Todays rambles CANCER SUX

This week Gator  and I got t he news nobody wants to hear.  His body is now rejecting chemo,
he will start radiation on a tumor that  has came up on the forehead. There is some chemo pills
that can be used, doc said they have very bad side effects.  The
longevity of the pills only prolongs the inevitable for 6 to 8 weeks.  Gator says he is going to continue to
fight, after all he is a Navy Seabee  which he has the fight in him.

Navy Seabee  here is some history if you are interested.

Gator, has been fighting colon cancer since 2017 it has not
all been peaches and cream thru this journey. 
I have seen him mad at the world, crying his out the next.
when he first started undergoing treatment , being woke up at
wee ours of the morning because he was literally sicker than a dog
or didn't make it to the bathroom,  you know it didn't matter 1 iota
I would do it all over again.  I am scared beyond belief, but never
show him, the tears have been almost non-stop whenever I go out
and about, right now the only thing keeping my mind busy is
being about to do some photography. 

Why do people that always do things to help others out, get
this disease?   Why does our Government allow the cure? yes I know
it would loose a ton of money.  Gator chemo is in the 40k per treatment (2 x a month) yes 80K
a month     Japan or China ( I forget now) has a cure personally I would not wish cancer
on anybody even my worst enemy, and dang sure wouldn't wish chemo on them. 
Why do people have to suffer so much when they are trying to fight?   I know God is in control
and believe in miracles, right now I am a whirlwind of emotions.   
Always tell everybody that you love them, as tomorrow is never promised

Todays rambling Gods fingerprints

Todays topic is Gods Gods Paintings

There is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman that says:
I can see the fingerprints of god
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of god
And I know its true
You're a masterpiece
That all creation quietly applauds
And you're covered with the fingerprints of god
So look around you and see where YOU can see God's fingerprints. Is it in nature? Kids? Animals? Where do you see them?

Are you a bored photographer?  Do you often feel I can't find anything to photograph?
Let me tell you friends, there is no such thing!!! look around, Gods hand is always there, showing you his beautiful creations.    I never have trouble finding a photograph, rather it be clouds, the water shimmering like glass, the tree that has a face, rocks, flowers, even your vehicles.

God, is always faithful through  his many blessings he gives us to each and every day.  next time
your out and about think about this, that God's fingerprints are all around us.

Tune in next week for a new Wed ramble


Romans 1:1717 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, 
just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”
