It is very sad to me that I have neglected this page for so long. I can’t really explain how it happened but something distracted me from writing any new thoughts for so many months. I will try to understand it by writing now.
For so long everything was about the cancer. I feel everyone who reads this needs to know that Amy and I are doing great. We are fully recovered and feel healthier every day. We are healed according to Doctors and just get regular check ups to be sure nothing new is occurring.
Now I have a life without cancer but I(we) will always be cancer survivors. You don’t go through it with out certain emotions and psychology that remain probably for the rest of this natural life. I want my life to be about more than cancer and over the past few months it has been.
We have grandson #2 due in a few weeks, our first grandson just celebrated birthday #3. Our children are such a blessing and keep us interested in all that is happening in their lives. Our church has been growing in more ways than “numbers and nickels”. There are a growing number who seem to get the fact that loving Jesus and hating sin are two principles that represent a balanced and truly Christian life. Mark Cahill’s visit along with a real wildfire, that could have consumed our church, have instead sparked(pun) a real revival in our midst. I am reading several books, which can be frustrating, but also such a blessing. The books are: The Promise by Robert Morgan, Crazy Love by Francis Chan and Sticky Church by Larry Osborne. Each of them challenge me in new ways to love God and people. I want more than anything to be consumed by the real things, not the stuff.
Facebook could be a reason for no blogging. I have put some ideas on there that God has taught me but they are very small and quickly added.
All this is just a way to get me back at the keyboard and putting some thoughts down that maybe will interest someone. So please check every now and then and I promise to write more regularly. Each of you who see me may ask and hold me accountable.
It’s good to see you back among the blogging! I’m glad you and Amy are doing well. You have been in my thoughts and I’ve wondered how y’all were. I hope “Grandson: The Sequel” is a big hit. Keep blogging.
