LIFE AT 67 - ALL IN!

As promised here is whats going on in my life today and the last few.  

ALL IN!  What does that mean to you?  If anyone reading this goes to St Louis Family Church, you know because its what we are about.  If you are reading this for the first time, you might not get where Im going with this.  I will give you MY feelings on what ALL IN means to me.  

When you are dealing with a deadly disease, and you have only heard negative thoughts from the doctors you are dealing with, its hard to stay positive.  In fact sometimes its darn near impossible.  To give you an example, the last few days has been hard.  TONS of pain, and honestly I "thought" I was going to die.  Im ready to die, but really dont want to, I have "work" in my opinion that needs to be accomplished.  I have 2 grandchildren that possibly sometime in the future might need me, and most of all, I want to see people find Jesus.  I believe we are likely in the very last days and there is very little time to reach people.  

So what does All In mean to you?  Long story short, Give everything you have, make yourself ALL IN for the glory of Jesus.  Dont be afraid to speak out for the power of Jesus.  Im all in for Jesus and HIS power.  When you have what doctors call a terminal disease you NEED to be all in.  When Dr's dont give you a chance in you know where, you NEED to be all in.  Even when some friends and family treat you like Job, and wonder why you can have the faith to be "ALL IN", YOU must be all in.  

I have no idea how long I will live.  It could be a day or two, or it could be 20-30 more years.  God is the only person that knows.

Be all in for this time.  For such a time as this!  You must be all in.

Getting back to the original thought, I had a PET scan today, I have no results at this time, probably tomorrow.  As of last week, the numbers were pretty much going the right direction.  I still need prayer for a lot of things.  Im dizzy a lot, NO COMMENTS from the peanut gallery, my platelets, white blood cells, and red blood cells need to come up.  The cancer marker, CA19-9 needs to keep going DOWN!  That is the big number that we need to get below 36.  Right now its 548, and it started out at 1217.  So Ive given all I know at this point, and I hope that my praying friends will continue to pray.  

I love all of you and am thankful for each of you.
