God is always with us!

Good Afternoon,

Yesterday, Nancy & I went to get the shots in my knees. One shot in my left knee and one in the right knee. Oh my, the shots were painful! Thank God the shots didn't take but 15 seconds each. Yet, when I got off the table, the pain was sever. I had to walk to the elevator and then stand and wait for Nancy to get the car. I felt like I was 100 years old. Taking little and bent over, I sat down in the car.

I needed to eat something before I could take a pain pill. We stopped at Starbucks and bought coffee and a small treat. Wow, I needed that pain pill!

Today, I am feeling better. I still have pain in my knees. Yet, God is teaching me to trust Him even when I do not understand. Proverbs 3;5-6 states, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight."

Palm 118:17-18 states,"I am not dead but alive. I will proclaim what the Lord has done (17). He disciplined me severely but He did not give me over to death."  These two verses have given me comfort through my cancer battle. I will be eight years cancer free on January, 7th 2017. I on February 10th 2017, ten years ago, I knew I was sick. March 12th next year is ten year mark of starting my cancer treatments.

On the brighter side, I met Nancy on Christian Mingle in February of 2009. Yes, one month after I got the phone from Nurse Peggy telling me,"David we don't need you anymore!" I replied, "What does that mean?" She told me,"David you are cancer free!" I do not even remember what I said after hearing such wonderful news! Nancy and I got engaged in May 2009. We were got married the following February. We will celebrate eight years of knowing each other and seven years of marriage nex
t year.

Thanks again for reading my blogs!

I am His,

David Walter Walter

God is up there right?

It's a wonderful time of year!

Good afternoon,

It's the day after Christmas and I hope and pray your celebration of Christ's birthday was wonderful! Nancy & I celebrated with her family yesterday. Her older brother Chris and his family drove down from Washington State. Nancy's younger brother Joey and his family drove down from Las Vegas. It was a great day and night! Gifts were given and received. 

My expectation was low as far as receiving gifts. Thank you God because I received several gifts! My favorite football team is the L.A. Rams. They have been my team since I was ten years old. Nancy gave me a Rams scarf, hat, and bennie. Then my Father-in-law and Mother-in-law gave a Rams blanket and a Rams portable chair. My brother-in-law gave me another Rams bennie. The last gift was two tickets to the Rams vs the Cardinals this coming Sunday. The game is at the L.A. Coliseum.

Nancy gave me a "Dr. Stanley Bible." This bible is the most precious gift of them all! Yes, I am delighted with all my other gifts, yet they will wear out and the football game will come and go. But the Word of the Lord will be with me as long as I live on this earth😇

I hope and pray that you feel the same way about your bible! 

I truly wish you a Happy and Blessed New Year!!!

I am HIS,

David Walter Wiseman

It's a wonderful time of year!

Surprise

Hi,

I'm here again because so many wonderful things are happening lately. Isn't great when you hear from  friends from your childhood? Last night, while on Face Book, I was contacted by Doug. We grew up together and I have not heard from him in thirty-five years!

Then, a former student of mine named Salvador sent a message through Face Book and asked if I was his teacher from middle school? Yes, I was, I have not heard from him since 1993! Salvador graduated from high school and is now attending college. I am so proud of him! He grew up in the tough part of San Bernardino, California.

I coached football at Arrowhead Christian Academy of nine years. Well, two of my former player are now friends of mine on Face Book! Dan and Allan were great offensive/defensive line man. I am so proud of two young men!

One more, while on Face Book, (just so you know, I have not been on my Face Book page for two months), I found Julie. She is the wife of Liton. Liton and I used to teach at Arrowview Middle School in San Bernardino, California. I taught Alternative Studies and Liton taught the Opportunity Program. Our classrooms were next to each other. He was in room A-3 and I was in room A-4. We became good friends. Liton called me this morning and it was wonderful to hear from him!

God is able to surprise you in so many ways! I am so happy to have these five men back in my life! Continue to trust and obey God and He will reward you!


In HIS HANDS,

David Walter Wiseman

Thank God for good friends!

