So about this time, one year ago, I went in for some routine tests and came out a cancer patient. Most will see that as a bad thing. Trust me, it’s definitely not what I wanted to hear. And at first I was in shock. However, within literally minutes, I kicked into survival mode andContinue reading “One Year and Counting”

The Spirit Knows
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. Romans 8:26 What a great gift that God has given us by sending the Spirit to live in us. The spirit that lives withinContinue reading “The Spirit Knows”
Time is a Great Gift to Share
Over the years I’ve talked many times about how the small things we do throughout our lives really make a difference. God uses these small things in big ways. One of the original posts I made on this was entitled, “How to Change the World Today!” Today I intend to change the world! I’m leavingContinue reading “Time is a Great Gift to Share”
Everyone Will Know
We’re just coming out of the Christmas holiday and this is the time of the year that people get generous and giving and show love to one another. But why don’t we do this all year long? Why are we so focused on the month of December that we often forget the other 11 months.Continue reading “Everyone Will Know”
What am I Thankful For?
It’s Thanksgiving week and while this has been a rough year (rough couple years really), with the pandemic, my health issues, and a lot of other stuff going on around the world, it’s often tough to remember we have so much to be thankful for. I’m gonna list some of the things I’m thankful for.Continue reading “What am I Thankful For?”
Blueberry Yogurt Parfait
As I write this it’s early Monday morning and in a few hours I’ll be back up at the hospital to get my next round of treatment. Up to this point it really hasn’t been that bad as I’ve been handling the chemo pretty well with few side effects, but it is a long andContinue reading “Blueberry Yogurt Parfait”
Fullness of Joy
Where does my joy come from? A question I’ve asked myself over and over again. It’s hard to explain to myself let alone to others because joy comes from GOD, it does not come from within us. Joy is contentment despite whatever circumstances you may be facing. I have told you this so that myContinue reading “Fullness of Joy”
Let Down Your Nets
I’ve come across some trying days the last few months. Days that I wish would never come and I know there will be trying days ahead of me. I was reading through the book of Luke the other day and read in chapter 5 the story of Jesus when he calls his first disciples. HeContinue reading “Let Down Your Nets”
God comes through again
If you read my last post, Dealing with Fatigue, you’ll remember the extreme fatigue that hit me about a few days after my treatment. When I wrote that post, I was still pretty fatigued, not quite as bad as it had been, but still in the middle of it. I wrote that post, posted itContinue reading “God comes through again”
Dealing with Fatigue
I’m now a week and half past my first full chemo treatment and praise God I’ve had very few side effects. I realize that I’ve got many more treatments to go and those side effects may come later, but for now I’m enjoying the relative ease that treatment is currently going. The only real symptomContinue reading “Dealing with Fatigue”
