My Story

I'm an active duty AF member working in procurement/contracting. I am a brain tumor (anaplastic astrocytoma) survivor. When I'm not working I am a husband, father of two of the sweetest kids you'll ever meet and a musician. I play guitar and bass in a contemporary worship band at my church.

I just returned from M.D. Anderson and I have received another stable report...I am truely blessed. This particular trip was the most spiritually humbling I have ever experienced. The testamonies I heard from fellow cancer suvivors was so inspiring. There was a moment in the MRI waiting area where the holy spirit was present...I felt so close to God. I know that God works through all of us, whether we are aware of it or not...even when we don't give him credit, He is working. On this cancer journey of pains, fears and obstacles...the people we meet who share stories and the selfless community compassion that has been brought to the forefront have made this a blessing. Remember that book and saying, "Don't sweat the small stuff?" Well...there's a lot of folk among us who are sweating over some pretty insignificant things...it's nothing...we should live lightly and love strongly.

God bless,

John