The Main Purpose

Hi,

Today, I would like to remind you that my book,"Courage and Comfort...How a wise man walked through the valley of cancer and strokes" is available to purchase on amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, and iTunes.

On my last post, I mentioned how amazed I am that so many people from around the world are reading my blogs. For this reason, I gave you the websites to buy my book. Now, that is not the main purpose of my blog...just to be clear. The main purpose is to be obedient to God and share my experiences with you. God is faithful and He will never leave you!

I am humbled by the number of people reading my blog! I'm also encouraged by you to blog more often. As you know, I have been waiting to receive shots in my knees. These shots would relieve my pain for three months up to eighteen months. Wow, pain free for a while would be wonderful. But there as been a delay because of computer malfunction. I just found this

out about 30 minutes ago. God's timing is always perfect!!!

So, hurry over to one of those websites I mentioned and buy my book! I pray that you will be blessed reading it and I will be blessed knowing you are reading my journey through cancer.

January 7th 2017, I will be 8 years Cancer Free!!! Praise the LORD!!!

Gratefully His,

David Walter Wiseman

May your Christmas be Glorious!

May God Richly Bless you today!

Greetings to you,

I am amazed how God is using my blog! I want encourage you to continue to seek Jesus Christ wherever you live. God has created all of us no matter the color of our skin. God loves all people and He wants everyone to come to Him and except the free gift of salvation. Thank you Jesus for being obedient to your Father, even to dying on the Cross! Jesus took our sins, past, present, and future which makes it possible for all believers to gain access to Heaven! Praise the Lord!

Today is Sunday and I was unable to attend church. The reason is because yesterday Nancy & I went to the Wiseman's Christmas Party. The party was at my Mother's house. My Mother lives about an hour and a half drive away. It was a great party! I did all the driving. I love to drive whenever we travel. Also, I was on my feet quite a bit at the party. So, when I awoke this morning my knees greeted me with pain!

God has a way to "Work everything for good to those who love Him" (Romans 8:28). Nancy went over this morning and talked with her Mother and they were both blessed afterwards. I had time to read the Bible. Now, I'm writing to you. God is good all the time!!!

I am beginning to understand what God wants from me. If you are suffering right now and you do not know why God is allowing all this pain in your life, trust God and obey Him and in His timing He will reveal to you why! To follow Jesus in this world is difficult, but the rewards we will receive is far greater than the pain we are enduring! Matthew 6:33, Jesus encourages us, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these thing will be given to you as well."

Read the Bible daily! I promise that the Word will bless you and keep you everyday!

May God Bless you Richly today,

In His Grip,

David Walter Wiseman

AMEN!

Christmas Time

Hello,

Today has been a different type of day. Yet, for a cancer survivor, I should remember that this type of day comes about a little more often. It was difficult to get out of bed this morning. When I finally got out of bed it was 10:30am.

I ate breakfast with my wife and at 12:30am I was back in bed. At 3:30pm, I arose to eat a burrito my wife bought for me.

My wife went to work at 4:30pm. So, I thought I would write to you. Then I was distracted with making phone calls to find a dentist. I have already lost two molars on the bottom right. Now, I have a molar on the bottom left causing pain. Twenty days of, "Whole Brain Radiation" has something to do with me losing teeth!

Well, several phones calls later, I have three dentists to call. But, it's 5:15pm and it's too late to make an appointment today.

I praise God and trust Him! Without God in my life, I would be... I don't even want to go there!

Nancy & I have three Christmas parties to go to this month! My molar decides to act up now! Well, maybe it will keep me from eating too much at the parties😉!

Well, thanks again for spending some of your time with me!!!

December is usually a very bust month, but take some time to thank Jesus for coming to earth!

Sincerely,

David Walter Wiseman

THANK YOU, JESUS!

Christmas Season

Good Afternoon,

First, I want you to know that I will do my best to blog more often. My knees are still screaming at me constantly, yet God is teaching me to trust Him! I saw my Orthopedic Doctor about a week ago. He sent a referral to my insurance company to have the shots in my knees. Yes, the shot will be painful, but as my daughter Alyssa said, "Dad, that's nothing compared to what you have already been through!"

