" 'It's a tooma!'
Unfortunately, my friends it is a tumor and it is bad. After enduring tremendous pain in my lower back and legs last week, getting admitted to the hospital and undergoing multiple tests, the docs have determined that I have stage IV melanoma that has metastasized throughout my chest, lower abdomen and head. Doc has given me 3-6 months and I moved to hospice today. My morale is good because I know that God has already performed the greatest of all miracles in my life- the forgiveness of my sins and the hope of eternal life through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. My prayer is that I can remain pain free and functional as long as possible and that everyday can be a fruitful ministry opportunity.
We are developing a website that will post more detail that I will link to as I am discovering that not all my friends are on Facebook.
Looking forward to hearing from all of you."

Most importantly we need to make sure that our convictions are shaped by scripture--not culture, church culture or my books."
