Category Five

In the sermon we heard yesterday, the pastor likened dark times in our lives to Category 5 Hurricanes. He said he's observed four types of responses to impending hurricanes:
1. Avoiders (load everything up and head out of town)
2. Oblivious (sit on a couch reading Louis L'Amour novel and drinking tea)
3. Obsessed (keep running to WalMart for more supplies to ride out the storm)
4. Defiant (kid on a skateboard catching the wind in a plastic garbage bag)

I thought that relative to cancer, maybe I'm a 4. So far. It is not my master. I want to extract every last drop of grace that blows in on the winds of the storm. But, the pastor said, none of the four coping mechanisms is enough. What we need is a real solution--Someone strong and caring enough to provide safe refuge no matter how bad it gets.

Yes! That's why I want to keep on FROGgin'. By now you know FROG means Fully Rely On God!

Sweet kemo is at 10 this morning. Friday I'll have a blood test. Next week as soon as we get the results I'll let you know.
Love,
Carol
