God's Presence

If my path be smooth or rugged, If with thorns or roses strewn. Where I go the Father seetih, And He will leave me not alone.

If I take the wings of morning far within the giant sea, Even there His hand will lead me, Even there my God will be.

Though the gloom of night be round me, Though I cannot see my way, Yet the Lord will see and guide me, Because unto Him the night is day.

If my thoughts are good or evil, Set me think to hide them not. There is One above all seeing, and He beholdeth every thought.

And ever more my eyes beholds me, And all my ways to Him are known, And His loving arms enfolds me, He will leave me not alone.

Miles for Muscles~ A Worthy Cause

This June 4th I will be running the Dam To Dam 20K in Des Moines, Iowa for a very special friend and cause.
My friend and high school cross country coach, David Cook, is asking my help to raise funds to donate to Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy (MMD) research at the University of Virginia. Both David and his niece have been diagnosed with this crippling illness and as of now there is no treatment or cure. I am hoping that you will sponsor my run by making a donation to the research. Your tax deductible donation goes directly to a lab at UVA to fund preliminary experiments, purchase lab equipment and pay for PhD team members. Dr. Mahadevan can now reverse the illness in his mouse model taking it completely away.  David and his family are working closely with the Stone family, who created a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization to assist in raising funds to find a cure for MMD.

To learn more about the Stone organization, please visit www.StoneCircleofFriends.com.

To sponsor me please go to www.MilesforMuscles.com/damtodam/runners.html
and click the donate button by my name. I am grateful for any amount that you can donate.
