| Hi Ron,
I just want you to know that I think you are terrific. Thanks for being such a great role model, especially to the kids you speak to in high schools, and for the children with special needs. You are an inspiration.
Rita on September 22, 2004 |
| Hi Ron, I think its great what you are doing for the people with special needs. you are a great inspiration to me and I hope you keep on doing what your doing.

| Hi Ron.. it was wonderful to meet you. I want to personally thank you so very much for all that you had done for my brother Harley Dover. You were such an inspiration to him. He is missed very much. Thank you for speaking on behalf of Harley and our family at his Memorial service there at Camp Attitude. I think the world needs more people exactly like you. You will always have a place in my heart. I want to congratulate you on your new BEAUTIFUL baby girl. Thank you again Ron, for EVERYTHING in everyway! Sherri Visele Harleys's Sister!
Sherri Visele on February 12, 2005 |
| Ron You are my hero man, thank you for all you do for people. The Lord has made you an example for all of us men to follow. Love you Phil Cole PS Gracie Lee is way to cute. Good work you two.
Phil Cole on February 12, 2005 |
| Hi brother Ron, Thank you for your very encourgeing message this morning on Issues In Education. I was so unhappy this morning regarding my marriage of seven years and wanted out. When you said its our attitude that can make or break us I decided to change my mind and accomplish the positive gifts that the Lord has given me, thats what you did and continue to do. What a giant and mighty man of valour you are to press your way through life, I do mean press. You received your masters,I didn't finish college for my AA with two legs and two hands what a pity because of my lousy attitude and call myself a believer at 58. Thank you for my new start in life once again. I will too appreciate what the Lord so graciously died for me to achieve and I will bless the Lord with the gifts He so lavished upon me. Love always......... Your sister in Christ Winnie

| Heard an interview of you on the radio. Decided to check you out. Came away from your website totally impressed. No one in this world has an excuse not to achieve great things. Gracie seems to be a crown and I couldn't suggest a better one! dsmetts

| Hi Ron, I too heard you on the radio this a.m. Issues in ed. You are a blessing and yes!, we all need an attitude adjustment most of the time. We are blessed also with a quad in our town, who like yourself has achieved her degree and is her own boss with a business of Christian counceling. She with her husband (who by the way, she was just 18 also and on her way to see him with his truck when she went off the road and flipped.) He has never complained or left her side and they are a true inspiration to us all as you are to all those who have seen or heard you. I love your art and will be ordering something soon, and also the smiley's. God Bless you all, (but HE already has)
Jackie on February 19, 2005 |
| Listening to CSN International radio, heard your story in Issues in Education broadcast. I was getting ready to workout when for some reason GOD wanted me to listen to this 2/19/05 broadcast. Wow, what an impact GOD has been in your life. I can't imagine how difficult the transition must have been for you, GOD certainly has made a difference in your life. If it wasn't for GOD's mercy and your positive attitude, life can certainly be bitter rather than better. Praise be to GOD for your witness and your perserverance..... Your treasures are piling up in HEAVEN!!!!!
Joe Walker on February 19, 2005 |
| Hi Ron! I was listening to the radio this afternoon in St. Louis, MO and heard a good portion of your interview with the commentator. Your story moved me to tears. Not because of what you can't do but because of what you have already done and continue to do. As well as how God is using you for his purpose - I'm very much involved with the brain tumor community and talk to patients and families regularly who deal with their setbacks and it all comes down to their attitudes. Their attitudes about their situation as well as their life. I will be sure to pass on your website to everyone I know - Your "never give up" attitude is a positive example to all of us and your are truly an inspiration. Your family is beautiful - the apple doesnt fall far from the tree :) - keep up Gods work and keep spreading the word. Your sense of humor is admirable as well and will have a far reaching effect in your organization. Thanks for sharing your touching story and spreading love to all you meet. Regards - Jeanne St. Louis, MO
Jeanne on February 19, 2005 |
| Hi Ron, I heard your interview on Christian radio this morning and went to your web site just to check you out. You bowl me over. I mean you are just outstanding and I wonder if it is the Lord Himself that gives you this wonderful attitude? You are an inspiration to all out here and a blessing to the world. I always told my kids that when Chris Reeves had his accident, God was using him for a purpose and to achieve a mission. His life became so much more valuable afterwards than it ever was before. I truly believe God is using you too, and I hope you will be known all over the world. You are loved by God so much and all of us too.
Kelly Cyr on February 19, 2005 |
| Hello Ron, I too heard your broadcast today on CSN today as I was getting ready for a ladies Biblestudy. I have been a little down in spirit b/c I am discontent with my life at times. I just thought I wanted something so bad that I convininced myself God was telling me that I would have it. (Long story) I know it is all for the best. I need to change my attitude. I just want you to know that you blessed me this morning with your testimony. God bless you- P.s. I must plug this tell all your friends about "One Night With The King" out this October see www.8x.com (The Biblical Story of Esther...)The cinematography is wonderful!
Esther Bautista on February 19, 2005 |
| I THANK GOD I FOUND YOU ON THE RADIO THIS MORNING. I HAVE NEVER BEEN A STRONG CHRISTIAN BUT YOU MAKE ME WANT TO GO BACK TO THE LORD. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR FAITH AND THE WORDS YOU SAID THIS MORNING. I HOPE I CAN BE HALF THE CHRISTIAN YOU ARE AND THAT WHEN I GET TO HEAVEN I WILL TELL GOD THAT YOU HELPED ME GET THERE. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS
LORNA JOHNSON on February 19, 2005 |
| I heard you on KWVE in Anaheim Calif. Thank you allowing the Lord to use you in so many ways. He who begun a good work in you will complete it until the day fo Jesus Christ. How easy it is to say "I love you Lord" when all things are going well. But how wonderful and how blessed we feel to Bless His holy name in everything, as Jesus our Lord said "Shell I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me?" Your story has blessed my life and I will share it to bring hope to others. Thank you. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Congratulations to you and your wife on your new baby!
Silvia on February 19, 2005 |
| Hi Ron, 20 Feb.05 Just heard you interviewed on radio. You are trully an inspiration. May God continue to richly bless your life and thank you for being such a wonderful testimony for Jesus. Steve B.
Steve Barnhill on February 20, 2005 |
| Hi Ron, We heard you on CSN this morning on the way to church. Needless to say we cried all the way to church. You are an inspiration to so many and when I find someone who's life is falling apart because their car won't start I can't wait to have them log on to your site. God's Blessings on you Bro.
Leon & Robin Hamm Myrtle Beach SC on February 20, 2005 |
| Hi Ron I heard your message today on the radio. I had to stop at the office and look at your website. Sometimes we need not only hear but see the message. God has truly given you the spirit of ATTITUDE. I will pass your website along to everyone who thinks life is tough. Life is tough but with the right ATTITUDE life is GREAT. May God continue to bless you so he may bless us through you. Thank you D.P.
David Pike on February 20, 2005 |
| Hi Ron i loved your presentations can't believe your attitude but i know that you are a miracle in your outlook and your spirit GOD can do in us all, another thing i was thinking is that most of the people living in the USA are special needs people who needsto hear you and make there bitter heart negative mind be transformed by GOD into a thankful persons for all that they have and can do, but until God changes people they will not get better. love you Dennis
Dennis Hancock on February 20, 2005 |
| Hi Ron, Just want to say thank you for letting the Lord,work through you to touch the hearts and lives of so many others. God does work in mysterious way huh? I was driving down the frewway in Southern Calif.listening to you on KWAVE, having a pity party, when I heard you and your testimony. Your right life is a attitude and you help change mine, I have so much to be grateful for. Thank You, Merita

