Back in the papers again!

One of our local newspapers had another article about me in support of the upcoming bone marrow drive next Sunday. As I said before, I'm kind of a small fish in a tiny pond but it's important to get the word out that people should make every effort to get themselves on the bone marrow donor list. Give someone else a chance and give yourself the feeling of a lifetime. I can't imagine what it must feel like to say that you have saved someone else's life!

I know what it feels like to have your life saved by someone else. It's hard to contemplate that without that individual, I would not be here. To actually have a donor and to find one so quickly are really two miracles. It just doesn't work that way in most cases - I'm so blessed.

So what do I do with my new found life? Why I tackle my wife's honey do list of course! I've just about wrapped up the crown molding job in my living room and dining room. Being one joined space, there is almost 120 feet of molding - so it's no small task. I've now got to paint the molding where it's been patched and then, lastly, to paint the walls that adjoin the molding. Monday should just about wrap it up. Then it's time to relax before tackling the garage.

What else have I done? I went to church this morning for a lay reader's course which was interesting. It's nice to see that a number of people want to strive to do better and not just take reading on Sunday morning as a who cares! activity. Reading God's word on Sunday morning is a privilege that should make you want to do your best and not take lightly. Sometimes you get the feeling that there are those whose opinions differ from mine.

Well, that's about it for the past two days. Tomorrow, we sing an anthem that we have never seen before so it will be interesting to see how much we pick up in the 45 minutes that we have before church starts. Our choir director has a lot of faith in us.

I hope it's all justified...
