Good Dad News

Just a quick note while I’m pretending to be taking notes at work.

My Dad had the follow up appointment with his doctor to review the latest CT scan which was done on Monday. The CT showed that God is healing my father and whether He is using Gleevac I will leave up to you to decide. Whatever the case, the larger tumors that my Dad has (primarily on his liver), are shrinking. The smaller tumors, which are not causing problems at the moment, seem to be stable or possibly shrinking. There are no new tumors.

Basically, this is the best case scenario. Additionally, the doctor discovered that my Dad had a sinus infection which his immune system appears to be handling quite well which is another good sign regarding his overall health.

Anyway, it is great news and a great relief to my family.

Praise God.

Let me add my Thank You to everyone. Especially I'm thankful for your prayers. Maybe God will heal, but whatever He brings, I'm confident it is response to those many of you who have prayed diligently that His will be done. It brings me peace and joy, and even, dare I say it, some optimism for the future. Thanks to all!

Dad

Dad, glad you got to read just a few of the people that are in your corner on this one. Mostly, I'm glad you have good reasons to be optimistic

The myth of fingerprints

Shorter post today. I thought it would be better if you knew up front. I teach a business law class to junior and senior business students at a couple local colleges. I do it because I enjoy it and one of the colleges is a local Christian school I like to support. One of the things I have come to enjoy is how predictable people are in groups. Get a group of people together and you will always have certain personality types and people playing certain rolls. It is like the various versions of the expression that goes something like, every group of people has at least one person that the rest of the group makes fun of when they are not there. If you can not identify that person in your particular group it is because that person is you. ....or so the saying goes. Anyway, every year I teach this class the "same" people sit in the same places in class, dress the same and make the same comments. They are actually different people, most of whom don't even know each other

So Much Going On

Man, I wish I had time to blog, because there is so much going on right now. I just started at a new firm. It is the firm where I started my career and I could not be happier to be back. To make it even better, after going through 16 different secretaries, I now am working with the best of the best and she decided to come with me to the new firm making a good situation that much better. In other news, my lovely wife and I just got back from the Zoe worship conference in beautiful Fresno, California. Here were some of the highlights in mostly chronological order: We left the kids with the grandparents and drove down. That’s right we drove the 12+ hours from Portland to Fresno. Apparently, we are just too stupid (and by “we” I mean “me”) to figure out that gas prices probably make flying cheaper, so then the only thing air travel has going for it is the time savings, convenience and lack of extra miles on the car. Good thinking by us. I love a road trip, but this was just dumb. That said

I Left My Heart.....in San Diego

Out of nowhere, I am going to San Diego this week. Every year my oldest and bestest friend (not including the artist formerly known as StumpTown's wife, of course) meet in San Francisco to see a couple Giants games. This year we were having trouble getting something scheduled and then out of nowhere he has some extra travel budget he has to spend or lose (he visits colleges as part of his job as a college counselor at a super posh prep school in LA), and needs to visit some of the schools in San Diego and wouldn't you know it, the Giants just happen to be in town this weekend. So, a quick frequent flyer free ticket later and I'm hitting the road, or air, or whatever. I will fly out tomorrow and come back Sunday. We should get to see a couple games and I'll be able to catch up with some other friends from college along the way. Should be great. So, I may not be able to post anything new here the rest of the week, though I am taking a laptop with me and have high ho
