This past
Sunday (May 22) we celebrated my 50th birthday. There were about 100 or so people in
attendance, and we had a great time. I
am so thankful for the many people that helped to make it a success –
especially my wife Lou. Instead of gifts
we asked that individuals give to the Alzheimer’s Association. My wife and I are on the committee this year for
the St Charles Alzheimer’s walk to end the disease. This organization does much
in the area of research to find a cure for the disease.
If you would
like to give, you can make a check payable to the “Alzheimer’s Association”. You can send it to 120 Ridge Ave, Suite 13,
Bloomingdale, IL 60108. This address is
for our caregiving business called Ardent Care Health Group, Inc. We will make sure that the checks are sent to
the Alzheimer’s Association. Many of you
know that my Father-in-law suffered from this devastating disease. We started our agency in memory of him.
In the
party, I sang a song that I wrote. It
speaks of God’s faithfulness to me over the years. I know I have much to be thankful for. God specializes in turning our sour
experiences into something sweet. He
works all things together for our good, for those who love Him and who are
called according to His purpose.
Here are the
words to the song:

Magnificent
to Me
There is
none brighter. You shine in the
darkness.
Shined your
light upon my soul.
I am
forgiven. For you have saved me.
Took this
battered heart and made it whole.
The day you
saved my soul.
Chorus
Jesus, You
are so magnificent to me. (Repeat)
As I look
into my memories. It's plain to see.
You have
only wanted good for me.
As I look
into my memories. It's plain to me.
You have
always loved me. You love me.
To Chorus.
Over the
mountains, down through the valleys,
Over the
years You've been here.
And when
I've failed You, You drew much closer.
You wiped
away my every tear. To Chorus
