New step forward!

Well we finally completed the radiation treatment. 4 straight weeks of traveling to Rome everyday is done. Will start a new chemotherapy Monday called Avastin. It is an IV therapy that is taken only once every three weeks. Looking forward to some time to myself and maybe some fishing. This whole thing has just been too much. For someone who doesn't really like contact with people I don't know, having someone touch not my head everyday for 4 weeks has almost driven me the rest of the way to crazy. I got the results of my bone scan yesterday and thankfully we have only a couple of areas of interest. Will meet with my doctors soon to discuss those spots. It actually explained alot of the pain I've been having in my knee joint. I'm just glad to finally be seeing some progress and hopefully soon the light will be turned back on at the end of the tunnel. Keep praying and keep believing!!

What does "I AM SECOND" mean?

It's awesome the opportunities one simple bracelet brings to tell people about my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I've often had times starting conversations with strangers about God and Jesus, then God directed me to the I am Second website and my whole world has opened up. One simple statement, I AM SECOND, but such a profound message. And so foreign in this day and age. A couple of weeks ago, the guy that was making the mask for my radiation treatment saw my bracelet and asked my if that was the name of my band. Without thinking, I said no that's not who we are, it's what we are. I almost missed the puzzled look on his face until I noticed that everyone in the room had stopped and was listening to our conversation. What had been a two person conversation, had now turned into an opportunity. So I explained to them that it meant God's will comes first in our lives and what we want, need, or desire is second. Lift up God and He will draw all men unto Him John 12:32. One of the ladies said, "Well that's a simple concept". and I said yeah but one that is so often overlooked. This world we live in tells us that if you're not first, you're last. Second place is the number one loser. But if we are ever gonna reach a lost and dieing world, we'll have to become second. Today at the social security office, I got the opportunity to spend about 3 hours dealing with our Federal Government. Sitting back watching people demonstrate what it means to not understand being second. Talk as loud as you want, don't worry about the people sitting around you, be rude who cares, don't bathe if you don't want to, cover yourself with perfume, after all. It's all about you!!! Then in the middle of all that to watch the security guard try her best to wait patiently, to help each person that came in, to hold doors for people, to answer questions all with a I AM Second attitude was amazing( some of them folks, I was ready to strangle). It's not about you. This world doesn't revolve around us. Jesus Christ gave us the simplest message He could. You can't dummy it down anymore or make it more bubba proof. 1. Love God. 2. Love Others. SIMPLE and yet so foreign. I am amazed at the ways that people have blessed us since this all started. The demonstrations of love they have shown us has been overwhelming. And as I stop and look I notice that in these acts, I see an attitude that demonstrates what it means to be second. I have someone that sends me a card at least once a month with a message and a $20 bill. I have received more words, sentiments, and more money from other people but this card just gets to me every time. It's not because of what it has, but because what it doesn't have. I have no idea who the card is from. I honestly believe it is my gift from God showing that there are people out there that don't need credit or recognition, they just want to show the love God has placed in their hearts. I appreciate all the gifts and I don't expect to get cards with no names. God wants me to know who I need to know is helping us so that we can show our gratitude for letting God use you. Thank you God for something so simple as the plan of salvation. Thank you for helping me and giving me the opportunity to serve You. I look so forward to what You have in store for us as a family, band, and group of believers. I look forward to serving You further and please continue to place people in my path.
