Hello, I'm John Bullard, am 26 years old, and have Cerebral Palsy. I live with my family and love the time we spend together. It has become increasingly difficult for me as of late to participate in very important activities, all of which contribute to my life, without a safe accessible wheelchair van. I have goals and needs I want to work on, like getting my GED, participating in activities with friends, and staying involved in my church, all very special. Also important is the need for transportation for therapy and for medical needs.
With prayer, I am trying to raise enough funds for a wheelchair van so that i may travel safely. Life is a gift to be experienced.... and i am asking for your help and donation, please give if you can. it would truly change my life and my family's life.

"Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children." MLK Jr. At the root of God's greatest creation, the human heart lies the fundamental dreams of us all. Dreams of the heart and mind And cries of the soul. For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 God can and will guide our path... we must still move our feet.
Add in tension in my neck, ringing in my ears and random coming and going of pain... this is the "headache" since spring of 2008 and today hit me at 5:30 am this morning and hasn't let up. most of the time these days with my head when the other muscle are not... some days both at once. Saw the following on a message board discussion on migraines. "Used to be that i would get a weird sensation of numbness in the top or sides of my head. For about the last two weeks i have had a full tingly sensation that spreads from around my ear to half way up my scalp and on the upper jaw and cheek. When i used to get the numbness i would self adjust my neck and it would go away. This sensation comes and goes several times a day. It does not seem to be triggered by anything. Some times i can feel movement and even notice that the movement moves the classes on my face. today i can feel what seems to be my heart beat in the side of my face. My face almost feels like the sensation that you get when you go to get your wisdom teeth out and they stick you with that medicine."
I want to learn as much as possible in my pursuit of knowledge. While knowing very well, that neither you, nor I, will ever finish that pursuit of knowledge while on this earth. Why, with every new breath, comes a new lessen. I love it when God blesses me by allowing my eyes to open with a new sunrise. I love God. I love my family and friends, which in my life are one and the Same. I want to leave a mark; I want to make a difference. I sit now, But I will stand again. It may not be in this place, or “normal” by its evaporating standers which it falsely claims. But REAL, ever flowing truth. In my observation, rarely, in being REAL are we ever“normal”nor, in being “normal” are we ever being REAL. For who determines “normal” from REAL But HE, who holds all that is REAL in his hands. I am REAL, YOU ARE REAL, We are different in a few ways but in Many the same. We are REAL. What is “normal “but slow yet never ceasing evaporation of all that is false? And what is REAL, But, all that is strong, able, and, everlasting.
"He loved us, not because we were lovely to him, but to make us lovely."~ Tim Keller

NOVEMBER is National Physical Therapy Month.... and I miss all of my P.T.S If you grew up with a disability you understand the impact a P.T. can have on your life. i miss them all everyday of my life.
Diane Funk Milhorn, You have no Idea how much i miss you... I don't have the words anymore.... Thank you for teaching me lessons that have lasted far beyond my walker and my attitude... Thank you.
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Corinthians 13:11 If you have someone who pushes you because they love you. to break down your walls of your own preconceived limitations, hold on to them. because they know what you can do.
You can only overcome your challenges after you accept them.
when your feet are on the ground everyday you take it for granted. When i could stand i was so focused on upset at the work that i had to do that i missed the reward, I never understood until much later that most times in my life how beautiful it was, My feet on the ground or my fragile step. A few years ago i went to run walk and roll with my father there were kids there in Gait Trainers walking slowly but determined every step of the little girl in front of me was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
Without P.T.S that girl wouldn't be able to feel Gods ground beneath her feet.
