Day 55 and 56

I don't know who reads my blog.  I have an idea because people tell me that they do.  Seems some of you have alias' or I must have a lot of friends that are gangsta rappers.  Cbo, d-lo, 5speed, big mama, cabin23, upchuck, - you crazy kids with your crazy nicknames.

  I just wanted to extend an invitation to everyone out there in cyberspace to my church's Easter service.  If you don't already have a church service to go to, come out to our Easter Sunday celebration, April 24th.  It would be cool if you came out.  It's called Tenth Avenue Alliance on 11 West 10th Avenue (and Ontario).  We have 3 services- 9:30, 11:30 and 7pm.  June, Rhys and I will be at the 11:30 service.  We sit in the front, right side pews.  I know some of you haven't seen me in a while.  So you can come to church and also see me afterwards.  Coincidentally, Easter Monday, the 25th will be my last chemo treatment.  So celebration is in order and June and I would love to see you and chat.

Tomorrow is the start of day 1 round 4.  Last round is supposed to be the hardest.  I am thinking it's going to be my easiest round.  Attitude is everything.  Knowing it's my last round- I feel good.  Even my 32 hair follicles on my head have stopped falling out.  The words of Chris Tomlin's song, I Will Rise, keep ringing in my head.

There's a peace I've come to know
Though my heart and flesh may fail
There's an anchor for my soul
I can say "It is well"


Jesus has overcome 
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead


And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise


There's a day that's drawing near
When this darkness breaks to light
And the shadows disappear
And my faith shall be my eyes

Round 4...FIGHT! (streetfighter reference)
