Ain't that the truth!
Jude,
What you say is so true! I have had to humble myself to accept help, to ask for help, and be gracious. I have been so very blessed by family, friends and sometimes....strangers! I am extremely grateful and yet, it is so overwhelmingly difficult to accept. *I'm* not the one that needs that! It's my job to help others. Oh yeah, I forgot about that whole canzer thing...maybe I qualify. Ick. Keep the faith.

Hey Jude,
I don't
Hey Jude,
I don't want to start a religious argument on this group,that's not it's purpose, but not everyone here may share your sentiments. Personally I don't believe that God gave me cancer as a lesson to me or to anyone else. Would your sentiments have been the same not too very long ago when getting colon cancer was a death sentence? Modern medicine and my own determination got me through this, and those still struggling to make it through this horror shouldn't be made to feel guilty that their cancer was a result of displeasing God.
I'll hop off my soapbox now. ...Carl0 -

Hi Carl,
You missed my point. I didn't say God inflicted me with cancer...I said He allowed me to have cancer to use the experience to encourage others. I am very much alive. Would I have a different attitude if it was a death sentence? Who knows what tomorrow will bring...could be another bout with cancer. Will I be upset...you bet. Will I curse and blame God...not likely. I'm sorry if I offended you. It was not my purpose and I'm sorry about that.
Another point, what in our society today can we get a unanimous agreement on??? Health? Medicine? God? Politics? Cancer treatments? Etc, etc, etc.
I'll hop off my soapbox too...can you help me down??? ;-)
