Lindsa Kay MacDonald
1949-2011

Lindsa Kay Johnson MacDonald, 62, died September 26 after battling colorectal cancer for more than four years. She is survived by her husband of 36 years Chuck MacDonald, of Bowie, Md.; her children Mark MacDonald of St. Charles, Mo., Tracy MacDonald of Bowie, Md., Christy MacDonald of Arlington, Va., and her granddaughter Maggie Rose MacDonald of St. Charles, Mo. Mrs. MacDonald's parents Bill and Virginia Johnson of New Martinsville, WV preceded her in death about 10 years ago.

Mrs. MacDonald was born July 6, 1949 in Morgantown, WV and graduated from high school in New Martinsville, WV. She decided to go back to college while she had three small children at home, graduating from California State University in San Bernardino, in 1992 with a degree in theater arts. She earned her way onto the Dean's List while there. For several years she assisted the drama programs at Parkway North High and Clayton Junior High in the St. Louis area. She designed and acquired costumes, supervised make up and assisted with staging of plays. She also coached drama students in Attleboro, Mass. She enjoyed the challenge of helping students develop their acting skills and shine at the productions.

She also acted in the plays "Good News Scrooge," "Esther" and "Bethlehem Marketplace," all Bible-centered productions performed in Redlands and Yucaipa, California during her 20 years in Southern California. She loved using her acting skills as a means to showcase her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Mrs. MacDonald worked for Campus Crusade for Christ for 20 years and for the Parkway and Clayton School Districts in administrative roles.

After moving to Bowie in 2003 her warm personality enabled her to develop many friendships in exercise classes, Bible studies and in the neighborhood. Mrs. MacDonald enjoyed exercising and regularly marked her birthday with a one-mile swim.

She was a member of the Osti Association of Anne Arundel County and a regular attendee at Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Annapolis. Her favorite Bible passages included John 15 and the story of Rahab in Genesis.

A memorial service will be held at Evangelical Presbyterian Church, 710 Ridgely Ave., Annapolis, MD on Saturday, October 29 at 2.

I had a great time this week talking to people about the value of Pre-Paid Legal for businesses. The first guy owned a business with about 30 employees. We talked about five things:

• Have you ever had someone not pay for services that you had done for them?
• Have you ever had a vendor or customer send you an agreement to sign that you didn't understand?
• How about a government contract or supplier contract that you had questions about?
• Have you ever thought about restructuring your business to add another income stream?
• Have you ever been audited by the IRS or concerned that you might be?

All of these issues are a part of the services a business receives with their Pre-Paid Legal membership. The first fellow is very eager to sign up and feels he can easily pay for the membership easily with the bad debts he's able to collect.

The second guy was shocked at the cost. He couldn't believe that it was so low. He kept trying to see if there was a catch somewhere. He couldn't believe that a small business working out of his home could get his family and his business covered with the expanded family plan and the home-based business rider for just over $40 per month.

Such a deal!
