Happy Good Friday (and Happy Birthday to my husband, Mark. Wow! He’s mine.)

I’m sitting in the chemo chair this morning, completely aware that it is indeed a “Good Friday.”  I continue to be cancer free.  My recent brain scans were wonderful.  My side effects have been subsiding and I’m feeling stronger and so grateful to be alive.

Mark has been in a tough season too.  After surviving a heart attack last May, he recently underwent a cervical fusion and had several complications.  He neck is doing very well and the other issues are resolved.  His stamina is improving and he’s celebrating another birthday today.

Today is a “Good Friday” for us.

But not every Friday has been a good Friday. Continue reading →

A heart at peace, gives life to the body.  Proverbs 14:30

screen-shot-2016-11-28-at-5-27-07-am Throughout the Bible, Egypt fulfills a dual role both as a place of refuge and a place of oppression, a place to “come up out of” and a place to “flee to.” 

When I was diagnosed with cancer in 2009, I had to cancel my participation in a mission trip to Egypt.  I’ve always felt a little something special had been stolen from me. Last week I was given another opportunity to visit the nation that had slipped through my fingers.

Adele’s lyric seems appropriate as an opening line for my first blog in several months.  Ashley and I recently attended her concert, which was amazing, and ever since these words have been echoing in my heart.
