Marilyn, With the busy lives we all lead today, it is not always possible to respond to all the email and correspondence we receive. Your postings on ALP are MUST-READ for me. Again, you have lived up to your reputation! Michael is certainly a remarkable young man. His story is an inspiration to all of us, especially when we feel burdened by life's problems. The Biblical passage, "As a man thinketh, so is he",applies to Michael and others who have found the inner strength to overcome great obstacles. I have not met Glenn, to whom you dedicated this message, but would like to meet him. If you would like to share his contact information, privately or publicly, perhaps other ALP members may provide encouragement to him by sharing our own stories and life experiences. Cindy

HI Cynthia, Thanks so much for stopping by and for your comments. It is always a pleasure to see you! Thanks for the very nice comment you made about my forums being a must-read for you! I am very proud that people enjoy my forums and learn alot from many of them! Glenn posted in one of my other forums and I will let you know his profile. Thanks again! God Bless! Marilyn

Good Morning Marilyn! Wow! awesome story! All I have to say is what Cynthia said! Even tho I do not always post, your forums are a definite read! Thank you! This one is exceptional and one I was in desperate need of at the moment...I think I was in the right place at the right time to have received this! Bless you! Julia Youngblood "The Ink Lady"
