Welcome!

I tried to get a website started over a year ago, but had no idea what I wanted to put here. People were telling me I should start one but for what? I know at least some people are interested in reading stuff that I write, but those things don’t create a unifying theme or direction.

Recent events have given me a better idea for a direction. Kind of out of the blue I now have diagnoses that include two types of cancer.

That kind of pronouncement gets your attention. It can either help you focus or destroy your focus altogether and, at least so far, I’m focused.

Fortunately, I’ve learned God is always with me as I travel through these bumps in the road. He’s demonstrated that time and time again. Whenever I felt like things were falling apart, I’ve always discovered He was just rearranging some things to lead me into a new part of my journey with Him.

All of us have times when life gets bumpy. It might be health issues, relationship problems, finances, or dozens of other things. And, unfortunately, life doesn’t have a pause button so we can stop everything else and just deal with the bumps. And even the bumps are rarely simple. If they were, they wouldn’t be bumps.

What I hope to do with this page is share updates of this journey so those who are concerned about me know what’s going on. Other kinds of writings and meanderings will likely show up as well because my brain rarely runs is a straight line for long. And maybe something I write might be helpful to someone.

You may see pieces on theology, cooking, barbecuing (that’s in a smoker), or random thoughts that seem worth sharing.

I assume you have some connection to me if you’re here, or are at least interested in what’s going on in my life or my thoughts.

Thank you. I appreciate your interest and hope what I produce here is worth your time.

A Word of Warning(?)

I am new to website creation. What you experience here is not just my journey with God and cancer, but also my journey in learning about creating, editing, and maintaining a web site. I’m sure you will experience less than ideal web design. Please be patient with me. Hopefully you’ll see improvement as I move forward with this endeavor.

Recently learned how to get comments enabled, although they are moderated.

Still need to learn a way for people to sign up to receive notifications. Currently, my skills aren’t up to that task, but I’m learning as I have time.
