ALS story on PGA tour......
- Thread starter dr. freeze
- Start date
What a great inspiration this guy is to all golfers and to all athletes.He's going to play threw such pain and suffering..knowing he will die soon just cause he loves the game.Most people would lay at home or in a hospital waiting to die.Im cheering for him to make the cut.God be with you Jeff!!!!!!
yep....sometimes the best stories come when people are suffering.....not because they are suffering, but what we get to see through them when they are and how they affect our lives....
i am gonna spend my whole life trying to relieve suffering, and help people fight it (i believe all of us should live like this -- it is the most rewarding -- we can all help heal hearts, minds, feelings, and to some extent bodies), but eventually it is going to hit us all....one thing though that will make my job rewarding will be able to see the beauty of people as they endure hardship and demonstrate grace, courage, faith, and love.......
one of the reasons that i am very adament against euthenasia is because it assumes that everything that comes about from human suffering is bad.....i do not believe in that assumption.....i hate pain -- everyone hates pain -- but pain is something we all share in common and us human beings are so arrogant sometimes that being exposed to pain in our own lives or lives of others can make us humble in a hurry.....stories like this can make the most hardened of hearts become soft.....the guy who cares only about himself but as he sees a human life hanging upon the balance of every breath cannot help but be touched by the frailty of human life.....
sometimes it takes great tragedy to bring out the good in mankind.....this is so, because all men are cursed by being selfish by nature.....going through life's tough experiences and observing others go through them touches our hearts like a sharp toothed sword and brings out the best in humanity 100% of the time......
we are created to laugh with those of us who laugh, cry with those of us who are crying, dance with those of us who dance, rejoice with those who are rejoicing, grieve with those of us who are grieving, and hurt with those of us who are hurting.......living genuinely by these principles in our interactions with others leads to much fulfillment at the end of the day......

actually i should clarify the statement about"100%" of the time....there are obviously very unhealthy "tough situations" which many of us have gone through or have had to go though i.e. abuse, etc....
i meant more of a "healthy adversity" type of thing......

Jeff shot a +3 74 today.But I guarantee he smiled the whole time.Dr. good luck in your lifes work to help people.Just remember to help all people including SEC people since you hate them soo much.Just kidding....you seem like 2 different persons with the SEC sucks ass and then this down to earth story.Anyway lets hope Jeff makes his last dream and makes a cut.I believe he's got 2 more sponsor exemptions but his health is fading fast.He said on Golf channel that the back 9 is always a huge battle for him physically.How much inner stength he must have................
lol....forgot to mention in that last post that the SEC sucks ass!!!
remember: cheer with those who you cheer for, and root against those who you root against!!!.......lol

Our guy Jeff Julian fired another +3 74 today and missed the cut.I wish the PGA would give him more than 2 more sponser exemptions.He deserves it.
