Well…that wasn’t good…
Yesterday. My PSMA PET scan took place. Injected with a Radioactive liquid. Purpose. More accurately “trace” my Prostate Cancer and where the tumors, lesions and nodules have migrated. The results where not what I was hoping for. The scan confirmed that my cancer has spread and still believes it can win this battle. This war.…

Scan day…
Today is PSMA PET scan day. This is a scan that uses “targeted tracers” to located everywhere my cancer has spread to. This will help guide treatment after my present round of Chemo is completed (Round 5/6 one week from today). Help decide will there be a substantial break from Chemo or will round 2…

When God touches…
Early morning flight to Nashville this morning, for the annual fundraiser for a Michael W Smith youth ministry we heavily support. #Rocketown I intended to write my blog on the flight. Didn’t. Then I thought I’d do it during lunch. Didn’t. Later I found out why. We had a little time so we decided to…

Jimmy V…
Jim Valvano – better known as Jimmy V. Jimmy V was a successful college basketball coach. Most famously known for leading the heavy underdog NC State to the 1983 NCAA National Championship. I can still see him running around that court – hands in the air while smiling and cheering. The biggest advice he had…

Light beats darkness…
Today, Debbie & I will be heading to a Michael W Smith event at The Cove. The Cove is in a beautiful mountain setting at Billy Graham’s place near Asheville, NC. The event is very intimate, with only 300-350 people. So refreshing. We have been other times and leave refreshed and so much more in…

Rocky…Rocky Balboa
Let’s see a show of hands. Who remembers the Rocky movies? Especially the first? Here’s a fighter. A relatively ordinary fighter. Except. He didn’t let the punches get to him. He saw the goal. The target. And he continued toward it. Blow after blow he absorbed. But he kept moving forward. Anyone feel like that…

God – if you put me…
Yesterday while Debbie and I were listening to some Christian programming – we heard this said – “God, if you put me in this situation, there must be more to me than I think there is.” Once again, said another way. God will never put us in something that is beyond what we can handle.…

I’m back
To borrow those two simple words from Michael Jordan as he told the world he was returning – to basketball. The last 2 weeks have been hard. Physically trying. Exhausting. Emotionally draining. But through it all. Through everything I’ve gone through in the past number of days, it has never been spiritually empty. Jesus was…

Dear Younger Me…
Love this song by MercyMe. Catchy tune. Great words. Talks about going back to tell Younger Me what to change. Before it happened. Before the pain. Before the hurt. But would we? Would you? I’m not sure I would. If I had the chance. What we go through. What we experience. Makes us who we…

Don’t You Worry…
Their are a few points that I’ve tried to regularly bring up. That God brings to my heart. Two of the biggest are. Don’t worry Don’t fear. God has it. Jesus has it. Worrying only affects the worrier. And not it a good way. Worry is depressing. Worry is discouraging. And suffering through that –…
