Tomorrow morning Deacon Morgan and I will travel down to Indianapolis to lead a worship service for walkers at the American Diabetes Association walk. The ADA’s walk raises money to help fight the battle against diabetes, and it raises awareness as well. We are both honored to be able to be a part.
Diabetes, of course, is a big deal in my family. My mom is in a nursing home here in town, primarily because of issues stemming from her diabetes. And my grandfather, who I miss terribly, also was put into a nursing home when his body just shut down from battling it. All these walkers, whether they come to the worship service or not, are very important to me. I appreciate their hard work and dedication. I know all those with diabetes and their families do as well.
I so enjoy being around people who go give of themselves in order to support other people and (good) causes. It will be a wonderful and inspirational day, I am sure!

Goodnight my friends, and God Bless.
