What helps Me is to go outside and ride around in My Electric Wheelchair. I also I do go for a drive with My wife or son in Our Van. And I love to read My Bible each day, read My Devotionals, and a time of Pray with the Lord. All of these help Me.

I have had ALS now for 4 years and learned much from God. My words that drive me forward with Peace and Comfort are “Love, Mercy and Grace”. This is what God provides and makes all Good and Blessed.

I have peace and joy through my Christian Salvation from the Lord that I have had since I was 11 years old.  And over the last 60 years I have learned how to deal with all of my life issues through my Salvation and the leading of the Holy Spirit.

I place all of my Faith, Hope and Trust in the Lord and receive all my Hope and Joy from the Lord.
