Cancer

Today at work our associate director pulled the entire team together for a meeting. He first made sure that we were all there and then announced that he had Stage 3b lung cancer. Of course we were all shocked. On August 9th, he will be 43. He has not smoked yet he got cancer. Apparently there is Cancer in his family. He noticed that while in England earlier this year that he got sick and just couldn't get better. They did not catch it early enough. He is unoperable. I looked up his stage of cancer on Web MD.com, this is what it says for stage IIIB...

• Lung Cancer Stage III: Stage IIIA may be treated with chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Stage IIIB usually is treated with chemotherapy only or chemotherapy and radiation.

Wow, first my Uncle Del has end stage prostate/bone cancer, Al and Amy both have cancer and now Damon.

God has a reason for everything. My boss has been away from God for awhile and perhaps this will lead him back. We are not promised a tomorrow, we must be ready to go...

These verses were in Marion's blog recently...(thanks Marion)

"In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps"
(Proverbs 16:9)

"Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails."
(Proverbs 19:21)
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
(Matthew 6:34)

Thanks for listening.
