Once again, somebody needs your prayers

Category Personal

My sister Tawni is currently undergoing treatment for uterine cancer. Please include her in your prayers.

I'm getting a bit tired of this whole cancer beast. It seems like every time I turn around somebody else I love has picked it up in some way.

Let me tell you, with the possible exception of some dementia inducing (such as Alzheimer's) diseases, I cannot think of a more horrendous, evil sickness than cancer. Granted, there have been some success stories (my buddy Tony, my buddy Greg, my friend Cindy from church, my cousin Jodi, my Father, and my Mom), but there also been the tragic, unnecessary losses (my uncle Frank, my cousin Todd, my aunt Eileen, my grandma Gunn, my buddy's Mom).

If you're looking for a charity to give to, there are hundreds of cancer research groups that can use your help.

Gravatar Image3 - So sorry, Devin. It just seems to keep coming at you. I'm hoping for another success story like mine. You are in my thoughts. Stay positive and call me at any time to talk.

This is your Crucible...where you will either melt or be forged stronger. I'm betting on the latter.
