I am a born again Christian, I love the Lord. I look forward to being with the Lord in heaven, singing praises and hallelujahs. But I do not look forward to the process of getting there, especially with a diagnosis of cancer. That scares me. I hate the thought of pain, and not being able to take care of myself for some period of time. So when a week before Thanksgiving the doctor said I had pancreas cancer, and it was stage 4, and that I have spots on my liver, it was a real shock. My life is going to change, big time, and I am worried about how my wife, Diane, is going to live after I am gone. When I look at my calendar, there is hardly a day where I don't have a doctor visit or some kind of test scheduled. And I am trying to figure out how Diane will make it after I get my new heavenly body.



I do want to thank you all so much for everyone who is praying for me. My friends at work, my family and extended family all have prayer teams talking to the Lord about me. It is very humbling. I thank the Lord for all of you.
