Thoughts regarding someone I never knew but miss greatly.

UPDATE (1/18/11): I just learned, by listening to WSBRadio, that Royal had the following quote taped to his desk at work. Perhaps Royal isn’t rolling his eyes at me with my comparison. “The Christian faith makes it possible for us to accept that which cannot be changed, to meet disappointment and sorrow with an inner poise, and to absorb the most intense pain without abandoning our sense of hope, for we know, as Paul testified, in life or death, in Spain or Rome, “that all things work together to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” – Martin Luther King, Jr Continue reading “Thoughts regarding someone I never knew but miss greatly.”

My Inspiration

Today, I am answering phones for the WSB Radio Care-a-Thon, benefiting the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta AFLAC Cancer Center and Blood Disorder Services. The Care-a-Thon started this morning at 5am, Thur. Aug 26th, and it runs through 5pm (ET) Fri. Aug 27th. You can listen live on WSB Radio AM 750 and/or FM 95.5, or by streaming online through WSB Radio’s website.

The purpose of this post today is to share some artwork created by my boys. I am thankful for my boys, and I am thankful for their good health. The Care-a-Thon allows me the opportunity to help raise money for the kids that aren’t healthy. Too many kids are battling ‘adult-size’ illnesses, and these kids need your help.

The artwork created by my boys inspires me. I hope you will take a moment and think about your loved ones: young and old. Be thankful for the health of your family, and please consider giving for those battling ‘adult-size’ illnesses. Pick up the phone or go online (which you are now) and make a donation to the AFLAC Cancer Center and Blood Disorder Services. Children need Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, and Children’s needs you.
