I know there are many people struggling right now, for a variety of reasons. I am one of them, have several serious issues on several fronts. Please say some extra prayers for those in need and send out good thoughts. Thanks

I will be back as soon as possible.

This is a good read with worldly and scriptural wisdom that speaks to us all.

Unbeknownst to me, but maybe not to some of you here, I just found out that our Care2 member and my dear friend Glenn is in a critical and perhaps terminal medical situation. I am asking for prayers, and good thoughts to be sent his way. Here is a post from another group him and I are a member of. That is how I found out. Here is the message. Glenn F. Just last Monday, my doc told me that my condition is serious. He put both of his hands firmly on both of my shoulders and said "This is serious Glenn. This is very serious." He urged me to see a certain specialist at one of Chicago's teaching hospitals. He then told me, if left untreated, I may only have 3 to 4 months left. Unfortunately, with treatment, I may still not survive. He said that 40% do not survive the treatment. Not great odds. Right now, I am leaning toward enjoying the last few weeks of my life and skipping the hellish 3 to 5 months of treatment. I have some BIG decisions to make during the next few days. I sure can use your prayers that I will make the right decisions. I don't have room for error in this situation. Most of you have noticed that I am rarely online and rarely respond to e-mails. Unfortunately, I just don't have the energy to respond . My red and white blood cell count is extremely low. I have to push myself to take daily walks or gentle kayaking trips on nearby lakes. I am hoping that the cardio vascular workout will get my blood flowing again. I try to be physically active 1 1/2 to 3 hours a day. After expending all of that energy, I don't have much left. I hope you understand. Strange thing: Besides the low energy level, I feel great. I don't look at all sickly. Not in the slightest. It seems incredible that I may be just weeks away from death's door. I am still hoping that the doctors are wrong. This photo below was taken on June 4th - the day after I was told I need a bone marrow transplant. It was taken just 5 days before another doctor told me that I only have 3 to 4 months to live if I skip any treatment. I sure can use your guidance and prayers. Please forgive me if I cannot personally respond to e-mails. I feel like God is tapping me on the shoulder and saying that it's time to prepare to go home. So much to do. So very little time left. I may have less that 120 mornings before I close my eyes in prayer and say "Thank you, God for a most wonderful journey. See ya soon on the other side." Best wishes always, Glenn
