Something to consider - Please

[Volzfan]

Here in Nashville we have lost a true friend. He is a man that I never met FTF but he came into my home for more than 30 years. His name was Dan Miller. He was the anchorman for the local NBC TV station. He died in Augusta GA after watching a practice round for The Masters on Wednesday last week. Augusta was his hometown.

As bad as the national news is I always knew that Dan was the exception to the rule. There has been a lot said about him since the news broke here last Thursday morning but there is something that I heard this afternoon that I just can't stand still for. I have to admit that I am also one who kept putting off what we can all do to help others in need. What am I referring to? ORGAN DONATION!

Dan was an organ donor who has helped some people to hopefully have a longer life because of his thoughtfulness and love for his fellow man. It was reported this afternoon that Dan was one of only 345 people in the entire state of Tennessee that were organ donors! 345! How can that be? Tennessee is called the "Volunteer State". Well not where this is concerned. I have sent an email similar to this post to everyone in my address book. I have signed up and I ask that you would also consider doing the same. If you also feel the desire then please send out some emails also.

Thanks for reading this and God Bless.