| I hear you on Air One radio this AM. before I went to church. I was at my job with the radio on. There were several other people who entered my office right after you went off and I told them the story. Needless to say we were all in tears. I am so much more thankful for all I have, and to be able to do for myself. I am ashamed of how much I sometimes whine and feel sorry for myself if I am hurting or feeling bad and still have to go to work. May God forgive us all, who are whiners instead of workers in His field. I have made a new commitment to be more for Him than I ever have before. Thank you and God bless you. My dad had to have both legs amputated, 5 inches of his spine removed and later he broke his right arm and it never healed. I admire your strength, just as I did his. He welded all hand controls on his tractor and worked untill the Osteomylitis got so bad that he had to quit. He died at age 59. He was a deacon in the Methodist church and a wonderful Dad.Keep rollin' on!

| Hi Ron, My mother in law heard your show while traveling on the way in Tennessee sat. night and briefly told your story and mentioned your site... It is really amazing what you have accomplished since God put you down a different path (which has probably become a much more of a blessing). My husband is also in a wheelchair but is paralyzed from the waist down... and through his mom and dad and the last 9.5 yrs has also the same attitude that you have to keep trudging through because you will survive with HIM... You have a wonderful website and paint some BEAUTIFUL pictures and even more special that half is upside down... As for Gracie... she is beautiful as are the other of your wonderful girls... congrats to you and your wife -- many prayers out to her that she keeps her sanity which like your book probably keeps her "rollin' on"... Thanks so much for your inspiration... April
April Blanton on February 21, 2005 |
WOW! I HAD NO IDEA SO MANY PEOPLE WOULD VISIT MY SITE. GOD BLESS EACH ONE OF YOU. YOUR WORDS MOVED ME BIG TIME.... I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS GOING TO AIR DOES ANYONE HAVE CONTACT INFO? I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO AND DVD OF MY LIFE NOW. VERY WELL DONE. A GUARANTEED INSPIRATION. KEEP IN TOUCH RON
RON HEAGY on February 22, 2005 |
| Hi Ron, We were sitting at the computer and decided to check out your web site. We want to say congradulations on your new baby girl! Kevin just got his new portable eyegaze computer today how excited we are! It still has to be figured out wether he needs a new wheelchair or not. Kevin will be 21 in May, still has the best and most positive attitude of anyone I know. If we come to Oregon this summer maybe Kevin will be able to set up a visit with you. Take care the MOrgans
susan and kevin morgan on February 23, 2005 |
Dearest Ron, You surely are an inspiration! I was so touched by your book. When I would hear people say that they couldn't put a book down, I would think, "Gee! I can't imagine feeling like that!" I'm not a reader; but believe me, I couldn't put YOUR book down! I couldn't wait to get to the next chapter. I would think: "Oh, dear...what kind of trouble is he going to get into now!" You always had obstacles; yet, by the grace of God, you were always able to overcome them! I even took your book with me in the car so that when I had to stop for a light, I could squeeze in another paragraph! Sometimes, I would have to close the book for a minute to compose myseslf, as I would be crying and couldn't see the words! I go around telling EVERYBODY about you, your beautiful family! Your family is so beautiful! So glad you and Kelli liked the babyshower gift! Hope you've received our donation! When I visit Michele, my daughter, and my precious grandchildren, Nicole, Lauren and Bryant in June, I hope we can get to see you! I would be sooooo excited! I have been telling EVERYBODY in the world that you called me! Now, I really feel special! Thanks, also, for putting your book on tape. Now, my two blind friends can listen to your book! May God bless you and Kelli for all you do for everyone! We love you! Sadie and Walt Witz, Baltimore, Maryland (Michele Lack's parents) :>) I'll keep spreading the word so that people will order your DVD, books and tapes! My daughter, Dawn, who lives here in Baltimore, ordered your books and loved reading about you.

Jacob Ford on March 1, 2005 |
| Hi Ron, I heard you speak yesterday at the IBI Forum in LA and I can't tell you how much you touched my heart. Not only is your life an example of simply living life to the fullest (simple in concept, not so simple in action) no matter what, it is an example of love. Love for ourselves in order to serve in a world tainted by fear and resistance. I thank you for sharing so openly and inspiring not only my personal & spiritual life but my professional life in some descisions I have been putting on the shelf for far to long. It was a wake up call! Please keep waking us up, we need you!
Kim Soteros, LA Conference March 4, 2005 on March 5, 2005 |
| Hi Ron, I heard your testimony and commets on the Calvary Network Radio station a few weeks back on a Sat. Morning. I was deeply touched by your words, stories, and over all character. You are a great inspiration. As I continued to listen, I did not want your session on the air to end. I nearly cried when I heard you share about Kevin, the kid that is paralyzed from the nose down. It really made me think of how ungrateful I am to be able to do all the physical things I can do. I just wanted to let you know that you are a true blessing to us all and I hope that God continues to bless you with His work and I hope to have the privilege of meeting you someday.

| Hi Ron, I am from Guatemala, I read your book in spanish and then in english!! I guessed you were words from God telling me to never give up when I needed it the most. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I always tried to read it if I feel down. You are a truly inspiration for me!! God bless you and your family.
Carolina on March 9, 2005 |
| Ron, It was such a thrill to connect with you again at IBI. I read 3/4 of your book in a single sitting and felt like I knew you right to the core. As we mentioned at IBI, I am going to present you tomorrow as a potential spokeperson for the VERB Campaign sponsored by the CDC to promote kids to play and erercise all summer. Who could better make them appreciate their opportunities to be active than you? Paula, the Frumple Queen, is working to design a Frumple in a wheelchair that could be used by you and others to promote sensitivity toward your missions and reach out to others with hope and a smile. I also hope that you are able to further connect with Charlie, the fellow I introduced to you with the lifting mechanism at the EXPO on Saturday. God bless you in all you do! Congratulations to you and Kelli on GRACIE!!

