I will be traveling to see my Grandma, parents, and family in a couple days. I wanted to take this time, though, to tell you about Andrew Metz.  This 18-year-old family friend of ours has recently been diagnosed with a form of Leukemia just as he was entering basic training in the Air Force.  Andrew now needs to find a bone marrow donor. YOU can help by reading <a href=\"http:\/\/theandrewfund.org\/story\/\">Andrew Metz's story<\/a>, donating to support his medical expenses and marrow donor registrations, and registering yourself for testing as a potential donor.  I have created a website to tell <a href=\"http:\/\/theandrewfund.org\/story\/\">Andrew's story<\/a> where his family will be <a href=\"http:\/\/theandrewfund.org\/\">posting updates<\/a> as the time passes.  Check <a href=\"http:\/\/theandrewfund.org\/\">the Andrew Fund website<\/a> regularly for more ways to help.  Have a Merry Christmas, and pray for those who face tough times this holiday season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christmas Eve has arrived, and I find myself in Pennsylvania in the company of good friends and warm homes.
