Recently I was going through all of our debit card payments, looking forhidden subscriptions that I could cancel. To my surprise, my old blog site,“The Christian Monist” was still active, although I had not postedthere since 2016. The purpose of that site, which I had maintained for more than a decade, wastrying to make sense…

Five years this week, January 11th 2019, I was taken to Peace Health ICU as I was fighting for my life. My potassium level (due to previously unknown renal failure) was 12 mmol/L, clearly far above the lethal level . . . and they could not get it down. It looked grave. After many tests…

I still have my self-gag order in place, when it comes to writing here. Today I’m in the hospital doing a chemo infusion, and as they say, idleness is the Devil’s workshop.

Tomorrow I have my annual visit with my myeloma specialist in the morning and my visit with local oncologist as well as my chemo infusion in the afternoon. I will not know if my cancer is still in remission until my labs are back on Wednesday. I will do another post if there are any…

I spent the day doing my monthly IV chemo in Mount Vernon. It went well. Labs drawn, but the cancer results won’t be back until later in the week. I was reflecting this morning about where I was three years ago. Cancer still active, stem cell transplant having failed. There wasn’t much to be optimistic…

I’ve uploaded episode 3 of my “Cancer Cottage / Healing Hut” Youtube series. Again, this is mostly story telling about the adventure up until this point. This episode discusses the excavation and foundation part. When I get caught up to where I am now, I will make that clear if you want to wait and…

I’ve uploaded episode 5 of this series. Description: Western civilization, after 2,000 years, has now entered a post-Christian epoch. The hemorrhaging of people out of the Christian culture and the declining influence of Christianity on the greater society will only escalate in coming decades and that decline is inevitable and maybe not such a bad…

I follow several Youtube channels, two on archeology, a couple on geology, one on anthropology, one on astrophysicis, and (at least) a couple about people restoring old stone cottages in Europe, which was my original dream. After working with my grandson over the previous few weeks, developing a Youtube channel for him and his parkour…
