Well I thought I was doing fine but I still have some problems that need to be addressed. Seems the Lukemia has started up again and is giving me trouble. For that reason, more blood work today. I am beginning to see how people could get really tired of all this, but I must remember how blessed I am to have access to this level of care. 

I think of those in war zones around the world. Wished our government had a bit of self control  and restraint but, I think most know we have already crossed over the line in so many ways. I believe when they created the C.I.A. that is when lying became a fine art. Since that time up until now we have been pushing further and further away from God and it is only our God, who has blessed our country for these many years. I feel, as many others do, that reprisals are coming.

Well… went through the PET scan no problem and saw the doc. The report I got on that particular cancer was outstanding. All looks fine, no more of that active cancer visible. Come back in three months for checkup. Wow, thank you Jesus and thank you doctors and staff, what a gift. The ordeal paid off!

In a few hours I am going in for a P.E.T. scan to see if the cancer I had undergone treatment for has been cleared. I pray the Lord will help this scan to show cancer free. Won’t have the answer until tomorrow when I see the doc. I still have blood cancer to deal with, for those are so far incurable, but thus far that is being managed. 

Old age is something to deal with all right. I guess we just never figure were gonna wear out. I have a very good friend Kenny right down the street who, I am sure, in his younger days was a very formidable military man. He and I have been sitting on his front porch reminiscing over the years, hoping we still have a few more to enjoy each others company. We have both had our medical issues, but slowly, surely the Lord is helping us find our way through. Neither of us are too afraid of dying for we both love the Lord. Its just we enjoy life so much these days.

On the music front lots of new work is coming. New titles include America, Change and …but God. Sorry it’s taking so long. Like I was saying, these days, I’m about half fast. Love you all please say a prayer for me today. Know I am praying for all of you.

Thirty-seven years ago, I was a shivering denizen of the mad realm of alcoholism. Today, as I sit here on my back porch enjoying the fire, the birds, and my wonderful wife, I tried to remember what it was like. I just can’t get the same feeling to come back. However, I’ll never forget all the trouble it brought me. Yes, God has allowed the distant past to fade for me, and living in the now is who I am. 

I remember coming into recovery in my early thirties thinking I’m too old for this! THANK GOD I stayed. Like they say, “We’re sicker than we think we are”…amen to that! It’s been a long road coming back with many serious roadblocks over the years. Staying the course is so important because it’s the long term sobriety that we want for you. It’s all about getting closer to that plaque about serenity on Dr. Bob’s desk. Believe it or not, it will happen if you do the work and stay to give it away.
