I wanted to post some thoughts from the doctor’s appointment I had this week. Overall, it was good news. I went in with my guns blazing, saying that I didn’t want to be on chemo anymore since I had made it through 12 months. The doctor shot back that the 12 month mark was arbitrary. [...]

Procrastinational
Posted in Faith, Ponderings, Prayers, Updates on May 1, 2011 | 2 Comments »
So it is Saturday night and it is time to write a sermon and also be procrastinational. So let me be a little procrastinational before I write the sermon, or else that wouldn’t be procrastinating. It has been a while since I have written anything – but what would you expect from a pastor during [...]

When you are talking with God today, please thank him for getting us through this year. Praise Him for providing for us- through His deep abiding love, His perfect peace, His joy that exists even in sorrow.

Remissional Dreaming

I have been dreaming about when the day comes that I will be pronounced in remission from cancer. Maybe sometime in May. I keep thinking of what a huge burden that will be off of my shoulders to transition to a time where battling cancer is no longer my main objective. Definitely will have to [...]
Can’t Sleep

So it is 12:15 am and I all jacked up. Can’t shut my brain off enough to fall asleep. Sat in a meeting tonight where some friends were talking about starting an urban ministry in Galveston. I felt like they were speaking my language. So my brain is full of ideas and potentials and dreams. [...]
Procrastination

It is not really procrastination. It is really just letting things stew a bit. I don’t write sermons until late Saturday night because things have got to stew – they have been stewing all day long. I think we have something good on the way tomorrow – but you will have to visit the other [...]

I am still trying to keep flowing free in blogging on this site – I don’t feel like I have been constipated in my blogging quite yet, but may start this weekend as I start round 9 of chemo. So some thoughts: First and foremost – would you be praying for our friend Sharon? She [...]
Waiting Room

I had to have blood work done on Monday as MD Anderson continues to monitor my blood levels while on chemo. So I went to UTMB in Galveston to get the blood drawn and analyzed. When I got there, I had to wait awhile before getting called in. I sat in the waiting room with two [...]

Tim just took his anti-nausea pill before I started this blog… 30 minutes until he takes chemo for the first time. If you had asked me any day up until today if I am nervous about the chemo I would have said no. And I really haven’t been since I am learning to take one [...]
