Ministering to PALS and CALS (part I)

Several people on Facebook ALS groups have invited me to join. Most people are there to support one another. Some are PALS or family members, while others joined because a loved one died from ALS. Still, others participate to raise awareness of the disease or to raise funds for a cure. 

I follow a PAL on social media who's a Hospice Chaplain but resigned because he, too, had ALS. These people grew on me—I view them as family, though we haven’t met. We share a bond and a connection that reminds me of the Christian body of believers.
