There was hardly room for all of us on the path today.

Today I am tempted to call one of those tour bus companies and have them make me a bus for the rest of my journey. In the course of one day, I spoke to at least 6 good dear friends on the phone, at least 4 wonderful international kids on line, enjoyed an evening with our best friends, my wonderful daughter, and my energetic men's group from church, which included the special gift of all of those incredible people praying over me for total healing. It just doesn't get any better than this. Especially when you throw in a trip to JB's for the best steak in Cincinnati, freshly baked Key Lime pie from Jane, who just also happened to semd a;pmg a loaf of home made Goeta, homemade cookies, homemade candies and of course, some more Graeter's Black Raspberry Chip ice cream. I'm getting to feel pretty humble and pretty good here. From what Cindy and I have researched, this was supposed to be an unpleasant journey down a difficult path. Well, don't tell my cancer gremlins, and jump on the bus, because with friends, love, prayer, warmth, good food, laughter and the love of the Lord, this trip, so far has it's grand moments. I know I joke and make light of this, but I really do feel so incredibly blessed when my days go by filled with such a rush of goodness and love. It truly removes, or certainly diminishes, the parts of the journey that we don't like and feared. The pain, the incredible fear of tomorrow, the uncertainty, the frustration, all of which they warned me of. It just takes my breath away when i went upstairs tonight and just felt so incredibly loved and cared for. my aches, pains and fears soothed by the love, prayers and laughter of friends. Replaced by hugs, best wishes, delectable morsels and stretched out hands of God's love. Jump on the bus, there's plenty of room and everyone is welcome. I am so blessed and you are so warmly loved and appreciated. God bless you all!
