From One Skateboarder to Another

A friend made a contact and Tony Hawk made a phone call to Andrew! Yesterday at 5:54 p.m. Tony Hawk called our home and asked to speak to Andrew. I had no clue who was on the other side of the line. But Andrew recognized the voice of Tony Hawk and they chatted for a few minutes. Thanks, Tony Hawk!
Thanks, Kathy for setting this up. And thanks to Paula, who weeks ago contacted Tony Hawk's "people" and Tony sent Andrew an autographed picture.
Andrew told me a few nights ago that he dreamed he was skatedboarding. I believe he will be on that board again! He has a vision and so do I.

  2. Oh how precious. The picture sure is priceless. Isn't it amazing how most of us don't even know each other (in person) but the Lord calls us to pray and encourage each other and we feel the need to do that. I know I do. :) I had been wondering how Andrew is and so glad you made a post. I continue to pray without ceasing. God Bless.
