Today's Scan

The phone has been ringing off the hook today at the church with well-wishers inquiring about my scan. My secretary, Kaye, told me to hurry and post my entry so people will quit calling!!!

Thanks for your prayers today. I could sense God’s presence the entire time. My scan went well, with no complications or side effects. The worst part for me was not being able to eat or drink since midnight last night! I will not receive the report until I meet with my oncologist tomorrow at noon and resume my chemo treatments.

As I sat in the waiting alcove just outside the exam room, I was reminded that my life changed dramatically when I sat in the same chair three months ago. MY LIFE was changed. MY FAMILY’S LIFE was changed. MY CHURCH’S LIFE was changed. But here is the amazing thing: Everything has changed for the better! Yes, I have cancer. Yes, the chemo treatments are horrible. But my walk with God is so much deeper and more rewarding. My ministry is more powerful and anointed. My church is growing. Thousands are being drawn closer to God through this website. God reminded me today that He can make good things happen when tragedy strikes! I am a witness to that truth!

Please pray for me overnight. I am hopeful and optimistic about the report I will receive tomorrow. But regardless of the report, my God is still on the throne, and my life is in His hands! I love you!
