Brandon Marshall is an 11 year old boy who is dying of Lukemia…he has one dying wish, to feed the homeless, this is a touching story that is well worth your time. Do you have a blog? Share Brandon’s story there. Vision can be shared from a hospital bed.
This is one more example of how Jesus will use anyone to bring about his plans and his purposes, he’ll even use the sick. If you think you’ve got it all together, you may just be eliminating yourself from being a candidate for Christ to use.
I think Brandon may ask, What’s Your Excuse for Sitting on your Butt?
P.S. You may need a box of kleenex.

This boy has been a complete inspiration!
Does his family have a blog, this boy is an angel on earth, and a lesson to everyone. I’ve been googling but no one else seems to be writing about him!
Incredible story!
Done. Stick a fort in me. I grew up at MCG and all my buddies were Lukemia patents. What a great kid! Great post Nick, one of your best…
Thanks Nick — this was very timely for me. This weekend, I went with the EMT mission group to feed the homeless in Billings, MT. Check out this post:

It was an amazing experience, and I hope to go back and do it again sometime —
Wow, too precious. And yes, I needed a tissue!
dude, when i saw that this morning on cnn i could not believe it. That kid is a giant of a man. my heart broke for him and was proud at the same time. amazing. i want to be like him when i grow up.
I just saw this story on the news and I cryed at just the beginning of it. I can’t believe that a child so young is dying… I also can’t believe that he has such an adult wish. I am 27 and if I were in his shoes I think my wish would be to live. He is such a gift from GOD. May God bless him and his family, may they have the strenth to deal with his death and truly thank god for the time that they had with him. My heart goes out to them, they are stronger then I would be. God Bless