Recently, I turned 53 years old. I suppose for most people being a year older is not a big deal. But, when you are a cancer survivor, every day is marvelous!

If you have read my book, then you are familiar with Darin Owens. Well, he read my book and sent me text. Again, he called me a "Walking Miracle!"

My wife and I love Christmas! We love shopping together! It's so fun making sure we have the same number of gifts for our four daughters, one son-in-law, and a soon to be son-in-law. We also have her two parents, my Mom, and gift exchange gifts to buy! And, sending out the Christmas Cards... On my!

I have so much to thank God for in my life! I'm so grateful that I am alive! I have a wife who loves me more than I thought possible! I am so proud of our daughters! I

love our Sons-in-Laws! Parents who love me...I could go on and on...but I think I did this on my last blog...LOL!!!

Thank you for taking time out of you day to read my blog!

WOW, so true at this time of year!

May this Christmas Season be blessed and

glorious,

David Walter Wiseman

Thanksgiving!

Hello to all who read my blog,

Finally, I have an appointment next Thrusday with my Orthopedic Doctor. I want to know what he will decide about my two injured knees. If you have not read in previous blogs, I torn the meniscus in both knees the last week of March of this year. I have been going to physical therapy for five

months with no change with the pain in my knees. Pray for good news!

My book was in the Fall Catalog with Xulon Publishing! Now, it is in the Christmas Catalog! As I scanned through both catalogs, I realized that my book, "Courage and Comfort", is the only book that deals with cancer. If you have the opportunity to look at either catalogs, please search for my book.

Joe, my Father-in-Law, is handling his chemotherapy well! Praise the Lord! Joe and his wife Esther went to two movies this week.

Today, Joe is receiving chemotherapy. Please pray for him, Esther, and my wife Nancy. Thank you!

I would also like to mention my neighbor Ray. He is getting treatment for Pancreatic Cancer. Ray is a true miracle. He has survived for nearly two years with this cancer. Please pray for Ray also!

Thanksgiving is just around the corner...I have so many things to thankful for!!!

• I am alive!
• I in love with Jesus!
• I have a wife that loves me dearly!
• I have my daughters who love me!
• I have a son-in-law that I love!
• I have a grandson that loves his Grandpa! (with another grandson on the way!)
• My Mother loves me!
• I am blessed with so many people who love me!

Count your blessings and you will be very thankful during Thanksgiving!

I thank you for reading my blog!
I would be thankful if you left a comment!

One day at a time

A Good Tuesday to you all,

Nancy & I stayed at a Marriott room over the weekend. We have stayed at several Resident's Inn over the last six years and this one was not at the top of our list. It was nice to get away.

We met a Rufus & Diane, who are staying at the Marriott because they found black mold in their apartment. As our conversation went on, we found out that they are Christians! We gave them a copy of my book. Rufus thanked me and whispered, "I have some family members going through cancer right now. Your book will help them."

I am still not 100% health wise! God gets me through each day! Jesus does tell us to live one day at a time, (Matthew 7). It is beneficial to apply to our lives what the Bible teaches us each day!

I do love the weather in the Fall. I just wish it loved me too! Allergies tend to beat me up in late October and November, but the cooler weather is worth it!

In November, I will turn 53 years old. Where has all these years gone? I was 43 years when I got cancer. Wow, ten years later and I am still dealing with the side effects of the cancer treatments! Praise God I am alive!

Thanks for visiting my blog!

May God bless you richly today,

David Walter Wiseman

I would like to read your comments, if you feel inclined to write one!

Giving Thanks

Good Day,

Have you noticed all the earth's activity lately? I have and it makes me wonder, "God, are we close to the end times?" We live in a time were what used to be right is now wrong! We live in a time when there is blatant issues shoved in our faces and if you do not agree...watch out! What is the answer? LOVE is the answer!

