Hi Brent,
I agree this surely is a life changing experience. I just brought my dear husband home from the hospital a few days ago from having had surgery to remove a cancerous blockage in the sigmoid area.

Thanks for sharing and your faith that God is in control. Keep looking up and write some more, please.
