Quick update & Be The Match

Sorry, I haven't been updating lately...busy, busy! Here's a quick rundown of what's been going on (more in later posts - when I have more time):

* Wilson Gang Task force "Takin' it to the Park" (treasure hunt - will explain more later)
* Baseball, baseball, baseball - Christian is doing great!!
* Wooten sold tickets, worked and helped bake cakes for a youth spaghetti fundraiser. He's gearing up for camp this summer.
* The kids had their end-of-year testing.
* Strawberry picking and cherry picking
* I've been reading (more like engrossed) in the Twilight series.
* Anna Gracen is learning a new dance for the church anniversary later this summer.
* I've been practicing a dance that some of us on the dance team will be doing for the Ladies' Conference at church next weekend. We're dancing to "Mercy Seat".
* The nursing home where the kids from church visit each month was burned last weekend. Praise the Lord no one was seriously injured! They hope to have it rebuilt in about 3 months.

God is such an on time God! As mentioned in an earlier post I recently learned of two people diagnosed with Leukemia. Laura and I talked about bone marrow transplants. I told her how I an on the registry to be a bone marrow donor. Well, yesterday I received a letter from the National Marrow Donor Program - Be The Match. It was time for me to update my information. I signed up to be a member May 8, 1999 when a little girl in Wilson needed a transplant. Being part of the registry means that as doctors search the registry my "tissue type is being continuously reviewed as a possible match for a patient in need." Once they find a donor they contact the individual quickly.

How can you help? You can join the registry, make a tax-deductible contribution and/or volunteer. Visit www.BeTheMatch.org/2help to learn more.