| My mother in law gave me your book for Christmas and i couldnt put it down,It was wounderful.Im sry about the bird at the beach pooping on your head.

| Ron, I saw you in person at a seminar in 1999. It is now March 13th, 2005. I have had you crosses picture signed up on my wall and in my possession for years. It is a touching blessing to see your new child and your face again. Praise our wonderful father for his love and demonstrating his amazing grace in your life. I'm so glad you are still living and touching peoples lives! God bless you brother:)

| Hi Ron I heard you talk at our IBI forum in Ca. you are a wonderful and inspired speaker. I am telling everyone who buys a candle from me that I am donating $1.99 of each sale to you so we can have you here in Ohio to talk to some of our youth. I do believe live is not about circumstances that you are in but your choices as an adult that will determine your circumstance. Your choices after your accident is what created such a fine young man and what a beautiful wife and baby you have

| Hello Ron: I stumbled on your web site looking for Mouth Art (prints of mouths literally.) Your art is amazing! I love the barn and the 9-11 flag. (Where are the originals!?) Simply in awe that you draw with your mouth. Your book looks fascinating. Good for you that you are out there spreading hope. What a blessed way to spend a life and what a blessing you must be to everyone who knows you. I'll surely spread your word. Hope I get to see you speak some time. All the best. Annie Kelly
Annie Kelly on March 17, 2005 |
| ron i have heard so much about your teachings, message to never give up. sadly i have not had opportunity to hear you myself. my husband will this coming may at a mens retreat cant wait to hear what he says and to add his post it to your book. god bless you.
lucinda young on March 21, 2005 |
| Ron, During your living years, always help the people that need help, joke with the people who need laughter, love the people that love you. Never live for yourself because yourself is just one person, one set of ideas and values that could work for nobody else. Be PROOF of the principles you believe in, and not a person who don't follow his own ideas. Live by integrity and justice, they will make you better off. Jon Feucht mt7:7-11
Jon Feucht on April 2, 2005 |
| Hello there ron, You gave us a VERY GREAT speech lastnight and i know for a fact that it touched everybody's hearts and made them relize life more better. I will always remember your words and i will think of what you said when i feel like giving up or anything. well TAKE CARE & GOD BLESS thanks alot!

| Your speech at our school last night was really insperational and I would just like to thank you very much for stopping by. I'm an artist my self and I was extreamly imprest by your art work. I've been painting for a while now and I was surprised to see how tellented you are. Especially since you've never painted before your accident! I just really appreciate you stopping by and I wanted to let you know that, thanks to your speech, I look at life in a much more positive way now. So roll on Ron! And once again, thank you.
Chris R. on April 7, 2005 |
| Hey Ron, I want to thank you for that inspiring speech of not giving up on life on life, here at Chemawa. you're story had touched my heart and others. i look at me life in a different way now, thank you Ron and keep on rolling.
Sonya.S. on April 8, 2005 |
| Thank you for giving a good speech here at Chemawa on Wednesday. I watched the movie of you but only 15 mins. because it was during lunce time. Will you keep up with your speeches. Will i gotta go now. KEEP ON ROLLING ON. Once again thank you for coming here for IRG.
Fred K. on April 9, 2005 |
| i think what I really most appreicate from you and your sites is the spirit of hope and perserverance of optimism without the use of God or other spiritual figures-as I am an athiest and think one can be attitude building without reliance on that-when I watched your video it was free from those things therefore your message is indeed universal- I'm also an art teacher and would love my kids to see your work on the net-so I will plan a library class soon-I also am an artist-check me out at soulart.com-also I think your mom has a great warmth to her and how she kind of laughed when she mentioned before the accident you were not interested in art-but your art is on such a high level so it was always in you-also it's so true we all suffer from a disability-emotional is more paralyzing the physical-I know that----jack
jack saltzberg on April 10, 2005 |
| Hey Ron, You were such an inspiration to me when you came to my school in Yreka, Ca. I recently moved to Oregon and have been waiting for my computer to be up so I could come here and tell you how different me and my friends down there act towards one another. I thought it was amazing when you told us about your little brother saving your life! There were sad parts in your speech that had all of us crying and there were also happy ones that had us all laughing! I loved the story about when you were in the mall! I am so glad that you have gotten all this way! You are such an inspiration!! Love, Jessica
Jessica Tanner on April 12, 2005 |
| Ron, I was blessed yesterday by meeting you and hearing your amazing story of hope, love, faith and perseverance. Your life was impacted by others reaching out to you in love. You are reaching out to others in love and God guides you through this journey. I was so pleased to hear you say you could do none of this without God. He is an amazing God and his plans for us are so difficult to understand in times of loss. He turns the pain and sorrow into blessings and the tears to tears of joy and gives us an abundant life full of meaning and purpose, joy, love and compassion. Your life so beautifully demonstrates how one one person touches another to bring understanding and God's message to "love one another". God bless you and your family and all those who cross your amazing path.
Jane Riley-Pugh on April 19, 2005 |
| Dear Ron: I heard you speak at the A.M. and P.M. service at Westley United Methodist Church in Sioux City, Iowa. I was inspired by seeing and hearing you - have told many people about you. Donated one of your books to a "support group" library. I am wondering if your third book has been printed and how I might get it. Best Wishes and God's blessings, Darlene Smith arev2600@aol.com
Darlene Smith on April 22, 2005 |
| Hello Ron, I heard you speak recently in Palm Springs and was inspired by your message. I have young grand daughters and just purchased a copy of your DVD for each of these families. Life so often focuses on the negative. I want my grand daughters to know that they have choices in life. They have the choice to say no to the negative influences that surround them and to make a difference. I also took your message to heart for myself as I work through some of my own issues. Good bless you and your wonderful family for spreading your message.

| Ron Hi I saw your video the other day that i got and was really moved. I have a few friends with disabilities too and will pass it along to them as well to lift there spirits. I have your book also and plan to read it so hopefully start on that soon. I would like to read but have to finish one that I started a while back first. I read a few of your articles on here and signed up on your newsletter to get more info you write on. The article on "What If" was very good and so true. We need more outspoken people to speak up. Oh, can you send me your new article you mentioned at the top of this page. "The Assassination of a Disabled Man's Dream" I didnt see it posted anywhere and I just signed up on your newletter so maybe I missed it from a past issue. Maybe you can post more. I like articles on current issues we face in the world today. It is good to keep up on current affairs or we will end up the minority and lose our right to life. Thanks brother. Look forward to reading more of your work. My email is: stevewillard56@yahoo.com

| Hey Ron, I heard you speak last night at the all area youth rally; at Sheperd of the Valley Church, and also today at Tahoma Jr High. Thank You SOOO much for coming and sharing your story. It impacted me and MANY others greatly. It made me realize that even things that seem bad can be changed if you have a good attitude towards it and faith in God. You also showed me that having a relationship with God is very important to my life and those of my friends around me. Listening to you speak made me think about stupid things I have done to fit in. I've realized it doesn't matter what people think as long as you are who you want to be and are happy. That's all that matters! Through your talk last night I also realized that the attitude I have towards things and the choices I make are all up to me. No one else can make them for me. After last night me and a whole bunch of my friends had a talk about what you had said and we were all really inspired by the gift that God has given you, and the great work your doing for him. Thank you again for giving my friends and I a new perspective on life. God Bless, Kelly

| Hi Ron and your family! I was glad that I got to listen to all of you at Tahoma Junior High School in Maple Valley. It was very moving with all of those emotional storys. Although, I will never do drugs, alchol, or anything else that will abuse me physically or emotionally, but your speaking will give me even more reasons why I shouldn't do any of those things. Well thankyou for reading this comment and even more of a thankyou for speaking to me and my fellow class mates. God Bless!

