MercyMe is a wonderfully Godly group of artists who has shared some amazing songs with the world. “I Can Only Image” is a wonderful song that got them started. For many, it is their “my song“. For me, I have many “songs”.
That being stated ….
Right now .. at this point in my life .. “Say I Won’t” by MercyMe .. is my song.

It is not common knowledge of what occurred 2 years ago in my life. I do not broadcast my personal life to the world. My doctor noticed some “not normal” things at my yearly checkup. Some “levels” were off in my blood work. That led to me visiting a doctor at the Kirkland Cancer Center. Take a moment to process THAT one. The doctor there noticed some “not normal” things in their blood work as well. I then had a bone marrow biopsy done. PAINFUL. For the first year, I had regular visits and blood work done. Each time, things seemed “okay”.
Today, I went for a 1 year checkup .. Okay, 2 years from the first visit .. I feel fine. The results were clear. I have nothing to worry about.
I am sooo full of emotions.
Today, the clinic was full. Many different people at different levels/stages of various “illnesses”. Some … Some clearly have been in some harsh battles. I am overjoyed that I did not have to schedule any more visits at the Kirkland Cancer Center. I am overjoyed that I am “healthy”. I also feel some guilt … for “being” healthy. I know, to some, that sounds crazy. I know many people who have not been able to say those words. I am blessed. I am very blessed. I know that God has a purpose and a plan for me. I am still a dad to a … get this … ALMOST 18-year-old … yeah, let THAT sink in.
I could ramble on about other things that would only fill up space and “beat a dead horse”, as the phrase goes. I have shared what I feel led to share.
God is THE God of Love..
