Read my experiences with this cancer...I explain it in detail there. I do not believe "luck" had anything to do with it.
My Sacral Chordoma Bone Cancer
It was literally an answer to prayer.
We had many people praying for us, friends, family, members of our congregation, and many, many here on FR, others I have been involved with at Klaamath, Jarbidge, and elsewhere, parying in Jesus name for His will and His tender mercies.
When down in Houston initially in Jan-Feb 2010, to meet, get fully diagnosed, and set up for the surgery, we began looking. I was very worried about where my wife would stay and her security while I was in the hiospital for 3+ months and she would be coming and going at all hours. While searching we signed up then, in February for the Faith House waiting list.
On the way back to Houston from Idaho in April 2010 for the surgery (almost exactly 2 years ago now) we still had not found a place and were getting concerned as we literally drove into Houston...as we passed the Woodlands, north of Housto,n coming in on I-45, we gat a call from the Faith House and we literally drove right up to it and signed up...they then extended our stay for an extra two months to cover my rehab.
It was simply a blessing, a tender mercy and answer to prayer, for the which I remain humble to this day and give all the credit, glory and thanks to a merciful and loving Father in Heaven and His Son, Jesus Christ.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if the mormon church provided facilities like Faith House? That multi-billion dollars spent on the new mall on Temple Square could be helping the needy instead.
