Hi, and welcome! Just like my home, the door is always open, everyone is always welcome, and no one is allowed to rush away.
I had the last in a long series of tests yesterday, a PET-G scan. This is the one where you get shot up with glow in the dark particles, then get to sit back in a really nice recliner for an hour and take a nap, followed by another nap for 30 minutes on a table stuck in a long tube. Just about like an MRI, but without any noise.
I go see Dr. David Zimmerman this Thursday at 1:30 pm, and I am pretty sure that Dr. Z will have my treatment plan all detailed out in terms of what, where and when. I will share that with all of you as soon as I can. Not sure yet what the treatment will be, but I am going to do my part, and I can do that because of your prayers. Beth Horrum gave me a framed picture of an enormous rock being held up in balance by a single guy. The caption Beth put under the picture says "The task ahead of you is not greater than the strength behind you". I look at the picture, and what the caption says to me is it is not what you see, a lone guy doing the impossible, but what you don't see, and that is the strength of hundreds if not thousands of loving caring people flowing though this one man, that makes a difference.
Each of you make a difference to me, and for that I love all of you. God grants us many blessings each and every day. Never overlook a single one, be stong and have courage, and God bless you all.

My brother Bill, one of my many heroes, suggested that a blog would be a terrific way to keep all of you who I love so dearly up to date on how things are going in my life, and because he is way smarter than me, I am going to do just that.
About Me
- Mark
- A few things I want to say right away. First, I cannot tell you just how important your thoughts and prayers for us have been, and continue to be. God has blessed me in so many ways I just can't begin to list them all. My family whom I love so very much. My mentors in Christ, Pastor Jess and Pastor Ted. My friends from Auburn, Marquette, from all the places I have worked, my Auburn Fire Department brothers and sisters, so many more. To each and every one of you, I say thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and prayers. They work, of that I am sure, as I feel your strength every minute of every day. And most of all, I thank God for granting us so many miracles, great and small.

Mark,
ReplyDeleteThe definition of hero.....
1 a: a mythological or legendary figure often of divine descent endowed with great strength or ability
b: an illustrious warrior
c: a man admired for his achievements and noble qualities
d: one that shows great courage
Having read that, I so appreciate your kind words but when you re-read the definition, you find that B, C, and D truly define you and who you are. I admire your passion to fight and to wage a war when many may choose to simply give up. As a warrior yourself, you know that thousands of more warriors are there, by your side, ready and armed to wage war against an enemy that is silent, stealth, and strong.
I look forward to your updates and wish you strength. My prayers are with you everyday and I continue to spread the word though my friends whose faith will be a source of strength for you, me, and our family.
I love you.
B-
