thanks guys for your prayers, my throat is back to normal, i'm gonna have to get over worrying just because i have a sore throat. my dads cancer came when he was 78, i'm only 53. there is always something good in everything, it did cause me to think of all the people it would impact, my children, wife, family,and even me. GOD is so good, his love, mercy, grace, teaching, and even his disipline. he reminds us how short our lives are here, the short time we have to spread the gospel with the people we meet, that he is still in charge, and our need for him, i give him thanks for everything.
