September 5 - MDA Telethon

Today was Labor Day and the annual MDA telethon. Linda Buckner has ALS (also known as Lou Gehrrig's Disease) which is a type of Muscular dystrophy. They also lost a daughter named Cindy in her 30's to this disease. This very worthwhile campaign is obviously very near and dear to their hearts. It was our privilege to accompany them down to the Fayetteville shopping mall where the local call in center was being telecast and run. I was even recruited in to help with a few phone in pledges.

It was one of those days where you really appreciate the good health and blessings that God has bestowed upon you.

"There but for the grace of God go I" is a phrase I often repeat to myself.
