A Post Coming Much Late

I'm sure my loyal readers have wondered about my absence.  I am sincerely sorry that this absence has remained unexplained.  A month or so ago I experienced a severe health setback and it turned out to be advanced cancer.  After a hospital stay I came home and am taking both radiation and chemo and my days have not been easy, to say the least.

If I manage to lick this thing maybe someday I'll be back.  Should that not happen I'll thank all of you now who have stuck with me for so many years.

Much love and warmest regards.

Dearel Friend

We may not always agree, Scribe. But we do on this subject. I say Prayers only for special occasions and this is one of them. All my best and will fight this fight with you if not in person but surely in Spirit! A quick blurb from time to time would be appreciated. I do so miss your columns.

Prayers coming your way may our Lord heal you as we would surely miss your presence. Blessings to you and your family.

Very sorry to hear that. It's happened in my family, too. I will pray for you. Your salvation will come through Jesus Christ. Romans 10:9

Many thanks for such lovely comments. And special thanks for my dear Carol who sent to me two lovely and healthful gifts from her beautiful products. Both me and my family were so touched by your kindness.

Carol said...

Please do keep us posted! And I hope this all turns out well. You've added much sunshine to many days with your writings!

TheRandyGuy said...

Let us know how you're doing.

Stella Brown said...

Miss your messages very much. To that I will say may our precious Lord give you strength and piece. God bless you and your lovely wife.

I haven't checked in to this page for quite some time (not at all in 2020), but I dropped in today to see what I've missed. Was very sad to read about your health issues and pray that you are recovering and doing well and that the next time I visit I will know that you are okay. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers in the meantime.
