Matthew, I’m very much looking forward to watching you tomorrow night at Red Rocks (row 5 baby!). Wonderful Life is the same story as my brother and his wife, Jeanne. She passed away this past April 12 – Resurrection week! Jeanne and John both saw ALS as, ultimately, a gift from God. It afforded them an incredible opportunity to look at life differently and continue to talk about how God works in their life. It was incredibly painful, but for me it was probably the greatest act of love I have ever seen. My brother saw this as an opportunity to serve Jeanne. And he did nonstop for more than 3 years, the whole time with love and joy in his heart. Never saw him complain once; he always had a smile, grateful that the Lord gave him the time to be with Jeanne and serve her. John and Jeanne own Sola Coffee Shop in Raleigh – if you get a chance do stop by – unbelievable coffee and atmosphere – it is their ministry (don’t go on Sunday as they are closed). Their story was broadcast far and wide – they had an advocate at WRAL TV who’s a big fan of the Lord:

Her testimony is remarkable and again, is so aligned with Wonderful Life:

Tears of joy,
Donald L
