About the same time (1996) I began this journey with the community at cysticfibrosis.com, I found a church. Marble Collegiate Church on 5[SUP]th[/SUP] avenue and 29[SUP]th[/SUP] street in Manhattan, but Norman Vincent Peale (the former minister and author of the book:“The Power of Positive Thinking) had already hired Sr Carol Perry (a Roman Catholic nun) as the resident Bible Scholar.
Being raised Catholic, I knew little about the Bible, but I wanted to learn.
So many people and stories here remind me of the age old Bible stories.
One that comes to mind today is the woman at the well. My favorite part of it, was that she came at noon, when the well would be empty, but Jesus was there and he KNEW her story!
So often, newly diagnosed members and family members come here and you reach out to them…you KNOW their story and there is comfort here in the sharing.
Yesterday, I acknowledged our “well” is local, and we know from Google Analytics, that 2000 people come here from all over the world yesterday.
I want to tell you, Medrise Tools got orders from the Caribbean and Canada, Europe and California…so this little virtual well is global!
