It's been a month

Well, a month has passed by and a lot of you have asked me to update the blog since receiving the good news from the doctor. Well, we have been busy with going to Canada with the boys. We had fun fishing and four wheeling. The weather turned great when the boys left I am sorry to say, but I think that they had fun. We got in trouble one night for going on a 53 mile trip that did not get us back to 10:30 at night. And in Canada, when it gets dark, it's really dark. Josh fell asleep about 25 miles from the cabin, so Ron first, then Steve T had to hold him and drive. It makes it hard when the brake is on the left and the throttle on the right, and Josh dead weight. It made things hard. Caleb and Micah rode with me and Ron had Ty. Ken ended up being the one in trouble since it was his idea.

Fishing, Steve T caught the biggest walleye. Of course, he is the one who doesn't particularly care to fish. The boys had their own rods that were purchased, but ended up making their own out of a stick, string, a bobber and a hook. The only one that fell in was Ty. We thought for sure it would be Josh. After the boys left Ken and I fished and we did well. One day I caught 43 trout and Ken caught probably 20. The next time we fished the stream I caught 3 and I think Ken caught 5. The walleye fishing was much better.

The girls took up a motto from a past presidential thing and it fit well. Every time we left the cabin it was "no child left behind." It was too much fun having them along anyways.

Well one of the reasons it really has taken me this long to put something down is that I have several of my friends out there reading this blog who have not been as fortunate as me with their test. I guess I have been feeling a little guilty about me getting a good report and them not. And I have probably become somewhat of a overboard person on healthy eating and what I see as advantages of alternative treatments. I figure God put so many people in my way when I was doing the conventional to change that I almost feel that this is a calling for me. To tell people to take charge of their health care and not go blindly into it. But I also want people to know that everyone is different. Both conventional and alternative medicine can help, it is up to you to do your job in checking it out. There are no silver bullets that cure one disease or another. I look at all the different alternative, their ability to do what they say and what the side effects are. I also read all the labels. Until recently I never read a toothpaste label. Have you? It amazed me that if you swallow more than a toothbrush length of a fluoride toothpaste, they recommend going to a hospital or a poison center. Don't believe me, just read the label. And when you do, keep on reading all the labels.

Well I will end now. Please pray for those out there who are struggling with cancer and not getting results that are positive. Many are taking it in stride, as we all will be with the Lord some day, but pray for a peace and not much pain as they battle on. Thank you all for the prayers you said for me, but now offer it up to my friends who need them more than I do now.
