    My wife and I had saved two of our good friends’ lives. One who had typhoid and didn’t know it after we had received a telephone call from his daughter asking for help we got him to the hospital. Had he been few late hours late he would have died. He was subsequently cured of typhoid.
    Another friend who lived in Kuala Lumpur which is about 250 miles from where we are had Deep Vein Thrombosis and didn’t know about this life threatening blood clog. It was a coincidence that we telephoned him to inquire about his heath. By the grace of God he told us he had breathing difficulties
    and heavy swelling on both legs. We got a common friend who lived near him to rush him to a hospital and thank God had he been 1 hour late he would have succumbed as the clog would have travelled to his heart. Our friends are well and feel so grateful till this day. It makes us feel good to have been responsible for these two life saving gestures accorded to our dear friends.

    I can’t believe that this “gay is normal” mentality has invaded our revered RD!! I do not consider it a miracle or a breakthrough that 2 men married each other on a military base!! This is just further breaking down the moral, family centered society in the US. God help us all!!

    When you go through situations at time you can feel Overwhelmed. But my friend Albert K. has been there for me during these hard and difficult times. See, I use to have a drinking problem until I come into the care of Albert and people like him. Recently I was moved from Wisconsin to Illinois on account of something I did not do. Sat in jail and placed on probation. I believe everyone needs someone they can turn to when you feel like life is getting you down. Albert has accepted my calls, day or night, and helped me from relapsing a number of times. He’s helping me to get through this until I can get back to Wisconsin, or wherever!

    One thing we are all capable of… kindness. We only need to open our eyes. Last year my 30 year old son came home from work without hisw shoes on. He drives a truck for a living and it was a cold winters day. He saw a homeless man with no shoes. I could not be any more proud of him if he won a Nobel Peace Prize.

    Miracles happen every day. I wish the news would report more of the good things that people do instead of constantly focusing on the bad.
