"Mark Herwaldt of Sugar Grove, Illinois, has been recording some of
the important moments of his life that occurred before ALS left him only
able to communicate with his eyes two years ago.
"But as the 57-year-old retired youth minister who can no longer move
his limbs, speak or eat on his own seeks to keep God at the center of
his life, the moment he's focusing on is the present moment.
"'We are not wishing to be somewhere else or with someone else,'
Herwaldt said recently. 'God gives us only so much time. He places us in
all kinds of situations or with specific people. We need to be present
to the moment at hand.'"
In a recent commentary, writer Susan Klemond reflected on the life and ministry of Mark Herwaldt as he continues his journey with ALS.
