I know that roller coaster ride all too well. There is nothing like bringing our focus back to the Cross during this time. Prayers Scot.

Grace, mercy, and peace to you my brother, from God our Father and our Savior Jesus Christ. We have never met, but as your brother in Christ, fellow LCMS pastor, I feel the Lord leading me to contact you. I just went through what you are going through right now! I was diagnosed in October 2008 (anal cancer) and completed my treatments (some surgery, radiation therapy, and chemo) in February. As of this writting I am now cancer free!

There is life after cancer! There is grace… mercy…. and peace through Jesus Christ. I am praying for you… and I am here for you if you should like to speak with a fellow beggar, one who has been where you are going and can testify that the Lord is good… even through cancer. Feel free to email me if you need my perspective and/or support.

Good Morning Pastor K, I have been praying for you and wanted to send you a note but just didn't feel like I had the words to say that would help. I am so thankful that when I do pray for you the Holy Spirit in my heart talks to my Father with groanings that cannot be uttered. Praise be to the Spirit who always knows how to pray, even when we don't. From your post I pray and believe that the same Comforter who prays for us is giving grace to your soul.

I know “thank you”; replies are sometimes viewed with the same disdain as “Amen!”; posts, but I want to say thank you. Truly, your kind thoughts and prayers, especially the prayers, are appreciated by me and my family (they are reading along with you). So,

Will, thank you. I’m reading Starcks with a whole different set of spectacles.

Scot,

You just got onto my prayer list as well – I'll be asking for you each day: mercy, life, peace, health, salvation, visitation, pardon and forgiveness of all sins, that you might ever praise God's holy name. Pax!
