Yup... lower floor and fold out ramp at the back...

Oh, it was -27 degrees Celsius or -17 degrees Fahrenheit that day but, I was smiling.

All funds have been released and I will be buying a new van in a few weeks.  Just in time for Spring!

Thank you Lord.  Thanks to those who prayed.

I have eaten Moose meat and it's delish!

[AWESOME UPDATE:]

AWESOME UPDATE:

I received the $7,500 from one of the charities!!  God is good!

Bringing my total to about $28,000 raised.

I'm still waiting on a reply regarding $15,000 from another charity. 

Please continue to pray with me that this charity will accept my application for their funds.  And Glory be to God!

Hey Bro

I agree with Pastor Roger.

Some food for thought though:  Aunt Brenda took her kids trick-or-treating.  The dressed up silly and went out to get candy.  They didn't go houses that were really scary.  She told them Halloween can be fun but not to take it too serious.

 

[UPDATE:]

UPDATE:

$45,000 total cost.  $23,000 I need to raise independently.

God has helped me raise more than $17,000.  And the costs of the vehicle has come down quite a bit.   

I have applied to 2 charities and am hoping to receive $7,500 from one and $15,000 from another.  I will hear back in late November. 

Please pray with me that these charities accept my application for their funds.

A local business gave $2,000 today.

Praise the Lord!

Thanks bro!

Yup, I need to raise about $23,000 for a new wheelchair accessible van. 
Lots of people are praying and I'm sure the Lord will provide.
Thanks for all your prayers!

Hi,

My name is Joshua!  I'm brand-spanking-new to this site.  Many of you here know my brother david_james  He is my slightly younger brother.  I am 26 and he's 25.  Sometimes I think he is more mature and wiser... sometimes 

I came to this site after I asked david_james to direct me to a christian forum.  I am a forum junkie, but most of the forums visit have more swear words than encouraging words.  I hope I can enjoy my time here and contribute my own personality.

A bit about me:  I'm 26.  I, like my brother, have Muscular Dystrophy.  I live in my own home.  I'm a big sports fan.  I love all Toronto teams... Maple Leafs, Blue Jays, Raptors, etc...  My other interests are; cooking, movies, poker, & beer.

Most importantly;  God is not counting my sins against me because of Jesus' sacrifice... woo hoo! -- If you ask me my 'religious' views, I'll tell you this: The irreligious message of grace subverts any religious system.  Cool eh?

Thanks, and say hi!
