"And The Sky Went Red"
And blindly we held your hand and threw you down.
We cursed your name, turned our backs and begged you to embrace us.

| ...over to my other blog. It's >>here<< C'mon in! The water's fine!  See you there, perhaps... | | |
| Want to save someone's life? Literally?
Are you between 18 & 62?
Then keep reading. And act on what you read.
Right now you can go to www.marrow.org and request a kit to be screened in order to be a potential bone marrow donor for FREE! Yes, I said FREE. Usually one would pay $52, but from May 5-May 19 you can get screened for FREE!
Please pass this along to all family, friends, co-workers, etc.
Wouldn't it be an incredible opportunity to get to save a life?
Also,
on Friday, May 17th, there will be another bone marrow drive in honor
of a little girl by the name of Madison Courtney. Madison also needs a
bone marrow transplant. This drive will also be held at Temple Baptist
Church (West Campus). You can view Madison's site by visiting: www.caringbridge.org/visit/madisoncourtney
I know this sweet family would appreciate your prayers as well. It is
my understanding that this drive will also be free of charge. This is
only for a limited time as they are doing a promotion to get potential
donors. PLEASE consider doing this if you haven't already done so. PASS
the word!
Note: once you're typed, you stay in the marrow
registry until age 62. They contact you if your marrow matches someone.
And btw, there are no needles in the typing process. (there are needles
in the donation process, of course, but none in the typing process. I
promise!)
This is not about my medical situation, but I feel very strongly about this. And "save a life" is absolutely not an exaggeration.
On
behalf of my good friend Jason Weathers, of this young lady named
Madison Courtney, and many others needing a bone marrow transplant,
THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING TO THIS! | | |
| ...I have medical news (sort of). The bottom line is, I'm scheduled for a consult appt. @ M.D. Anderson Cancer Research Center in Houston on May 6.
Go here for more details. I'll be updating there as often as there is something to update.
If you are a pray-er, consider this my request for yours. If you know a pray-er, please make them aware of my situation (and of the other blog listed above). I'm not proud; I accept any & all prayers! 
Thanks so much for your thoughts & prayers!
Mike

| Be Unto Your Name
We are a moment, You are forever,
Lord of the ages, God before time.
We are a vapor, You are eternal,
Love everlasting, reigning on high.
Holy, holy, Lord God Almighty.
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain.
Highest praises, honor and glory
Be unto Your name,
Be unto Your name.
We are the broken, You are the healer,
Jesus, Redeemer, mighty to save.
You are the love song we’ll sing forever,
Bowing before You, blessing Your name.
Holy, holy, Lord God Almighty
Worty is the Lamb Who was slain.
Highest praises, honor and glory
Be Unto Your Name.
Be Unto Your Name.

p.s. - wanna hear a short sample of how it sounds? Mash Here and press the "play" button
(you do want to hear....it's one of my new favorite songs; we sang it as a congregational praise song this a.m. Both the lyrics and the music are awesome. Did you know it's not easy to press the down arrow when one's eyes are misting with tears? *clears throat*)

| A man without self-control
is like a city broken into and left without walls.
Proverbs 25:28
Just sayin'...

p.s. - isn't "a city broken into and left without walls" a great visual? And a disturbing one?