| Hey you are really inspiring, I was one of those kids that shut down I never wanted to actully kill myself but I shut down I went dead. All this happend because of a bad choice I made and it effected someone dear to me and when it effected that person, that person hit me hard with a comment and from then on I was down, after I heared you today I felt I knew what my life has to be for and what I have to do. I'd love to talk to you my e-mail is austinyoungb@hotmail.com Thank you so much for coming and speaking

| Hey Ron!!! I was at that assembly that you did at Tahoma Jr. High School today, and I was very touched by it. I have been a Christian for about 3 years, but I have said some bad things to my parents. Your speech opened my eyes to how much saying bad things can affect others. It made me realize that I shouldn't keep talking bad to my parents. Your speech convinced me to change my attitude twords my parents, and I thank you for that. I was also amazed at how awesome your paintings are!!! I wish that I could paint like that!!! Also, thanks for mentioning in your speech about how people shouldn't shut themselves out and do drugs and stuff, because a lot of people at my school needed to hear that. You are such an awesome person, and I hope that you keep on touching people with your stories. God Bless You!!! Jaclyn Shorter P.S. If you get a chance to, then please e-mail me. I would love to hear from you!!! My e-mail address is: horsechic1990@yahoo.com

| Hey Ron! I was at the Tahoma Junior High (Maple Valley, WA.) speech you gave today... I just want to say that it really touched me.. It's cool to know that even though youve been through so much, you go on successfully... I think it is truely amazing.

rachael on May 12, 2005 |
| Hey, Ron! I go to Renton Christian School and heard you talk on Wednesday. I am only in the first grade, but I really liked what you said. It must be hard to type and paint using your mouth. Your pictures are great. I am going to try to buy something from you. Thank you for taking time to talk to us. God bless you. I'll remember you in my prayers.
Austin on May 12, 2005 |
| Hey ron I was at one of yor speeches at tahoma jr. high on thursday and you were great you inspired me not to do anything stupid tanks again!!!!~kelsey~
kelsey on May 13, 2005 |
| Hey Ron! When I went into the gym at my school, Tahoma Jr. High, I had no idea I would come out feeling so inspired. Your story is truly amazing, and everything you said really made me think. A couple days ago I had a huge fight with someone in my family, and I really hurt his feelings. I went to school the next day without even saying a word to him. Luckily, when I got home he was there, and I apologized. The day after, you came and shared all of your stories, it really hit me how much damage I could've done. Not only are you an amzing man, you're funny too. I'm proud of you and your family, thankyou.
Lindsey <3 on May 13, 2005 |
| hi~ i dont really know what to say but you were really good when you went to tahoma jr. high school and you touch many people including me very much and i though it was funny when the pelican "dropped a load" haha i though that was funny but i just though i should tell you that im very glad you were there and i was there to see you! thank you...
kellie mcbride on May 13, 2005 |
| you have some really good art that is really cool that you have those skills, alisha I think it is awsome that you do not let your disability get you down. you take advantage of your disability, not let your disability take advantage of you. you inspire me. i think if i was in your situation i would have given up a long time ago. i will take the experience of knowing about you with me through the hard lessons life may bring to me and then be able to think if someone like you can be better than me by the way you live your life than i can go furthur than i had imagined. take care and thank you for speaking out to me even though we did not speak, jeannette
alisha johnson, richard hiebert, jeannette asher on May 13, 2005 |
| Hi i am from Tahoma jr high.I just wanted to say you are freakin awsome!!!!!!!!You really inspired me to look at life in a different direction. Thank you Ron! I love you man! Mike
Mike on May 14, 2005 |
| Ron and Family~ Thank you so much for taking the time to come to Tahoma Jr. High. It is great that you are sharing your story. Your speech made me look at how I, and people in general, treat others who are different. You guys are such great people, Gracie is lucky to have such great parents!
Amy Euting on May 14, 2005 |
| Hey i think that your story has helped me with my problem and that u have it way worse than i ever could. your speech was very funny,and sad but most of all i think it taught me about a few things like to always be your self and dont mind what every one else says and that to always follow what your heart tells you. Thank you Ron and never give up hope.
Kurt Van ausdal on May 14, 2005 |
| hey i think it was really nice of you to come and talk at our school... i tryed to write my name with a sharpie in my mouth and i couldnt do it!! i just think thats amazing that you can paint really really good paintings with a brush in your mouth.

Alyssa Simmonds on May 18, 2005 |
| Ron you spoke at my school Tahoma Junior High in Maple Valley. You were differnt than any other disabled person i've ever seen or heard. You had a voice that sounded as dear as if you weren't disabled. You had a feel that it was all right to be the way you are a feel of ,you just have to make the best out of life. I guess want im trying to say is you are AWESOME! and this isnt coming out of a geeks mouth im one of the popular types. Ron you are an inspiration to all disabled or not. I use your techniques of living life and living it right all the time and I thank you very much. Untill next time ima roll on RON
Allen Mooney on May 18, 2005 |
| Hi Ron, you came to my school Tahoma Jr. High and gave a speach that moved everybody. I just want to say thank you and say NEVER GIVE UP. LIFE IS AN ATTITUDE!!!! I think life is a rollercoaster for everyone.

