I've been away from here for a while. Mostly I've been busy with school and raising my son but last month I had a cancer scare. I had a terrible chest cold and while looking at an x-ray the Dr. found a spot on my lungs. He was quite concerned about it and scheduled me for a CT scan. I had to wait about a week for that. And after the scan I had to wait a few more days for the results.

During that time I was pretty nervous. We were preparing for a long term fight with possible lung cancer. My faith helped me in the fact that I was more scared about not seeing my son grow up than dying. I wasn't too worried about that. I knew I'd be fine. Thankfully the scan came back fine and I didn't have lung cancer. They did find another spot on my kidneys but for some reason I'm not too worried about that. I had an ultrasound yesterday on that but I'm optimistic that nothing will come of it.

The scare did have a good outcome in one regard. My wife and I had been fighting and bickering a lot lately. I don't know what the problem was, maybe we were taking each other for granted. Whatever the problem was, it was put into perspective. Faced with the possibility of death made us both realize what we had and we have a renewed vigor in getting along and working out our problems instead of just trading verbal barbs back and forth. The best thing we can do for our son is raise him in a loving Christian home. And due to this we have been more focused on making sure this happens. My faith has been strengthened, our marraige is stronger and my priorities have been put back in place.

I had a lot of people praying for me and thankfully God decided that it wasn't my destiny to die quite yet. Thank you God.

Well I'm gonna get off of here for now. I have big plans for tonight. The local Christian theatre has a new play and we're going to see it. They always put on a great show. If you're ever in the Springfield/Branson MO area you should stop by. The link to the place is below.

Thanks for sharing that testimony. My husband also had a few spots show up on his lung xrays, last year. The MRI, also showed that they were not cancerous! The LORD is GOOD!

Welcome back DTH and thankyou for sharing with us. I lost my husband to lung cancer in 2005 at the age of 50. I am praising the Lord that your results were clear. I am so happy you and your wife are seeing the love you had for each other more clearly again. Praise the Lord. GOD is good! 1dsz5e4.gif
