Good day my friends, it's been a minute since I had the time to jot down to this blog and I apologize for the delay between posts.
When I created this blog, I had no idea just how busy life can be so let me catch you up on things.
Back in Nov. of 2022 I experienced a cancer scare! Yes, it's true. My blood tests came back with an elevated level of PSA. I'd never had any issues before but this time, something had elevated the numbers enough that the Dr's decided I needed an MRI. If you know me at all you know that me in an MRI tube is like stuffing a marshmallow in a thimble!
An hour and 20 minutes later I was free and I didn't use any tranquilizers or get knocked out. I simply laid in the tube as still as a stone, praying for my church folks, my family and friends and myself! God was gracious and although I exited the tube with bruised elbows, I was declared clear by the MRI. My Urologist wasn't convinced so I endured a prostate biopsy. (NOT A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE!)
The biopsy determined that I had zero cancer cells present and despite some minor enlargement, I am cancer free.
Then a few months later my wife had a cancer scare but the Lord once again protected her. No cancer found!
Fast forward to this last week...my best man at my wedding and fellow laborer in the faith passed away. He fought a brave fight with cancer and served his flock with all the love and strength God gave him. He only missed one Sunday behind the pulpit and that was only because he was having surgery on that Sunday. Despite the effects of Chemotherapy & Radiation, my buddy served with grace and dignity.
To say life has been busy is an understatement. There has been hospital trips, prayer time for dear folks struggling with life and following a 15yr old daughter who is also a blessing.
My encouragement to you today is this: No matter what life throws at you, KEEP GOING! Never quit, don't give up and put your faith in Someone Who can make a real difference in all your circumstances.
Who is that you might ask?
His name is Jesus Christ and despite what the world thinks, He is in the LIFE CHANGING BUSINESS.