Kelsey Schoonover on May 21, 2005 |
| I'm from Montreal, Canada and just hazardly got to your site for the first time. I'm really impress about who you are and what you do for people. The world needs so much people like you, who make people better and give them a new way to see life. You give back hope and dreams to everyone, which are the most important things in life, but that are so hard to keep. Just continue to do what you do so well and congratulation for your family and for what you became: an inspiration for the whole world. You really made me stronger just with what I have read today. Thank you so much and don't leave up!
Sandrine Marcotte on May 21, 2005 |
| Whether or not a compliment is coming out of a popular mouth or a geek mouth its still equally valuable. I just wanted to point that out to the guy who seems to think that his popularity makes his words more special than other people's. Obviously he needs to hear a speech on equality.
Lindsey on May 21, 2005 |
| Please continue selling on your web site your books on tape (audio books) especially if you narrate. Your message is much more powerful when you tell the story in your own words. Your family is beautiful. You are truly blessed. My two sons who are both Eagle Scouts both have two different eagle drawings of yours. We framed them and they are hanging in their rooms. My daughter saw you speak at her school, Evergreen Middle in Colorado. Best Wishes and Continued Success!
Lisa Karres on May 22, 2005 |
| Hi Ron. I just saw your site and think it is great. What do you mean you that you are not affiliated with Camp Attitude anymore and dont support it or agree with its leadrship? On your other webpages you promote it and say you started it but now dont agree with it. What happened? Please let us know on here. Thanks, Mary
Mary on May 22, 2005 |
| Hey ron you are so inspiring to me that i total understand you. You can make things so much interesting to me. i always saw wheel chair people as weird but now they are so cool that i cant make funny of them anymore. my brother is to.

| Hi Ron. My Divorce/Loss group just viewed your DVD last night. We were all awestruck and amazed and lifted by all that you have done! God Bless You. I have just ordered the DVD and plan on sharing it with my family. Randy Delise Roseville, Ca.

| Hi Ron, Your Grandma lent me your book to read, (Theresa Buckmaster) and what a wonderful Grandma/person she is!. I'm dating your cousin Brian. I just finished the 3rd chapter and already feel inspired by you and your brother. I must say you are very Special and Blessed to have been "chosen" to save so many lives. I thank God for you and I add you to my prayers. I'll be in touch again. God Bless You Ronnie. Sincerely, Laura Mottai

| My dad read your book in two nights and couldn't put it down. Now I've got it and just started reading it last night. I liked your forward from Joni Tada. I so admire her through all these years. I know the Lord will continue to use you as you put Him first in your life. Congrats to you and your family on your new baby girl. That is so exciting. I plan to order some of your art work and proudly display it in my home. God's richest blessing upon you each and every day.
Gayle Terry (Seattle) on June 2, 2005 |
After hearing you speak in Denver a few years back and after reading your book I am totally confused! Why do you not talk about Christy and Roni anymore? Are you no longer with them? I think you owe it to your readers to EXPLAIN what is going on. What happened with you and Camp Attitude? We all make mistakes but we all need to own up to them also. I feel betrayed by lending out your book to some young friends if it is not longer the truth. -Ginger Johnson, Denver, CO
RON"S RESPONSE.........
Dear Ginger,
I appreciate your concern but I am wondering why you have not tried to call or send me your e-mail address before making such a public assumption. You stated that you heard me speak 3 years ago and life does change. My book has been revised. I have experienced a divorce. I have resigned from the camp, and whenever I speak, I clarify any concerns. Roni is doing great, she just turned 5 yrs. I truly feel that one needs to overcome their past, and to not bring up human issues and mistakes, unless there is a need for clarification. That is why I am writing this to you here. If you need more clarification, please contact me directly, at ron@rollonron.com so that we can communicate further. Just click on my Contact Tab on this site and all contact information is available. P.S. I would love to send you a revised book, the one that is advertised on this site. Sincerely, Ron

| GOOD DAY! Sir I am a Filipino Christian and was astounded and really touched when I read your book Life is an Attitude! I am ignoring the book and my cousin found it in a book sale. During the weekends, I just scanned it. But there is something about it that I read all the contents and never stopped until I've finished it. I was crying after reading it. I was touched by your story. You're really an extra ordinary man deserved to be praised and loved. I Love You! I have learned a lot of lessons and promised to myself to do good to others without regrets. Please keep in touch with me and I just want to receive a newsletter if you have. Thanks for having time to read my message. I wish I could have the second book of yours. It's very difficult to find it here in the Philippines! Someday, I will be like you spreading the word or God through good works and helping hands. I am also a teacher like you and wanted to travel abroad to help people who are underpriviledged. I know God has good plans for me, just like you. Please pray for me and for my country. I wish someday you could come here in the Philippines. Keep in touch. My email add is michellesanjuan03@yahoo.com. I love you in the name of the Lord! sincerely, Michelle

| Hi Ron Just wanted to say I just saw your story on a show here in australia. It was just what i needed to see to wake me up to myself. I have been a paraplegic for 10 years and until that moment had never really accepted it or the fact that life goes on. Thanks for being such an inspiration and thanks to god for making me change the channel at the right time.

| Hi Ron: I saw an article in the Decision Magazine of July 1997 entitled "I have a reason to go on." I used it in my Bible Study then, and I kept the article, and everytime I come across it I think of you and how you are doing. I searched the web and found your site, and I see how the Lord has been using you among the teens. I am going to quote you; I HAVE LEARNED THAT WHEN THINGS FALL APART, OTHER THINGS THAT ARE BETTER COME ALONG. THE SUN GOES DOWN AT NIGHT, BUT IT COMES UP AGAIN IN THE MORNING. You truly are an inspiration. God Bless You, as I am sure that He is doing. God is truly with you.
angie bortoluzzi on June 21, 2005 |
| Hi Ron, First of all I would like to Congratulate you and your family on the birth of your beautiful, new daughter. (My daughters name is also Grace)! I have finished your book, Never Give Up. WOW. almost speachless. I know you don't want people feeling sorry for you but i must tell you, my heart breaks for you and what you have went through. Not in the way of pitty, but more in a very deep, spiritual, compassionate way. There is a list of words i would use to describe you a mile long! all wonderful :) (courageous, Blessed, inspiring, funny, handsome, etc.etc.etc.) but the best one is Love. You are so loved and you have loved so many, so graciously. You're a Great human being and I thank God for your gifts. Your book has no doubt changed the way i look at life. Thank you. I hope someday to meet you. It would be an honor. Sincerely, Laura also, I want to mention that your artwork is fantastic! Your new piece, American Eagle is Great! I too am an artist. if you'd like to check my art out it's at, www.lauramottai.com Thanks. Roll on Ron!!!! :)
Laura Mottai on June 22, 2005 |
| Ron, Below is a copy of an e-mail that I sent you today, 6/23/05. Ron, My name is Larry Buttel and I'm a teacher/training technician at Centennial Job Corps Center in Nampa, Idaho. I had the privilege of hearing you in Nampa, Idaho a few years back and was moved enough to buy your book and VHS tape. I have showed it to students from time to time (along with Homeless to Harvard). Most recently, we've been watching in our Job Club; which is a transition preparation class focusing on interviewing, resumes, and preparing for life after Job Corps. I'm sure you're familiar with Job Corps and the good things we do. The audience that you could possible reach need to hear your message more than any. Some of their stories would rip your heart out and the more positive messages like yours can give hope in a dim time. Hence, I am extend to you and invitation to speak at one of our monthly graduation ceremonies. We conduct our graduations on the fourth Thursday of each month celebrating the students' accomplishments at completing their vocational trade, or receive their GEDs or even their high school diplomas. (The standard is that most of these kids have never really achieved or finished anything and we celebrate those accomplishments.) This a short but extremely valuable ceremony that would be greatly enhanced by your presence and inspirational message. We understand how busy you must be, but if you could find an opportunity in the future, we would prove to both gracious host and hungry recipients of your inspirational message. I really appreciate your taking the time to read this memo, and if the stars align, we will hear from you. Until then, cordially yours, Larry D. Buttel Teacher, Richard McKenna Charter High School at Centennial Job Corps Center, Nampa, Idaho (208) 442-4500 ext 4110 Buttel.Larry@jobcorps.org l.buttel@att.net

