Paul

We just recieved this email and video from our friends at Lifeline.  Please help advocate for Paul.  His earthly body is less than perfect - but his heavenly body will be a masterpiece. 

Have you ever wanted to change a life?  I mean REALLY change a life.  This little honey, Paul, struggles with mobility.  His arms and his legs are compromised.  He is said to be bright and active.  He can crawl in and out of his crib and mobilizes himself by scooting.   He is need of a loving family who is willing to help him reach his fullest potential.   It is my pleasure to introduce you to Paul…..
