Have you ever thought about your thought process and the power of the mind?When a person is faced with adversity the mind can be our greatest ally.Last week I was at St Thomas Hospital undergoing bone scans.A bone scan is not much fun to say the least.You lie on a narrow table while a camera goes over while you are perfectly still.As I was lying there I began to think about a young man by the name of Kevin Downs.This young man was blown up in an ambush in Irac defending our great country.He lost the use of his arms,lost both legs and was burned over 80% of his body.He was only 23 years old.I had the opportunity to meet Kevin last year at his birthday party when I had the priviledge of riding with the Roling Thunder motorcycle club.His attitude is amazing,a very positive young man.As I lay there on the bone scan table I realized how blessed I am to only have cancer.Whenever I start to feel bad,mayby my back is hurting more than usual,mayby it’s my sholder or any number of other things,I try to remember how fortunate I am to live in the greatest country in the history of the world where I am receiving excellent medical care,have a loving family and meaningful relationship with God.Whenever I think things are going a little rough I try to reflect on others who have had it a lot rougher than I.Many times,especially in my emotionally lower times ,I reflect on what Jesus endured on Calvery.Can you imagine the pain and humiliation Jesus suffered,all for a crime he didn’t commit.

I would like to thank each of you for all your prayers and also for visiting our website christianswithcancer.org.Our site is starting to reach more and more people.We are averaging about 50 visits a day Yea God.

Hals health:Praise God my scans are still stable and I feel good.

I wish each of you a fantastic week.