| HI RON and KELLY and precious beautiful daughter! We just returned home from the AIM Health Conference in Tucson AZ where you spoke... Thank you both so much for traveling so far to Bless us. For sharing your story with us and the Blessed Sunday message too! We are eternally Grateful to God for your lives, testimony, commitment and courage! Your message reached into the depths of our souls and spirits changing how we think and feel forever! You challenged us, motivated us, reached us at a deeper level that most never knew existed! Thank you more than you'll ever know! With our Love and Prayerful Support... Sincerely, Dave and Linda Cole

Carol Rolle on June 29, 2005 |
| Hello. I saw you speak once, and it didn't inspire me at all. It just gave me the reason to believe that you are a money making machine. What makes you so special from the hundreds of other Quadripalegics in the world who were probably in more devastating accidents? There are also a lot of people who can write and paint with their mouths. Your art... doesn't really inspire me, either. It's just a personal preference. It doesn't make me feel anything. Nothing like Van Gogh or Dali or guys like that. I'm very appreciative of art, and you stuff just doesn't do it for me. Also, I've read bits of your book, and it was really boring. I love reading, and I love literature etc, but your book... put me right to sleep. ANYWAY, I'm not here to constructively criticize you, I wanted to mainly ask what makes you so different from the other quadripalegics in the world? I mean, perhaps if your art was inspirational or your writing, or your speaking (which just caused me to sit in confusion, because you weren't even coherent, let alone inspirational.) then there would be reason to acknowlege you. Well, all the best of luck to you, and your future in whatever you do. Sincerely, Ashley
Hello Ron Heagy on June 30, 2005 |
| Hello Ron: WOW! You have touched my heart deeply. I have just returned home from the Aim Convention in Tucson, Arizona and what a privelidge and honor to meet you. You have totally inspired me and helped me to realize that life is an attitude and there is nothing impossible with God in the drivers seat. Your beautiful wife Kelly and darling little baby girl are indeed treasures from heaven. May God continue to bless you and your family richly.
June Poswiata - July l, 2005 on July 1, 2005 |
| Ron, Thank you for speaking to us at the YFCI General Assembly in Colorado Springs. Meeting you, your wife and beautiful FOUR daughters was inspirational. Your message was a blessing, your wife is simply AMAZING and your four daughters are precious! My husband and I are also from Oregon, Scio & Milwaukie, & we also have four daughters. I have an incredible student, Justin Sanborn, who I am excited to introduce to your website. He has been such an inspriation to me and his fellow High school students this year!! He just graduated from high school and wants to become a minister of the gospel! My niece has a close friend named Robbie who had an accident when he was 16 that shut down his skateboarding, guitar playing dreams, but did not destroy his positive attitude toward life. Ron, your attitude and the attitude of these young men are something for the world to see! Thank you for sharing your story with us! (I'm looking forward to hearing you speak again tonight.) :-)
Renee Wurgler on July 4, 2005 |
| Hi Ron: Just wanted to thank you for blessing us at the AIM International Convention in Tucson Arizona, June 22-26, 2005. We, as convention attendees, had no idea you were going to be speaking to us, and of course no idea of the impact your words and your life would have on us as individuals and as the AIM family. We will NEVER give up. The world needs our health message and our products. It IS up to each one of us to know our purpose, and to live on purpose no matter what happens. Thank you for sharing yourself, your message, your family and your heart with us. You are loved and appreciated.
Dr. John Shewfelt on July 7, 2005 |
| Ron, I heard you speak a number of years back. Afterwards, I was speechless. What do you say to a guy who has it "all together"? So I said something stupid like: 'Thank youu; I really enjoyed your speech". Not that I didn't mean it, but that was so flat compared to all that ran thru my brain. My son, 11 1/2 now, still has the Mr. Smiley you autographed for him. Sadly, your autograph was accidentally washed off at day-care. He still remembers when we heard/saw you. Thanks for being such an inspiration. BTW -- he was only 3 when he saw you. God bless, Barbara
Barbara on July 17, 2005 |
| Ron, I heard you speak at Tahoma Junior High in Wa, and I bought one of your post cards. I am meaning to give it to my grandmother who has sweets disease as a reminder that although things are thrown your way that may hold you back you dont have to stop going. Thank you again for helping me see that it isn't the end. Thank you!

| Hola, Dios te Bendiga Ron Heagy... ¡Gracias por Existir! Soy un Jóven de 28 años, vivo en Cerro Azul, Veracruz, México... y déjame contarte como supe de tí... he estado pasando por una etapa de desesperación, también soy cristiano. Y siempre voy a una librería cristiana pero nunca compro muy pocos libros, sólo Discos Compactos.. hace 1 semana Dios puso en mi corazón el deseo de buscarle más, pero yo no podía... fui a la librería y revise los libros... y Dios me señalo el libro que tenía que leer... ese es: "Actitud ante la Vida".. y lo leí en 3 días.. y de verdad, Dios me ha hablado a través de tu testimonio... Actualmente soy maestro de computación y comento con mis alumnos algo de literatura o testimonios... y para mí eres una fuente de inspiración, Dios te ha puesto para bendición de muchos, nó sólo en tu país... sino para el resto de muchas almas... Quiero decirte que Dios cumple su propósito en tí.. al leer en su palabra "... y me sereis testigos hasta lo último de la tierra". Ron Heagy... Dios Bendiga a toda tu familia... Te desea tu hermano en Cristo.

| Hi Ron! I have had the pleasure of hearing you speak twice now (once at my church in Meridian - Living Grace Community Fellowship - and most recently at Round Valley Camp near Cascade, Idaho) and I am now reading your book. I also just ordered a copy of your book and had it sent to my brother-in-law who is in prison in Texas and has had more than his share of hard knocks in his life, and I know he will also be inspired by your life and your incredible attitude. I have been greatly inspired by your message and appreciate your responding to God's calling to share your story with others. Both times I heard you speak you touched my heart deeply, and I can't wait to hear you speak the next time. I also have a teenage son who has heard you speak both times, and the last time his girlfriend was with us as well. You spoke briefly about sexual purity and how a boy should treat a girl as the daughter of God that she is, and I appreciated that sooooo much. I looked over and saw that they were both paying close attention to your entire speech, so I'm praying that something sunk in! I just wanted to let you know that you DO make a HUGE difference in lots of lives, and to express my gratitude and appreciation to you and your family for the sacrifices you make in order to help others. God Bless You and your family, and I hope to see you again soon!

