This type of night!

Good Morning,
I believe I slept about 5 hours last night.  This happened to many times as I was going through cancer treatments.
I would wake up, in the hospital, and not be able to return to my sweet slumber.  A person can watch TV for  only so long.  Getting up and putting on my slippers, I would take hold of the pole with wheels which all the fluids were dripping into my body, and walk around the Cancer Ward.  Almost sounds like a Prison Ward.  I wanted to get out of that place, but there is no way out!
I was a high school football coach for many years, so the nurses and doctors would ask, "Coach, how many laps have you done?"  Usually,  I averaged 10 laps.
For those of you who have not step foot into a hospital,  all the rooms were step up facing the outside walls.  The Nurses Station is on the inside.  Think of a football field, that's the Nurses Station.  Where the fans sit is the hospital rooms and the space between them is the Track.  I did my laps on the track of the Cancer Ward.  Got it?
God asked me, "As you pass by each room, hold out your hand and say, 'Blessings.'"  Every room was filled with people fighting for their life.  The Cancer Ward is not a happy place.
In a little while,  Nancy & I will be going to see our grandson!!

I hope and pray y'all have a great weekend!
(oops, a little texan accent got out)

Busy Weekend!

Weekends are good, yet they seem to go by too fast!  It's Sunday night at 9:04pm and I have a few moments to write to you.
I'm still amazed with all I am able to accomplish over the weekend! Six months ago, I would not be able to do what Nancy and I did this weekend.
On Friday, we went to the Huntington Beach Farmer's Market.  Oh my, it was a hot afternoon even at that the beach.  We bought a book for our grandson Jim, then drove up the coast.
Saturday, we woke up later than usual.  We got carried away with our bible study time and all of a sudden it was 2pm!  Howard's is a nice charming place to eat. We always eat breakfast there, but had lunch for a change.  We came home and watched a movie.  End of Saturday.
Today has been a long day!  I woke with bites on the left side of me head.  We went to Church...always good.  Now, I needed to vacuum the bedroom. mattress, curtains, floors, bathroom, and in the front room.  Meanwhile,  Nancy is washing all our bedding. At one point, of course, we needed to eat lunch so we went to Polly's.  To walk off the food we just inhaled, we went to Boot Barn which was right next door.  Keep in mind, out here in SoCal, it summer time HOT!!! Just about five minutes ago, Nancy brought in the last of our bedding.

Oh yeah, my business cards came on Thursday.  Nancy ordered them from Vista Print and they look great.  The card has the title of my book. My name and this blog.  Plus I'm on Fb.

Nancy and I are going to watch a movie now, so God Bless y'all!

The Book!

Hi my people,
Forgive me for taking such a long break from blogging!
The Book is taking more time eddying than I thought.  I had to change the format, take out all tabs, and numbers though out the the whole book! I do believe I finished that today!!!
Why is it so important to get it done, you may ask?  I need to have ready to send into Xulon Publishing before this Friday.

With the Holy Spirt's help, I created the "Back Page" for the book.  I am sure Nancy will change it, but that's good with me.

Oh yes, if I get all my files into Xulon by Friday, then my book will be displayed in New York & Orlando, Florida. Please pray that I cam complete my mission!

That's all for now....

Long Day

Yesterday was a very long good day.  It started with church at 10am.  Then off to pick up my Aunt who lives 30 minutes south of us.  Then to Yucaipa to surprise my Mom at her favorite restaurant.  The trip took 2 hours one way.  Nancy and I got home around 10pm.  12 hour day!  It was a great day!

We are still having problems printing the book!  Please pray that we would be able to get the book printed!

For  those of you who read Oswald Chambers, "My Utmost for His Highest", one question caught my eye today,  "The Lord's questions always reveal me to myself."  What does that me to you?

You know, I'm a better man after Cancer!  I hope and pray for people who have cancer that they will look to God for courage and comfort.  Think of cancer like this:  It is a battle for your life and seek courage from God to fight it.  Then look for moments during the treatments that are funny.  I had a nurse who liked to say, "By golly" to start and finish every sentence. Pretty soon, I was saying "By golly!" There are comforting words, prayers, visits, and phone conversations.  Look for them and you will feel joy even in the midst of your suffering!

Remember, if you cannot leave a comment about the my blog, I'm still working out the "bugs."

My cancer book

Well hello my blogging public,
My first blog is to let you know about by book, "Courage and Comfort  How a wise man walked through the Valley of cancer and strokes."
I find blogging about my book amazing!  I'm 51 years old, this is really cool to get the word out about my experiences in life and cancer and strokes.  The strokes I have had are called TIA's or mini strokes.

I will add a picture of myself as soon as I find a good one.

Facts about me:  I am married to Nancy for 5 years.  I have 3 daughters and she has 1.  They are all grow up and out on their own.  We have a grandson who is six months old!

Because of my cancer treatments, I am bald.  I don't miss my hair at all.

See ya on the next blog!
