OK, y’all were serious. I cried almost from the beginning. I kept thinking, Holy Crap!, which perhaps was not the best response. But, wow. I will put on my jaded hat for a moment, though, to say that the $ appeal at the end diminished the impact, at least a little bit.
I couldn’t help but think of all the cardboard signs I could make, though.
I thought the same thing, but the power of those testimonials was POWERFUL. Such honesty, like baring your soul on stage. I wish that society didn’t condone such honesty, I think we’d be better people for it.
I couldn’t help but think of you, Susie, on the MS lady although I’m glad you have your Jif. And the one near the end had me thinking of Ms. Sharkey.
I’m very cynical about church these days, but this was definitely powerful. I do think it would have been better to stop it at the end of the carboards. For me the walk is very personal, and there are a lot of things about Christian churches that don’t sit well with me. But the message was definitely worth watching.
WOW! That was very moving and inspirational. I had chills and tears from the very beginning of it. THANK YOU for sharing. The b/f and I have been telling people that we weren’t “lucky” that we escaped Gustav with just downed trees and debris, we were blessed. I am very blessed and thank Him everyday for the blessings I have in my life. Now I’m thinking I need to get out some cardboard.

By the end, I could barely read the words through my tears. Thanks for sharing.

Oh yes, forgot to mention, “Grab your tissues!” I am evil. I need my own cardboard testimonial.

Are y’all serious? I don’t feel like crying now (again today), so I’ll come back later. Cardboard testimonial?

Oh you ARE evil. Geez I bawl over everything this week! Way to distract me from the impending doom of Ike and shift my focus to my security in God.

Crap. Now, I feel like I should go out & be a better person. Which is probably a sign that I could scoop up some cardboard & a marker, myself, huh?
FYI – the couple with 3 stillborn babies? I want to hug them.
