Oh, trust me, I know what it's like to just live my life as a witness.  I
fell off a 12-foot scaffold last May and severely injured my back; however,
you really couldn't tell just by looking at me. *grin*  A good portion of
the town where I live already know about it, and they just shake their heads
and wonder how I could have possibly survived that sort of fall, let alone
recover in the amount of time I did.  I just simply thank God He uses me as
a living testimony of His awesome power and grace.  By the same token, it's
also used to uplift a brother or sister in the church who is in need of a
spiritual boost.  Just watching someone's faith renewed in Christ is a
blessing in itself. :)

(Just to let you and everyone else know, I'm now 27 percent disabled...but
like I said, you really couldn't tell just by looking at me.)

Enough ramblings from me.

In Christ,
Bro. Kerry-Michael Hazelton
