Been there, done that, got a t-shirt

It's funny how God foreshadows things in your life...

Have you ever seen those commercials for one of the hopsitals in Louisville. You know, the one with people holding a sign that says "cancer free for ___ days, ___ hours, and ___ minutes." Ever since I saw that commercial for the first time, I've wondered if I might get one of those signs one day. I'm sure most of you have heard the song by Tim McGraw Live Like You Were Dying? It kinda made me wonder the same thing. What if I got some disease like cancer. How would I live? Not that I'm a morbid person. At least I don't think I am.

It's interesting though, that God began preparing me in little ways long ago for what I'd be going through. He takes amazing care of me. I don't show my appreciation for it nearly enough. Seriously though, I have no idea how often He saves my butt or blesses me beyond belief and I don't even realize it. I have got to be the most blessed person on the planet and I'm so blind to it. How did I get so loved?

Funny point: You know those T-shirts that say "Body piercing saved my life" with a cross or something like that on the back? Whenever I'm messing with my incision, one of my roomies tells me that I should make a shirt that says "Body peircing saved my life... twice." Hee hee. That makes me laugh.

By the way, I've been cancer free for 19 days, 18 hours, and I have no idea how many minutes :-)
