This is a quick update. I still look to the hills for my help. Nothing new there. When I received the news about my cancer not showing up on the PET scan the nurse who shared that news wasn’t as excited about the information as I thought she should have been. So, last week I […]
One of the great blessings I’ve had in my life is to watch, from a pretty close vantage point, the way God uses generations to spread his Gospel. I met Doug Wilson around 1973 or 74. We were stationed on the same submarine and in the same division. While we were together Doug talked about […]
“I will lift up my eyes to the hills—From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.” (Psalm 121:1–2) This has been one of my favorite passages ever since I first heard it in a song back when I was in the Navy, in the 70s. I heard the […]
“Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people, And praise Him in the company of the elders” (Ps 107:31–32). This is a wonderful psalm. As usual, whenever anyone quotes a passage like […]
“And he said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked shall I return there. The Lord gave, and the Lordhas taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord.”” (Job 1:21) “Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; And let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.” Let the sea roar, and all its fullness; […]
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (Jn 3:16) “For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His […]
As I was preparing my breakfast this morning it occurred to me, right out of the blue, what an amazing thing seeing is. I grew up in Southern California, believing that evolution was true and somehow Christianity was true too. The one came from school, the other from home and church. The main thing about […]
I was recently mentioned in an article that may have been the reason you’re visiting my site. I love it when people do things that cause others to visit me. Please, since you’re here, spend some time looking around. Things you should notice are the absence of vitriol, bitterness, whining, complaining and just general cussedness […]
It’s been a while since my last cancer update. Sorry. A week or so my PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) level was down to 1.9. I think this means that the cancer cells are slowing in their growth and slowing their spread. This is, of course, good. Side-effects of the meds continue. I don’t know if they […]