| Hi Ron, I came to my school about two years ago to talk to us and it really inspired me to enjoy life and to be a better person. I think what you have overcome is amazing and you are just a great guy.
Kevin on July 26, 2005 |
| Ron,
I saw you on the Wisdom channel on MMK III's TV show and was very inspired by your life story.
I would love to hear you speak in Detroit area, Michigan. I could not find a speaking schedule for you. I have a husband who has all his arms and legs and is SO NEGATIVE! I would love for him to come and hear you speak.
I am also disappointed to hear that you are no longer affiliated with the Camp, as it was your dream.
You are doing great - keep it up!!!
God bless you and your family.

| Dear Ron I watched you when you came to my school, Grandview High School. You are a very inspirational person. I believe God allowed you to survive for one reason, that is to share your message and allow other to learn from you. I thank you very much Ron. Keep sharing your story, Everyone I talked to enjoyed you sharing your story. That's a bunch and keep rolling.

| Too tired this evening to completely express the fullness of my heart. I think you may have saved my son's life tonight with your speech at St. Alphonsus. He came to thank you with tears in his eyes. He has Tourette's Syndrome with lots of depression and OCD that tells him he's no good. Has made suicidal attempts, but I think he will fight it much more successfully now. I am a teacher and will tell my principal to contact you about speaking to our student body this year. May God's blessings continue to pour down on you!

| Ron, I heard you speak last night at St. Alphonse Catholic church. I just wanted to let you know that my seven year old, Josie, told me on the way home, "Dad, that guy was great!, I listened the whole time". You are doing a great work, keep it up! And congratulations on the new baby. Sincerely, Todd Jolibois

| Hi, Ron. I just wanted to thank you for coming to my church this past Sunday (Victory Harvest). I sooo enjoyed hearing you speak. I am naturally a pretty laid back person, but lately I have found myself angry & frustrated over different things going on in this season of my life. But your teaching me that I am the Master of my Attitude really brought conviction & CHANGED me. This morning, as i was rushing around getting ready for work, i found myself angry b/c i could not iron well & had to pack a lunch b/c i couldn't afford to get lunch today...I wanted to start the angry tears of frustration, but was instantly reminded of your message & it calmed me right down. No more whining. I'm gonna choose a good attitude no matter what circumstances hit me. =) Thank you so much for coming! Melissa P.S. I saw pictures of your family on this site. They are BEAUTIFUL! =)
Melissa on August 9, 2005 |
| Hey Ron! You spoke at Woodlawn Baptist Church a few days ago!! You were totally awesome! You are now one of my heros!! Just hearing you talk was an inspiration - all you've been through and are trying to accomplish...it is AMAZING! I love the quad-nod! *hehe* You are a true man of God. One of the things I remember you saying most of all is: Remain in God and you will be complete. I will be starting school soon and that saying will be posted in my locker and on my heart, also. You will always be remembered by me and you and your family will be in my prayers. I love ya'll! Good Lucj with everything you do! -Victoria Hedrick-
Victoria Hedrick, 12 on August 9, 2005 |

| Hi Ron, I was blessed to have seen you speak in person in Palm Springs at the Primerica retreat. Listening to you was so touching. I understand that you have a set back, which is your disabitly, but you keep it at that. Just a set back. You never once said that you couldn't do it, but that you have always found a way, even if it took you a while to figure out how you were going to accomplish mastering it. I was so touched to see you pick up your wife Kelly on your wheel chair, and twirl her around. You still managed a way to dance with her, which was so sweet. Your daughter Gracie Lee, is a doll, and you are so fortunate to have her. Once again, I want to thank you for being a inspiration in my life. I have now through your words and motivation figured out that, "I have no excuse." You have what we would consider a excuse, but once again, it's just a set back. God bless you and your family Ron.
Sierra Gonzalez on August 14, 2005 |
| Dear Ron, We also had the honor of hearing you speak at the Primerica Retreat 2005 in Palm Springs, CA and we'd like to Thank You for Inspiering us to believe in ourselves even more. After hearing Your story we realize that what we are and have gone through is nothing compared to what you and many others have experienced. You have taken away all of our excuses and we realize that our own minds have been the only thing stopping us from accomplishing our goals and dreams. You showed us that there really is No Excuse for us not doing what we need to do today because tomorrow is just a Bonus day. Thank You once again...You are Awesome!
Alfred & Bianca Gomez on August 14, 2005 |
| Hey Ron, I just came back fron Indian Wells California on a business retreat that Marc Cox was putting on and for the last few weeks up to the event, he promised us something special. Working with Marc and Primerica has changed my life in many ways. But I have never had felt as powerfull a change that had come over me as when I herd you speak. For the last few years I had let people and situations control my attitude. I had been negitive for a long time and have been trying to turn it around for quite a while now. I kept feeling that the world was against me and that everything I tried to focus on was falling apart. I felt that I wasn't makeing any progress in my life and that I was going to let down my wife and daughter yet again. When Carla, my wife, and I got to the resort this weekend we had already gotten through a negitive discusion and I was already feeling spent from that. Then we heard you speak, and suddenly everything I had been going through these past few years didn't seem as bad as I thought. Carla and I sat back and saw ourselves, our daughter, our business and our life in a different light for the first time in I don't know how long. Thank you so much for showing us that life is truly what we make of it. By the way, I woke up breathing this morning, and it truly was a good day. Sincerly, Kevin Jordan
Kevin Jordan on August 15, 2005 |
| Ron, I wanted to say thank you for speaking to us in Palm Spring this past weekend. I'm sure I speak for all 500 people that were there when I say you are a true inspiration. Thanks for taking away all of our excuses.

| Hi Ron, I would like to say it was an honor and priviledge to hear you speak and tell your story this past weekend in Palm Springs. Thank you, you have changed my life forever and are definately a true inspiration to all. I will never give up.
Chris Velasquez on August 15, 2005 |
| Dear Ron, you are an amazing man. Thank you so much for coming to Palm Springs and speaking with us. I woke up this morning thinking to myself, wow, I have a bonus day. I have made countless excusses throughtout my life. After hearing you speak I have deceided to end my excusses and move forward with my life. Thank you for inspiring me and helping me see things in a new light. God Bless you and your family

| Hi Ron, We just saw you speak at the Primerica Cox Summer Retreat 2005. You are an absolute blessing from the Lord. Not only were you hilarious and fun to listen to, you are a life changing person.

