Last night I was in a LDS, and I saw first hand an Adaptive Scuba Class for the disabled.

I have always thought of myself as a strong, and determined person, but after I saw a young man with MS, and an amputee sitting together working with a set of dive tables, it reminded me that these folks are in a league of their own !

I forgot that even though they may have lost a leg or lost control of a function, they didn't lose their spirit, determination, or their zest for life.

WE ALL HAVE CERTAIN:
TALENTS / STRENGTHS / ABILITIES
WE ALL HAVE IMPERFECTIONS OR DISABILITIES:
MAJOR ONES ARE APPARENT..... MINOR ONES ARE NOT
WE ARE ALL IMPAIRED OR DISABLED IN SOME WAY!


I feel lucky to have met these two, because they reminded me that you can have the body of a lamb, but you can also have the heart of a lion.

I hope everyone supports programs like these.
