"Light The Night" Walk for Lymphoma

Precious friends & family:

Tonight as I review the Lymphoma Pledge page orchestrated by my sister-in-law I am reminded that on July 16th, 2008, I entered into my 4th year of a diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma or blood cancer. Throughout the entire battle, thus far, my attitude has been positive and continues to be so. However, as I contemplate the disease itself, I am sad to be reminded that so may others are stricken, even children, with this horrible terminating disease. I wonder how many, young or old, are experiencing the "Joy" that I experience, even in the midst of knowing the outcome, because of their faith in Jesus Christ.

So many will die tonight without experiencing the "Love of Christ". If you click on the link to the left and go to the "Light The Night" donation page, that will be great and I know others, as well as myself, will greatly appreciate your monetary donation, but I would ask for something even more than your money. In all my years of ministry, I have never sat beside a bed of a dying person who said they were glad that their time was up. I don't believe any one of us can truly have that feeling. As you consider what you might give to the Lymphoma Society, would you also please pray? Pray for the ones who do not know Christ and His saving grace. Pray that whether a cure is found in this next 12 months or not, those afflicted, will gain a "new understanding" of true life and love as they give their heart to Christ. AND PLEASE FORWARD THE ADDRESS OF THIS WEBSITE TO ANYONE YOU CAN, NOT FOR MY SAKE BUT FOR THEIRS!

You've all been great,

Dave
