I am a Minister and I was finding it hard to preach. this started in 2007. In Oct 2007 I was told by the third that yes I had ALS. I retired on disibility from my church in 12/07 and moved back to Ca. to be near my children. I am on a breathing maching 90% of the time. In the last few months I have had to use a power wheel chair to get around. I can still walk but only a few steps and must have a walker. I just finished my second book "Lots of Hope" its out for Easter. I hope to write my third book "Lots of Love" and have it out for Chirstmas 09. I live with my wife of 40 yrs and our dog.
