A number of people have made contributions to this project through their comments or their guest articles, but it appears that an even greater number have had trouble finding how to do so. So here are some instructions on how to offer your perspective on this journey.
Comments on Articles/Blog Posts:
At the end of each article or blog post, you’ll see a link that says “No Comments” or “3 Comments” (or however many comments). By clicking on that link, you’ll be taken to a page for just that post, and at the bottom of the page will be a form. Just enter your comments into that form, and click the “Leave a Reply” button. After submitting the form, it goes to a holding area where we check to make sure you’re not submitting links to Viagra or other enhancers. Once we check it over we approve it and it shows on the site.
Comments on Pages (such as this one):
There will be that same form at the bottom of the page – just fill it out and submit it, and once approved it will show.
Guest Writing Articles:
If you have something more to say than seems appropriate for a comment, then we encourage you to become a guest writer. There’s no obligation to write tons of material – every little bit of perspective helps. Becoming a guest writer is quick and easy:
- Go to http://wordpress.com/signup/
- Create a WordPress account
- Contact Kier and let him know the email address associated with your WordPress account (Kier’s contact info can be found at http://www.kierselinsky.com/als.asp)
- You’ll then be granted access to post stories on this blog

Hi Denny,
It’s your’ friend of the last 30 or so years. By the way I am part of the 7%. I have been by Dennys’ side from the beginning and intend to stand by his side until the end. Originally I never planned writing on this website, because I talk to or see Denny everyday. But a recent e-mail sent from him and a urgent need in his life changed my mind. The e-mail is entitled 7%.
A HOLY MAN WAS HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH THE LORD ONE DAY AND SAID, ‘LORD, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT HEAVEN AND HELL ARE LIKE.”
THE LORD LED THE HOLY MAN TO TWO DOORS.
HE OPENED ONE OF THE DOORS AND THE HOLY MAN LOOKED IN. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM WAS A LRAGE ROUND TABLE. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TABLE WAS A LARGE POT OF STEW, WHICH SMELLED DELICIOUS AND MADE THE HOLY MAN’S MOUTH WATER.
THE PEOPLE SITTING AROUND THE TABLE WERE THIN AND SICKLY. THEY APPEARED TO BE FAMISHED. THEY WERE HOLDING SPOONS WITH VERY LONG HANDLES THAT WERE STRAPPED TO THIER ARMS AND EACH FOUND IT POSSIBLE TO REACH INTO THE POT OF STEW AND TAKE A SPOONFUL. BUT BECAUSE THE HANDLE WAS LONGER THAN THIER ARMS, THEY COULD NOT GET THE SPOONS BACK TO THIER MOUTHS.
THE HOLY MAN SHUDDERED AT THE SIGHT OF THIER MISERY AND SUFFERING.
THE LORD SAID, ‘YOU HAVE SEEN HELL.’
THEY WENT TO THE NEXT ROOM AND OPENED THE DOOR. IT WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE FIRST ONE. THERE WAS THE LARGE ROUND TABLE WITH THE LRAGE POT OF STEW WHICH MADE THE HOLY MAN’S MOUTH WATER. THE PEOPLE WERE EQUIPPED WITHT HE SAME LONG-HANDLED SPOONS, BUT HERE THE PEOPLE WERE WELL NOURISHED AND PLUMP, LAUGHING AND TALKING. THE HOLY MAN SAID, ‘I DONT UNDERSTAND.’
‘IT IS SIMPLE,’ SAID THE LORD. ‘IT REQUIRES BUT ONE SKILL. YOU SEE THEY HAVE LEARNED TO FEED EACH OTHER, WHILE THE GREEDY THINK ONLY OF THEMSELVES.’
WHEN JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS, HE WAS THINKING OF YOU. ITS ESTIMATED 93% WONT FORWARD THIS. IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE 7% WHO WILL, FORWARD THIS WITH THE TITLE 7%.
I’M IN THE 7%
REMEMBER THAT I WILL ALWAYS SHARE MY SPOON WITH YOU.
fear, which is spelled f-e-a-r, stands for “False Evidence Appearing Real”.
for with God nothing shall be impossible. -Luke 1:37
The reason that I posted this is, that our friend Denny is entering into his own private personal Hell. His disease has advanced to the point that he can no longer use his hands for anything. We are desperately searching for some much needed assistance. If you have days off during the week, and would like to spend some quality time with Denny, then please give him a call. He needs assistance with common everyday tasks that we take for granted. The situation that he is faced with now, is that if we cannot get help during the work day he will have no choice but to be sent to a home/facility. Our goal is to keep him in his home as long as possible. But he needs all of his friends to pitch in at this point in his life.
If you are willing to share your spoon with Denny please call him or e-mail him at dmanwildchild@yahoo.com.
I know Denny has always been there for me and most of you. Together we can make this work to keep Denny happily at home as long as possible.
Thank You!

Denny – I will be praying with/for you and will visit you when I come to see my dad. Never forget that you are a book worth reading, a song worth singing and a movie worth seeing. Your life is a GIFT to the world. You will continue to bless the lives of many as your story is told.

….oh and remember to keep your faith in the impossible alive. God is a miracle worker. You shall get better, that is my confession and my prayer. You MUST get your story out of you and into the world.
