I’m not nearly as close to who I personally used to be. My studies have opened my eyes to things I never dreamed about. I know I have someone somewhere concerned about just where my mind is.

Old age is indeed a place I’d rather not be, but here I am. I am planning on seeing seventy-five in about three months. Once I get there, I’m sure my mind will steady out a bit. I have health concerns to get past. I have likely posted about this some time ago. I have prostate cancer, but it’s stable. The prognosis is ten years out with slow to no growth. It is to be monitored only.

I have another issue that concerns me. I’ve been taking a strong anti-acid drug called Rabeprazole. I have GERD. It keeps me from having heartburn. I’ve not known of anyone in my family with cancer except one of my brothers, but he was a half-brother.

I say this even though having said I have cancer. The issue is that no males in my family lived past sixty for at least three or four generations back. With them not having gotten as old as I have, it becomes apparent to me that it comes from following God’s voice and pursuing His calling on my life.

He came upon me a few years ago and rested on me while I wrote a small book that has been published. God has given me life abundantly, and even though my body is exhibiting the signs of aging, He still has me doing things.

I have to get past this year in my life, and I will forge ahead for another while.
