Many moons, worlds, world events, and journeys have transpired since I wrote last here, Dear Jesus. I must say that my perspective of You has been so deepened by watching The Chosen, the mini TV series that tries to explore the world you tried to the complexities of you as both human and both God. I’ll try to catch up on that later. In the meantime for any who might read this, yes, I am still alive. I went through a second clinical trial which removed the outside of my lung, one of my diaphragms (and replaced with Gortex) and a whole bunch of my lymph nodes; put me through chemotherapy for any stray cancer cells that may have gotten loose; and then subjected me to Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy for 6 weeks where I was bombarded with computer guided x-rays to hopefully remove any other offending cancer cells. I’m still technically and medically “hopeless” but four years have transpired since that draconian regimen and I am still here. So, thank you Dear Jesus, thank you to the many good doctors at Sloan Memorial Cancer Center and to the overwhelming prayerful support I have received. I have continued to work online and am looking towards retirement within the next year or two. MUCH has transpired with family, life, and fledgling attempts at starting a Catholic network for education purposes — little success there to date. I hope to be returning here on a bimonthly basis to continue imploring you Jesus for your help with the challenges I face and to seek your guidance as to how to bring the joy and hope of life now and in the future in heaven to more around me.
