  Matthew 5 46 If you love those who love you, what reward can you expect from that? Do not even the tax gatherers do that? 47 If you greet only the people you like, are you doing any more than others? The people who do not know God do that much.

  Bryan, that scripture came to mind when I read your story. Christlike love is showing it to strangers. I signed up for organ donation long before I became inactive. I even explored donating my marrow...I don't qualify unfortunately. But a live organ donation....the trouble I run into is that my insurance doesn't cover it. Was that an issue in your case?

  Thanks for all the nice thoughts.

  blondie,

  Oleg had travel insurance when he came here. It covered his dialysis, though did not cover organ transplant. The Texas Transplant Institute and doctors took Oleg on as a charity case. My being the donor didn't need any insurance.

  Oleg comes from a relatively poor family. His parents are divorced. His mother being an alcoholic disappears for months at a time. His father does odd jobs and watches over a small parking garage at night. In order to drink the water from their pipes made of asbestos, they first draw the water to a small trough behind the house and let it settle for a day or two. Once the sediments have fallen, they skim the water with a pail then boil it. After it cools, they let the sediments fall again, then poor the water into plastic containers and freeze it. Oleg says something about freezing it, forces even more sediment to be forced the bottom again. They take the frozen block out and cut the ice above the sediments. Now they can drink the water. When he returned
