In All Seriousness ... Thus Saith Dan

In the spirit of blogging, I've decide that I should start my own thread.

**************************************

My good friend Pastor Pastor recently said ....

I nominate Daniel Alicea king of the "he said, she said" posts.
He is expert in the art of verbal jousting about absolutely nothing.
So here goes absolutely nothing ....




__________________________________________________ __

Have you considered organ donation? According to Donate Life America, A national quantitative study commissioned by Donate Life America in 2004 showed that while 91% of adults support the idea of organ, eye and tissue donation, only one in three is aware of the proper steps for committing to become an organ, eye and tissue donor, as procedures differ from state to state.

The reality is very few have taken the steps to donate their organs. It pains me to know that many will suffer the hurt and pain that transplant patients endure because organs are scarce.

My father waited for three years for a cadaver liver. He died waiting ...

Some may know the steps my family and I took to try to prolong his life - click here for some details.

God willed differently.

Even so ... I can only wish perhaps that if more people donated their organs somehow things would be different today.

Please take a few minutes of your time to consider this important issue - You have the power to save someone's life ... perhaps long enough for someone to preach the Gospel to them.

What can you do?

1. Commit to Donation-

Laws that oversee donation vary from state to state. It is important for you to know how to ensure your decision to be a donor is carried out.

If you would like to know more about the steps to committing to organ donation ... go to http://donatelife.net/CommitToDonation/

I have committed to share my organs after my death.

______________________________________________

2. Inspire others to Commit -

I pray that you would find it in your heart to examine this issue.

In His and your service,
Dan

That's great, Dan! Seriously! I've already signed the papers to donate my organs upon my death also (if anyone still wants them by that point). I figure even if my heart is useless and most of my other organs are fried, I still have skin. They do use donated skin. And heaven knows, I've got LOTS of that!!

So how about donating blood? Do you do that?? If alot of people hadn't taken the time to donate blood last May before Walt needed it, he most certainly would not be here today. He used 66 units of blood in 2 days!!!!!! Even our 17 year old son has seen the light. He donated his first unit of blood a month ago and plans to make it a regular event. I'd encourage anyone who is eligible - donate!!!

Something just doesn't seem right about organ donation. Probably just me.

I've donated blood twice ... in my lifetime ... Margie ... I'm real squeamish about it ... I guess cause I'm alive to see it ... two years ago ... when I had some blood drawn ... I almost ... gulp ... fainted ....

I'm not following your question, what do you mean by "attend you"?