You have also taught me there are no excuses, and I am ready to set out on my journey and win!! I am so thankful for you coming into my life.

| Dear Ron and Kelli: What a Blessing and Honor to meet you both. The only thing I can say it is that "After Meeting you guys, my life changed for ever, I am not the same woman" You touched my life so deeply that I feel an urgent desire to fulfill my purpose in life, and not complain or lose any more time in excuses. You inspired me so much this past weekend, that I can't stop talking about you. Ron: Your sincere smile and genuine love for humanity is overwhelming; it is like witnessing the Glory of God in its entire splendor! And Kelli: You are so special lady and beautiful inside and out. You can't hide the unconditional love and admiration that you feel for your handsome husband. The Lord really blesses you both with the love you feel for each other.

I think you touched EVERYONES lives in more ways then you know. You've given us the strength to see past our own limitations, fears and set backs and showed us that we can get past them. I can tell you that from that day I will never look at life or myself the same way. I wake up every morning and your right, it is a good day! I Thank you for that. Your such an AWESOME person Ron cause you've made a difference in the world. I look at the smiley face I got from you that day and remember you and how you changed me. Roll on Ron!!!

Andrew & Christine Aguilar on August 23, 2005 |
| Hello Ron! You were awsome @ the Primerica Retreat. I just wanted to thank you for that decision you made so many years ago of not giving up. Because of that single decision I had the privileged and honor to see you and hear you speak. YOU have changed my life forever. And not just mine but thousands of others. It's amazing how powerful a decision can be!!! You are an inspiration to everyone. God Bless you and your family today and always.
Diana Murguia on August 23, 2005 |

Erica & Humberto Solorzano on August 24, 2005 |
| Dear Ron: My mom, Betty Hardy, and I were in Tucson AZ in June for the AIM International Convention. Thank you so much for wheeling yourself out to that microphone to say "You know what? I woke up this morning and I was breathing . . . and I said to myself 'it is going to be a good day!'" Your attitude of gratitude is truly contagious. My life will never be the same. Even though my mother didn't hear that first speech - she made it to the second part and as you know yourself (because I know she told you afterwards & has written to you since) you are her new hero. She is 83 years young and because of you is on her way back to university in a couple of weeks to finish her BFA - care to attend a graduation in December? Love & God's richest blessings to you & Kelly and your dear family.
Nancy Mills on August 25, 2005 |
| Hi Ron! I first heard you yesterday when it was announced that you will be speaking at our Primerica meeting in Nov. Your message impacted me on video, and I can't wait to hear you in person. With your powerful example and the powerful pictures coming out of the South since Katrina hit I have been thinking. I am a pretty healthy person so why am I not doing more? What gives me the right to stay where it is comfortable and avoid the challanging things in life? What kind of an example am I setting for my sons? Thanks so much for your example of strength and courage. Carol
Carol Castaneda on September 4, 2005 |

| hello Ronald, i meet you at the comfort inn and suites hotel in murrieta, ca i was the front desk employee(jessica)9-11-05 and when i was making you a reservation for your friend you and your sister just brighten my day, the funny thing is that i really didnt know either of you nor did we talk alot at first, but something about you and your sister kept a smile on my face the rest of the day. you both just seemed to be great friendly people, then when you told me about your web site i looked it up right away at work and was amazed. you have accomplished more in the last 25 years or so then most people will throught their whole life. just by looking at you and talking to you for the few minutes we did at the hotel i could already tell you have touched and helped so many people and there will be so many more to come. i think its great that you are helping other people in similar situations think that life isnt over its just a new begining . i just wanted to say thank you for proving to everybody that you can still enjoy life which ever way it takes you. im glad you stayed at the hotel and that i got to meet you and look at your beautiful art work and achplishments and i wanted to say how much i look up to you for having a good spirit, great personality and a sense of humor. your awesome. jessica, 21 CA
jessica on September 11, 2005 |
| It is unbelievable to me that all of these responses to you are here. People are pouring out their hearts and lives to you thinking that you will in some way help them. You are a taker. You are a drainer. You are the most deceptive man I have ever come across. I consumed with ZEAL for your wicked tongue. Repent. and in case you didn't get that one, REPENT. FOR THE KINGDOME OF JAH IS NEAR. You have led children astray. You have de-humanized women. You have looked at Pornography on the Camp Attitude computer. Anyone who can read this turn away and toward the LORD. He ALONE is righteous and HE alone CAN AND WILL SAVE YOU. BLESSED BE THE LORD. TRUST in NO MAN. MANY WILL COME IN THE NAME OF THE LORD DECEIVING MANY.

I'm a senior citizen and I want every kid in the USA to hear you; I'm gonna do my part to try to make it happen at schools in our area. I'm looking forward to hearing you again. You have touched my heart and challenged me. Your smile is amazing, your sense of humor awesome, your faith extraordinary, and your ATTITUDE cannot be defined in words....It's definitely a God thing. You're on my prayer list forever; the Lord bless you; keep on rollin', Ron; you ROCK!

I wish you could have heard the wonderful comments from the students after you left. You truly are an inspiration, not only to the students, but also the adults. I pray that the Lord gives you many more years to share your message of hope and inspiration. Your wife and daughter are both beautiful and I was so glad we got to meet them also.

| Ron, I am the newspaper reporter who covered your visit at the Walsh High School in Walsh Colorado on Oct. 11th 2005. Through hearing your story in brief at the school and then reading it in detail in your book, "Never Give Up!" I experienced tears, joy and spiritual cleansing and have gained overcoming faith and great vision for accomplishing my most desired goals and dreams and hope for becoming all that "I'm meant to be." Thanks for visiting our little town in Baca County!
Berta Nelson, Baca Weekly on October 28, 2005 |

Your paintings are really good. We had a halloween party today after school, I was helping out for student council, I scared kids in the haunted house, and I got completely wrapped up ion toilet paper like a mummy! But when I was in the car, on the way home I was thinking a lot about what you said, and I moved my fingers, and I thought to myself how lucky I was. From now on, I wont take my arms, legs, and my toes, for granted. Thanks, Julia

Hi Ron & Kelli: Would love to hear Ron speak after reading his book "Life is an Attitude". I just emailed you Ron to ask you to call my nephew Tyler who was hurt on 7/4/05 and is now a quadriplegic. Your book was inspiring for me as well as his mother. Keep up the great work!

| Ron, wow, it's truly amazing to see a man who truly loves life and will never give up. I think there is something hidden in your heart which you would love to reveal to the world but simply cannot due to politically correctness, but keep following your heart, bro. You taught me to hate noone but love everyone, and there is so much happiness when you have so much to be thankful for in one simple word: LIFE. Be blessed and know that you will be in my prayers! Hudson thanks you a million (yup 2 years ago but still impacting).
