I honestly can't think of much to say - which is a rare occasion for me. I received a $250 donation for my 1/2 marathon today from Lisa Beamer! It truly just brings tears to my eyes. For those of you who don't know who that is let me explain. Lisa and her husband Todd were my youth leaders in high school. They also taught my Sunday school class at Princeton Alliance Church. I babysat their little boys and just absolutely adored the whole Beamer family. Todd was a passenger on Flight 93 that crashed in PA on September 11th. He meant so much to me and I never had the chance to tell him that. Lisa and I have kept in touch through Christmas cards each year and her and her kids' pictures are on my fridge. They hold such a special place in my heart. She and Todd have always been more than generous to me, supporting my many mission trips, but never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I'd receive such a large gift. So Lisa, if you are reading this - Thank you - you've not only supported my cause but shown me once again the type of person you are - always thinking of and caring for others. I hope to one day bless others as you have blessed me throughout my life!
So I will not wait until Friday to honor my extra special donor - Lisa - THANKS!!!!
