Back to Work

This Thursday morning Judy woke up refreshed and ready to tackle the world. O.K., maybe not the world, but at least her job. She is an amazing woman. God has been so good to us in the midst of all this craziness.

We're so used to cancer being a bully and usually fear the worst when we get hit with the "C-bomb." We all know people who didn't do well with cancer. My concern has been for our children, scattered over the world. They've not been privy to the doctors' expressions and upbeat attitude. They were not with us in the holding area prior to Judy's surgery Monday to hear us joking and laughing. They're just aware their mother has cancer. But Judy and I are extremely hopeful that this will be behind us soon. I don't think we're in denial about the cancer--we're fully aware of what would have happened had Judy not had the checkup and followed the doctor's concerns. We're also fully aware that we've discovered this thing early in it's development; have been aggressive in getting it out; will be aggressive in taking steps to preventing it's return. Bottom line: we sleep very peacefully at night and have clear minds during the day. Who could ask for more?

Was so surprised that Judy was already back at work. God is good. Am keeping you in my prayers but this time for thanksgiving.