Jesus came to earth to show everyone that love conquers all! So, when you are hit in the face with immoral attitudes, love them and watch their defensive wall come down.

Okay, now to the business of the book. It will be in the Christmas Catalog with Xulon Press. I'm very happy to have the money to purchase the quarter space ad. God's timing is always perfect!

I am still going through health issues. My knees are still hurting. I caught a flu/cold four days ago. And to top it off, I hit my head on the wall above our dinning room table!

Thanks for reading my thoughts for today!

In His Grip,

David Walter Wiseman
ps. Buy the book and let my know what you think?
pps. Please leave a comment it you feel led to!

Thank you Jesus! One Nation under God!

It was worth it!

Nancy & I had a very long weekend, but it was worth it! We stayed at a Marriott room. On Sunday we went to Church and out to Cheese Cake Factory for lunch with Dad & Mom and with her daughter and her boyfriend. What a blessed day!

On Monday, we drove out to Yucaipa to have brunch with my Mom and my brother. Then Nancy & I drove to Oak Glen and bought some apples. Oak Glen is famous for great tasting apples.

Next, we drove down to visit my pregnant daughter, her husband and their two year old son! We talked them and played with our grandson!! We all went out to dinner too! Wahoo, what a wonderful, exhausting weekend! 

I will mention that my knees have been and are now screaming at me! I am hoping and praying that I will be able to have an author signing event

soon.

God is always with you!

Thanks for reading!

In His Grip,

David Walter Wiseman

ps. I would like to read your comments!

Just Keep Going

Hello,

Today is the second day of Fall here in Southern California. It feels more like the second day of Summer! Just so you know, I do not feel well when it is so hot. Thank God for air-conditioning!

Please keep praying for my father-in-law Joe. He has Pancreatic Cancer. Last Monday he met with his Oncologist. Dad, Mom, Chris and Nancy all like him.

I am learning that I need to know the business side of selling my book. I have a really good tax man named Mike to help me. I am up to the challenge!

Physically, I am still dealing with my knees. I torn the Meniscus in both knees in late March of this year. Physical therapy is helping me get stronger, but has not relived my pain. Will surgery help? I have to wait until I am done with my physical therapy...five more to complete and then I will know.

Thanks for visiting my blog,

David Walter Wiseman

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

Happy Friday to Y'all

Well, good day to y'all.

Today I am writing with my Father-in-law on my mind. His name is Joe and he has cancer. Joe is 75 years old and is physically active. His wife's name is Esther. If you would pray for healing, the whole family would appreciate it greatly!

Other news, my church, Calvary Chapel Artesia, bought 51 books for me to sell. What a blessing! Several church members bought my book!

I will give you a hint about my book...it is my cancer journal. When you read it, you will know me, even though we might not meet in person. Well, there is so much more about me. I am praying about writing a follow up book to, "Courage and Comfort."

Thank you for visiting my blog!

May God bless you richly today,

David Walter Wiseman

Thank you Jesus!

Progess

Well hello,

I'm writing this blog from my kitchen table. Our T.V. died yesterday! Yeah, right before the football season starts...yug! Oh well, maybe I watch USC online? 

Now to some good news, Nancy and I have sold 20 books. We decided to use the book money and purchase promotional products. Nancy designed a banner, bookmarks, and postcards. She also ordered a Polo shirt, cap and bucket hat with, "Courage and Comfort" stitched on each item. Nancy even designed car magnets to advertise the book as we drive around town or out of town. She did all of this on Vista Print. On another website she designed can coolers. Nancy is very creative!!!

I have received positive feedback from the people who read my book. It is still strange to thing that I am a published author. God gets all the glory!

Thank you for reading,

David Walter Wiseman

God Bless America

I am amazed!

Hello, 

This is the hottest summer I can remember! It has taken a toll on me. As a cancer surviver, I cannot get too hot or too cold. Yet, I know God is with me no matter what I'm going through!

May I let you know how great it is to be a published author!!! Nancy & I ordered some books from Xulon Press and then last Sunday our church gave us a box of 50 books! What a huge blessings!

