It has been a long time since I posted anything, mostly because we have been very busy with other things. Since the last blog the big news is that I am still cancer-free which continues to amaze the physicians at Mayo.  At this time I am still working as a dentist and have opened an new office that I truly believe was a gift from God.

My hip is continuing to give me grief as I still have a pathologic fracture in the iliac bone of the hip and the soft tissue around the area is still very inflamed at times, which has led to me being on and off of crutches.  As I work through this I am still standing on God’s Word for healing and the strength to carry me through.

I would say to anyone reading this that believing is not ‘easy’ as it requires a ‘firmness of stance’ that at times make no sense and can make you look a bit crazy.  I would encourage you to continue to seek a relationship with God and know that He is always there, even when it does not look that way.  This is definitely the path least followed, but it is the correct path.

Life is a gift and a miracle in itself.  Whatever your belief about man’s origin whether you are a creationist, an intelligent design fan,  an evolutionist or a mixture of these theories,  the opportunity to live on earth as a human is truly remarkable and a privilege.  Grab it and live it to the fullest because in the end you will not have regret.

For me living in this world with all of its problems is placed in the shadows by the knowledge of a loving God, that created me in His image and continues to love and watch over me until I am called home.  The ride won’t be smooth, but His love and faithfulness will keep us and bring Glory unto Himself.
