The Prayer Quilt

The picture noted prayer quilt holds a special place in my heart. The person standing beside me is Pat Edwards. I first met her through a real estate transaction in 1999. We recently got in touch and I told her about my ALS diagnoses. She has a friend named Eleanor Brown that makes prayer quilts through a ministry at her church. The quilt has strings and people come to the front of the church and pray over the quilt and tie a knot in one of the strings. This quilt has over 100 knots. The prayer note attached was : This Prayer Quilt is for Lee Linthicum, please pray GOD's will be done with my ALS, and that He put a hedge of love and protection around my family. Pat mentioned me to Eleanor and through love and thoughtfulness this quilt was made. Every time I look at it, my soul fills with happiness. My dock is done and by the end of the week my front porch and ramp will be done and that will give me more mobility. All thanks to GOD. Take care, Lee

Thanks to the Dock Buiders

Bob Copeland ask me if I wanted anything. I thought for a moment and then it hit me, I always wanted a dock. I drew up the design and one week later Bob was here. Bob recruited Dave Symington,Ray Linthicum,Jim Cullen and his son Jim and Daniel William. The time and effort that all gave can not be measured. There aren't words I can come up with that would express how greatly this is appreciated. So please take a bow, each one of you. I personally pat each one of you on the back. It is a job well done. The picture posted "Dock Gang" does not include Daniel so I am posting "Dock Gang Final Day"with him. I love you guys, now I am going fishing.

Keeping My Chin Up

Hi all, hope life is going good for everyone. I am still getting around with that 4 wheel walker and the ALS loan closet gave me a power chair to use. It does help save energy on some days. I just finished reading "A Painted House" by John Grisham. I read it in 4 days, which isn't astounding by any stretch but I have done no avid reading since 10th grade. I am going to start though because it helps to get mind in another place. It was a book that sucked me in and kept my attention and that helps. If you look at the pictures here you will see the dock gang. They are the guys working on my pond dock. I will be able to ride my scooter on the dock to fish so I am excited. I can't tell you how much I appreciate this. They have been giving up their time for my special need. Friends and family are key in my fight against ALS. The comments and posts on this site are greatly appreciated. Well until next time, take care and GOD bless.
