But it is your example as a father that I cherish most about our acquaintance. I will always remember looking down at your son Craig in his crib when I stayed in your home. I was overcome and lifted by the Holy Spirit. <br>You see, at this same time I also had a son who was just a baby in a crib. My son, Mark, was healthy. Steve s son was born without eyes or an esophagus. In addition, Craig s brain was not fully functional nor would it ever be normal. It was suggested that Craig be placed under institutional care where he wasn t expected to live very long. Some even hinted at just letting little Craig pass on. However, to Steve and his wife Carol, their son was special and God s gift to them. Craig would be raised at home and be greatly loved. I was filled with emotion and gratitude for two things: First, for my son being healthy and secnd, for Steve s wonderful example. <br>On the recommendations of Dr. Charley Howell, Craig went through several operations and survived. Recenty, Coach Brooks gave me an update and sent me a photo of his son. Craig will be 17 this June; my son Mark will turn 17 in July. Craig can hold hands with his dad and walk around the track. He smiles and can even say a few words. Steve credits his wifeCarol as the one who has made Craig s life what it is today.  She has done all of the hard work, he said.  Craig s special ed teacher April has also been a true miracle worker. <br>As I looked at the photo and pondered over life s bigger picture, I reflected upon the importance of gratitude and families.<br>I finished my letter to Steve:  I know that in the afterlife Craig s body and mind will be restored. I know he will thank you for being the father that you are. Families are a forever thing. Later, Steve called me and told me he has the same feelings. <br>It s a good time now to remember our families and treasure them. Time to take a few moments to think beyond our everyday problems and focus on the big picture. <br><br>Time to be grateful.<br> they got were better times and heavier lifts.<br>The previous page shows some of the before and after results of the BFS program from November  97 to March  98.<br>Keep in mind that these changes are big! A swimmer who knocks off a second is like a weightlifter adding another 50 pounds to his or her bench!<br>As for team results, this year SWAT had more athletes than ever qualify for the Junior Natonal Championships. They also hope to win the Division 2 High School State Championships this year, a competition in which they placed fourth last year. This would be anespecially impressive accomplishment since this competition pits 45 schools against each other. lso, in J tXls|+v!Y+MAt[:BQ-$2/3CL%}iITIt$e_R`\ JS}Z;ʌ쵙OQv-3E<_-Ia&),ou!5pMCރ)*/Kv獨5ō5MͯX5`{U^zP,3B;M~&?M[v"ۅl dɸDܺJn*8HROOJ2s/Um JEH|:t5 b9 ~Co۩R.]3GN$.)8bÕs_o%dьgx-$_/RGjEGltSbە)F\sxC-E+20q)IR oDz7*IÉ$: fh\2рDZ1>#i*n.xSRGg]AYpa+gF 0Eڭ "kb5 oP-TI{sFf0u[KͫNm n[{9~t=_flwQӂ# O-:p9_:pmB%[ N f>DݸjM{l%|_gCBPb1Qԃ:Kk;ώBQO_qns}#a9tNQHX?gȀAI6~yy5߭JO2E~^VPXlZe͞c #ob:qs$ۄ|\S7~|Bpk*HxMd|:d۲P2Fr3^GyPxȒGfQ˷rY_HWDF,(Pv FU8<;+,-2FYO;=Yɷ>+SI '*ҡ;xfxXNDGӎ>:c ^Xo Lh rM! +)+߶MXRQj1\ R؎套_͈l m ?l;mC5R`V&Ĝ.{ xSkXec`-=Ը`[(mi56w;f3 }R ApN+q3yr<+ɵ5C pu6w8z$qPhfl=J34B jhjv3Xmc,8}eDFA"yq A e%u|-Jb۽6 ?%IҨeR"'%cߞ?Ŏ8Ca6-j:'j!.=Qm!*/mbǶU 4p줱#Uɸ(': nv gk!Pgә _X}^nI Tl|-7TMM [m^/\LY7+r6]>Ej.y/WPe@0Ω b\}[a"A!@NjզPGŒȟ>U^;o=@ q+~[jF]NgIk~Gu:7Q_,Na%B 'u }ÓWr6y79$fȤKrk yc 13 U u[UD!?<xF(53haryJzgJ?k?p'DB`sIЭy Xqq$kZi8Wڦ%@G4Q? !"M67 SiZ\ V/pMkܕkpxY>^c@n?=[:'B.mlqΈBIJkMlz=C="_So7fzI2Fqnj;r.fmM\c4j4o.7GC~t$o-Gt1q[]\>V)Zʭ+..tYLqn=VA/ajJHq,X{r39NWN`_*r6ȁkqaDo?s{]8M'ݏe@.aKnl`l`J?/^dMKT-!Tm7ӀP4M;HP۱N]V6^(dhV|$^V!7£H9N* či,[WVhܭx\N*$KZۮ^o"0߈VߕbXG6]ޥBş#{Gլ5s"_6ˊ1PdN5 1s"Xik:tC_ItK'O橵^4\o6 MF;| >0ڮ_O3m@Uf5Oyt\_M*PTу9jNǹ*-o+~
