The Fifth Trial
Let me start by saying that this blog is about my battle
with cancer. That last typed word “cancer” was the first time I used this word referring
to me (deep breath). The title The Fifth Trial (cancer) begs the question what
were trails 1-4. Trail #1- when I was 22 years old I lost my brother Ray (26)
to a brain aneurism (we were golfing). Trial #2- in 1999 I sent my mom and dad
on a cruise for my mom’s birthday. She died dancing with my father on the ship.
Trail #3- in 2000 I lost my dad to a severe infection. Both my mom and my dad
were 58 years old. Trail #4- in 2011 after 23 years of marriage Barb and I divorced.
The Fifth Trial is the first trial that involved a fight- I
love a good fight. For those of you who do not believe in Jesus, what I am
about to say may confuse you. This trial is from God for the purpose to build
me up and make me complete. I do not believe it was sent to destroy me! The
purpose of this blog is to communicate how God works and how He heals and
sustains His people. Please understand that I am fully persuaded that I will
survive, re-marry, and raise my new family.
I am praying for you, Greg. Your faith that you shared at Cal-Hi inspired me. I've always loved the Lord. But, you so earnestly showed your faith in Him and as a teen, that is not always easy to do. I will never forget how you showed others Jesus and your light was bright for His Kingdom.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI have a quick question for you regarding your blog, but I couldn't find your contact information. Do you think you could send me an email whenever you get a chance?
Thanks,
