Thank you, Freedom'sWorthIt. Nice to type at you again! It is very sad about Charlton Heston. I know that he will shine like a star, though, in this dark time, just like Mr. Reagan and his trooper wife Nancy, and just like Muhamed Ali - last night Tiger and I watched a video on his life (Ali: As the World knew him, I think, was the title). I didn't know that he lit the Olympic torch for the Atlanta games, despite his Parkinson's. Rush Limbaugh is another shining example of an overcomer.

So sad about Heston. I know first hand how horrific this disease is, as my Mother was recently diagnosed with it. I have learned a lot about it reading the information put out by the Reagan family who are doing a great service for families faced with this.

Yes, Rush is a hero, for sure. Ali - bless his heart! Yes, I saw him with the torch at the Atlanta Games. And now his daughter, is it?, is a boxer also? (or am I dreaming here).

But President Reagan and Nancy - how great the love!

And for Charlton Heston - how great the love we hold for him!

We must let him know!

Alzheimers is terrible but I see a lady with Alzheimers almost weekly who is the dearest, sweetest person imaginable with a devoted husband taking care of her every need (she is in a faciiity, but he is there doing all he can for her every day). This lady ALWAYS has a smile on her face.

Those who care for people with Alzheimers are saints in this life and will receive God's blessings in their own lives. And those with the illness - well - God is already right there with them guiding them and caring for them and making ready their homes on high.

For the record the movie (documentary actually) was
"Ali: Through the eyes of the World."
It was very good. In spite of any misgivings I have about some of his views or choices he made he is undoubtedly a remarkable man who doesn't know the words quit or can't.
He never made any excuses for his failures, in or out of the ring.
