I had never heard of Chris Klicka until I saw his interview on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SBJjc45sg8). Wow, he’s definitely now one of my heroes. What a great perspective on life! Chris didn’t complain about his MS; he talked about how God was using it for His glory. What a great reminder to keep an eternal perspective in the inevitable trials in this life. Thanks Chris! And God bless the Klicka family.
