Several years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Dale Price at a CCCA national convention. Dale is a good friend of Hal Hill's and has been the executive director at Canyonview Camp in Oregon for many years. Anyway, Hal asked if I minded if Dale joined our group for dinner. I said, "of course not, tell him come on". So Dale joined us that night and a new friendship was launched. Over the next couple of years it became a tradition for Dale to join the LifeWay group for dinner on our free night at the CCCA annual conference.
Less than a year ago Dale was diagnosed with an advanced stage of cancer and given very low odds for survival. He immediately began a very aggressive treatment of both radiation and chemo. Shortly after his diagnosis Dale launched a diary (link to Dale's page) on CaringBridge.org and I can't begin to tell you how inspiring it is to read. Dale and his lovely wife Ruby, are now living their lives in HiDef and he's doing a great job of chronicling that journey. God has not cured Dale, yet, but the faith that Dale and Ruby exhibit in this battle is certainly an encouragement to me.
Please take a moment to read a little of Dale's walk with our Lord. I promise you won't regret the time spent.
Dale, we're praying for you buddy. Hope to see you guys this year in Colorado Springs. Dinner's on me!