I'm sitting next to three boxes which total 200 books. I am amazed. So, if you know someone who is going through cancer my book will give them courage and comfort to preserver!

In HIS Grip,

David Walter Wiseman

Grace wins every time!

My book is published!

"Courage and Comfort...How a wise man walked through the valley of cancer and strokes" is now available to purchase. You may go to Amazon.com or Barns & Noble.com or iTunes store. It's an amazing feeling to have my first book published!

As I wrote my book, I battled through many injuries and illnesses. Recovering from 84 bags of chemotherapy and twenty days of whole brain radiation and two rounds of Autogroious Stem Cell Replace therapy was extremely harsh! I am still dealing with all the after effects of these "Treatments." I have had a torn plantaris tendon, and a concussion that lasted six weeks, a flue shot that caused nine weeks of illness just to name a few! It was difficult to go back in time and pull up painful memories and write those into words. I hope and pray that my experience with cancer and all the side effects helps you!

Many people who heard my testimony over the first two years of being "Cancer Free" asked, "So when are you going to write a book about it?" It's published, so go and buy it!!!

In His Grip,

David Walter Wiseman

It is summer time!

Getting Close

Hello,

Today is June 14, 2016. I have not written for a while because of injury and illness. Both knees gave out on Easter Sunday. Then I caught a cold! Enough about me.

Xulon Press sent a Minor Change Form. This form's purpose is to correct any "minor" errors in punctuation or spelling in my book. Nancy & I spent days going through the book and reading line by line searching for these minor errors. We ended up with 116 corrections and an Appendix which wasn't in the book.

Now, the book is in the process of being printed...Praise the Lord!!! I will receive a copy of the completed book to review. The front cover of the book is brilliant! I am truly amazed!

When I approve the book, "Courage & Comfort", then you will be able to buy it! I will write a post and include the link to go to to buy my book.

Thank you all for your prayers and patience with me and this book!

In His Grip,

David Walter Wiseman

The only way to live!

The size of the blessing!

Good Afternoon,

Today is Thursday, March 31st. Recently, I received a "Minor Change Form" from Xulon Press. Nancy and I have been reading through the book and we have found several changes needed. I am very thankful to find the errors before the book went to publishing!

I am amazed at God's patience with me! Yet, I do not want to procrastinate any longer. Lord Willing, I will send the "Minor Change Form" in to Xulon Press today!

Cancer seems to spreading like weeds in a garden! My desire for "Courage & Comfort" is to give everyone who is touched by cancer the courage to go on in life! And the comfort that only God is able to give in abundance!

"May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." 2 Corinthians 13:14.

In HIS Grip,

Courage & Comfort in Processing

Good Afternoon,

I found out last Friday the 19th of February, that "Courage and Comfort" is going to processing. The next step is Publishing! It will not be long before you be able to buy my book!

Soon, I will post the link to buy the book. Also, I will share the image of the Front & Back page of the book.

Until then, keep checking my blog,

David Walter Wiseman

The book and more!

Good Morning,

Today is January 16, 2016. My last blog was in November. Well, I caught a cold in the beginning of December. Then my wife caught my cold. I recovered from my cold and then I caught my wife's cold! So, here I am writing a blog with a cold at 8:10 on Saturday morning.

Good news about the book! Xulon Press accepted my book with the editing boxes still in it. All I had to do was to change the book to Pages and send it in. At this time, "Courage & Comfort" is in processing. The next step is publishing! God is so good!!!

I realize that there are many people who are suffering from cancer even as I write. If you are one of those people, consider accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. I would not be writing this blog if it were not for Jesus!

All you have to say is, "Jesus, I know that I cannot defeat cancer on my own. I know that I need strength that I do not have. I realize that you did not give me cancer. Jesus, come into my heart and take over my life. Thank you Jesus for dying on the cross for my sins."

If you prayed that prayer, tell someone! Then look for a Bible teaching church.

If you have lost a loved one to cancer do not blame God! Satan is the one who causes evil in this world! God may have taken your loved one because HE knows what is good for each person HE created!
