BLIND by A.B. Seal

My 27 year old son wrote this poem while on an eye mission trip to Honduras last year. His vocation is state policeman; but his mission vocation was to check far visions on our trip. He was very moved by the many people we saw with blindness. Write comment (0 Comments)

A life without furniture - John Cheatham, MD 1940 - 2009

Dr. John Cheatham passed away Monday afternoon, November 2nd. He succumbed to a heart attack while climbing Kennesaw Mountain. Hiking was a favourite recreational pastime and an important part of his profession. He recently climbed and summited Mount Kilimanjaro and had made multiple trips to the Grand Canyon. Just this year, he completed a 50 mile hike from the canyon’s south rim to the north rim and then back again with his brother and hiking partner, Jackson.
