To my readers

As you may have already noticed, my writing is pretty sporadic. I spend what time I can doing it, but there are a few other things I must put first.

At the end of June, I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia. If I were to leave it untreated, it gives me 6 months to live. But I am treating it; I’m in the hospital right now. In fact, chemotherapy begins this morning. The doctors are confident that I can beat this thing.

Their confidence is my prayer. God is the only One Who can beat it, and I hope and pray that is His will. If it is, then wonderful. If not, then, no matter what, His will is my will. As we all know, He put His son on the cross, but didn’t keep him there.

That sets the pattern for all of us. This cancer is my cross, and I will bear it, just like all of us do. Maybe not always gladly, and certainly not without help. Thanks to all who have, are, and will pray for me.

At least for the foreseeable future, I’ll publish what I can, when I can. Thanks for reading whatever you have read of mine, and may Almighty God bless you now and always.
