Not the End

I have been using this blog as a way to share my journey through cancer and my recovery from surgery. But as I recover, I think God has some big things in store for my church in the next few months. While God is restoring me to health, I believe

This is probably the End, I'm recovery.

I am actively recovering from surgery right now. Most of the swelling will be recovered by December. My leg may take a little longer but it is hard to tell. The Doctor told me before surgery that I should be able to return to preaching in December. I trust him.

I'm Home from the Hospital

Well everyone, I made it home last night. I am so glad that I am away from the hospital. The surgery was a rough almost eleven hour surgery with two surgens. I have a long recovery ahead. My chin and right side of my face are heavily swollen as they

Friends, I’m resting and a couple days out of surgery

We I had no idea how this surgery would actually go. Mandy brought me to the hospital on Monday morning at 5:30 in the morning. The team of surgeons and doctors got started about 7:30am. Man, they cut on me for 11 hours. I got out about 7:

I'm in Surgery

So I wrote this letter yesterday afternoon to be delivered this morning. I am currently in surgery. I have had so many people pray for me while I have had cancer. I want to that everyone from the bottom of my heart. The doctor tells me that when this surgery

My Needs have Been Met

God is so amazing and I have trusted Him through all of this, however, my local Baptist association (Beaverdam Baptist Association). I knew that the Pastors, staff, and members of the churches were raising money to give me at our Association Event this Sunday night. I just received a call

One Week Until Surgery

As of today, I have one week until the most serious surgery in my life. I know that others have faced more serious surgeries but, for me, this is the most serious surgery I have faced and probably will ever face. On October 27, the best surgeons in South Carolina

Sickest I've Ever Been

While I don't want to sound worse than I was I do believe that I have just experienced the sickest I have ever been; at least since I've been diagnosed with cancer. So it started with over 6 hours of chemotherapy on Thursday. I woke up

Fighting that Cancer

Day 1- Oct. 9 I’ve been in Chemo all day. I feel good today. Chemo is the tool God is using to heal me. I sit in this chair for 6 to 7 hours each chemo day and have heavy medications pumped into my body. I have 5 different

No Chemo, no visits, no plans this week.

Well according to my medical calendar I have a free week. So you guys know, I don't plan the calendar. I wish I did. Chemo is going so well I would have it twice a week. No, I go to the appointments or treatments that the doctors schedule

New Day for Chemo

First Day of Chemotherapy

Yesterday was my first day of chemotherapy. Over the years I have heard so much about it but it but I was uninformed. I'm sure I will learn a lot more, but I learn a lot today. I have to say it wasn't a bad day.

Pain is real. But so is hope.

That is the point of why I am writing to you tonight, Over the past few months I have learned so much about dealing with pain. No matter the day or night I have learned to deal with pain. So many of you have prayed for as I have drank

I feel GREAT. Not physically but with HOPE!

Today was the starting point for Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy. I knew a lot about having to go through it but the doctor taught me so much about it. My first session will be Thursday. With all of the negative side effects I had heard about I wasn't sure

So Full of Love

This week has been filled with pain, In so many different ways I am so accustom to the pain that I experienced. But if has been filled with love too. I have had so many moments when people have share words that stood out. People have emailed I received many

The Prep Work before The Surgery

Well, I'm at home today. I was physically too beat to make it to church because of the new drug regiment for pain. My prayer is to be back next week so I can worship with my people. I can't talk or sing but I can

Come on guys! Let's Go.

So it appears that the process is starting tonight. I've had so many people write me to tell me they were praying that I felt many of you have been right there with me in prayer. Tonight is the official start of the "Let's Kill

God Knew Before Me

So I am still at Prisma Hospital in Greenville (South Carolina for this not near). Today is the night of September 3. And God has shown me where I was wrong. I Was Wrong 1: The hospital has been great. Their care and compassion as been unlike I have seen

The Room. The Ritual. The Real Starts.

So it is 4:15am. I've been wakened up so many times I'm wondering when lunch is. If you've been hospitalized you know they don't let you sleep. But as they say, It all has a purpose. My soul hurts this morning

The Battle Has Began

Yesterday began like the last Sunday. Mandy and I couldn't wait for the time to move, for church to start, and (personally) for Mandy to be my mouth since I can't talk.. When we left church yesterday Ken Nix said "You should go to to

Finding Joy

It is Saturday afternoon at 1:30pm. I find myself hurting as I just took my medicine about an hour ago and can't take anymore for 5 hours. I have a swollen tumor that is filled with cancer. The nerves in my face are reacting in a weird
