Dalton is an amazing man. When he was just past fifty, he contracted a rare disease, the name of which takes two lines to write down. In effect, his organs have begun to reject his body, much as if he had had an organ transplant. He lost weight, he can no longer swallow or speak, and he is susceptible to every cold and virus that is going around. Yet Dalton is a trooper. He communicates well with lip movement and signs, plus a fancy computer that talks what he types (misspellings make some pretty interesting sounds!). He has taken on several jobs for the church, which he can do at home through his computer. But most of all, he is always smiling, ready to hug all comers. Dalton believes that he is blessed by God and so everything he does, every word he “speaks” is to be done in thanksgiving to God. Dalton pretty much personifies Paul’s exhortation to do all in the name of the Lord Jesus.
