Yeah …I’ve been doing this a while, but you have to remember, I majored in music and have no formal training in health care. I am the “William Huang” of health care!
If I can do it …others can, as well. Stay tuned to this blog, and I promise we will address and walk through scenarios that can help in virtually every situation.
Thanks for the comment Victoria!!

Great article and one anyone with a chronic illness certainly needs to read. The only thing I take exception to is “Regardless of what so called “experts” say, America’s health care system is not complicated …but it can be intimidating.” I do feel that our healthcare system is terribly complicated for those not use to navigating the system. Perhaps you are just a little too familiar with it. Regardless it is certainly intimidating! Good work Peter. I look forward to what is next.

Really good article Peter. As a member of the chronic heart disease condition club since 1998, I relate! God bless you and Gracie for using your gifts and experience to impact the Kingdom. Keep on pressing on brother!

Often when people write books …that is all they do, write words to tell a story. It gets the point across but leaves the reader with the thought of, “well, the story was good but they didn’t know how to tell it very well.” When I read the first page of your story, I realized I was not only going to get to hear the story of your lives, but it would able to read about and experience it through wonderfully written and crafted words. You two are gifted writers as well as musicians and speakers. I should not have been surprised; people who are artists in one area often find that those gifts translate into other areas. You translated!

Having heard you speak only hours before I started reading, I could clearly hear your voices in the words before me, hearing your laughter and feeling hot tears cried as I cried along with you. I literally devoured the book, often calling my husband into the room to read out loud to him passages that were especially meaningful.

Having a learning disability myself and receiving the criticisms of young children, I literally could have written the first part of your book myself (as so many could). I also have a mother who gave her all to make sure I succeeded. My voice was heard in a swimming pool and not a stage, like yourself. But I recognized the importance of having something you can succeed in to learn how to succeed in other areas. Thank you for sharing that part of your life. I found myself both hurting for you as a child as well as cheering you on as you found you voice on stage and in the classroom.

The most incredible thing to me about how you wrote the book was the way scripture was inserted into your story. It seemed to be written by you and not from the bible! I knew I was reading scripture, but you wove it into your book so beautifully that it was your story as well.

I have a feeling that your book, “Gracie, Standing with Hope”, will travel around the nation as families as are blessed by your story, and find hope in hopeless situations.
