A Heart Full of Thanks

James Williams is a convert with a mission. And when he shares his story at church, people pay attention. “Different ones walk up to me and say, “I never knew that,” says Williams, a former machine operator for a computer hardware company in Hunt Valley. But Williams doesn’t preach religion, he lives it. Ever since he was given the news that he has a disease of the heart muscle, or cardiomyopathy, he has become a model patient. He is spreading the word about the importance of lifestyle changes for people like him with congestive heart failure.
