegra,

I would love to see the many sights and sounds of Houston including the Stadium but first I guess I would need a Visa to enter the United States or some kind of Immigration Visa without that I would never be able to enter the U.S. even if it is to just visit a relative for some time who lives in the Southern United States.

This brings me to a certain point I would like to make, I hope you won't get upset or mad at me but while I was living in the U.S. from 1998-2002 I had a lot of trouble with U.S. Immigration as a Catholic Christian I find it extremely difficult to understand why I had so much trouble.

Now, the trouble was this whenever I was sponsored for a Visa by an Institution it would never come through even after I hired a well respected Immigration Attorney all that the folks at I.N.S. had to say that it was being processed and this went on for over a year. I still have no idea if that visa came through simply because whenever my attorney made any inquiries she was given the standard response that it was being processed.

Meanwhile, I had some acquaintances in Atlanta who were Hindu and Moslem and had no problem in getting all kinds of visas approved for them by U.S. Immigration as well as Green Card Applications. I got so fed up with the endless wait that I decided to return to India.

This made me feel that in the United States it does not help being a Christian or a Catholic as far as U.S. Immigration is concerned. I was in deep shock whenever Moslem acquaintances from India, Pakistan and Egypt who were living in Atlanta told me that they had no problem whatsoever in getting the necessary visas.

I was never out of status so it really got me depressed even to this day.

Now, however I would love to return to the U.S. and I am only praying and hoping that the Lord shows me a way.

In Jesus and Mary,
