The last few days have been very busy for me. On Friday I went for blood tests. Yesterday I had a Cat Scan and chest x-ray. On Friday I will go to the Doctor to find out the results of all the tests. My prayer is that the test come back okay. The doctor has changed me from having chem. Instead of having chemotherapy every two weeks, he has changed me to every three weeks. The extra week between chemotherapy has been an answer to my prayers. I am able to bounce back a lot better. It is nice knowing that there is an extra week of rest before taking chemo. The chemotherapy makes me pretty sick. I can handle the pain of the cancer, but the sickness because of chemotherapy is pretty tough.
On another note, we had such a wonderful service on Sunday morning. I enjoy all the services at Batley, but Sunday was special. I was reminded that God is still on the throne and that He can and will help us to deal with difficult days. I appreciate your prayers. I have such wonderful friends that have lifted me up your prayers.

Life Is Good
One of the great truths I've discovered in my journey with cancer is that life is good. We take for granted the precious gift of life that our gracious Lord has given us--that is until that gift is in danger of being taken away. I admit that I never appreciated the gift of life as much as I appreciate it now. Each day is a bonus to me and to my family. I don't know now many days I will be unwrap this wonderful gift of life, but I want to be thankful for each and every day and use that day for my good and God's glory.
One of that things that irritates me now more than ever before are folks that gripe and complain about every trivial thing that happens to them. These kind of folks are those that the Bible warns about who "sow discord among the brethren." I am already dealing with a cancer that eats away at my flesh--I don't want to deal with the cancer of criticism that eats away at my joy. I have made it my goal in life to stay away from joy robbers as much as possible. I want to be around folks that lift up my spirits and when I'm around them I feel better about them and I feel better about myself. I want to remind you--and me--that "the joy of the Lord is my strength.
