Reading over the last few posts, I realized that we know people who've been battling cancer or other diseases for a lot longer than I have. Not that it invalidates the stress I've been feeling, but it helps me to remember that I need to keep my eyes on the path and on the Lord! Life is an endurance race, not a sprint!!

Soli Deo Gloria!!
