Love Beyond Life: Sudden thoughts...
http://love-beyond-life.blogspot.com/2012/01/sudden-thoughts.html
This is how we know what real love is: Jesus gave His life for us.' 1 John 3:16. Monday, 16 January 2012. I haven't posted anything in aggggeeessssssssss! But this suddenly came to me last night and I couldn't ignore it. I'd heard this as a fact so many times before, but I think this time God wanted me to accept it greater than ever. Even when I got into bed that night I was thinking, how can God rejoice over my weaknesses, my insecurities, those parts of me that are so messed up? So after the loving yet...

This is how we know what real love is: Jesus gave His life for us.' 1 John 3:16. Saturday, 5 February 2011. A few weeks ago I decided to read through Proverbs- which, by the way, is an absolutely incredible book of the Bible full of wisdom (obviously, as Solomon wrote it! And really powerful words. One night when I was reading it, two passages in particular stood out for me. The appetite of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the appetite of the diligent is abundantly supplied. The first verse says...

Musings and Leanings: The Sixth Cycle
http://musingsandleanings.blogspot.com/2011/06/sixth-cycle.html
Sunday, 5 June 2011. I imagine it is a sign that some of the intensity has gone out of a situation when the frequency of blogs on the subject dies down. Well at least that’s what I’m telling myself as I realise I haven’t written for a while and haven’t even kept you up to date with how Janine fared with the 5. Very well is the answer to that and it was the best cycle yet both in terms of the side effects during the treatment and in the recovery. Cycle might have prevented it. It should in theory have sta...

Musings and Leanings: The Appointment
http://musingsandleanings.blogspot.com/2011/04/appointment.html
Wednesday, 6 April 2011. Janine had her scans today as planned and we travel up again tomorrow to get the results. Well, I say the results, we are going to get a preliminary view and then there is a team meeting at which the detail of any future treatment will be worked out. At least we will know what impact the chemotherapy has had and whether any future treatment is likely. Up until yesterday, it had been a really good week for Janine. It was a dark December afternoon and I thought we were going to see...

Musings and Leanings: Done
http://musingsandleanings.blogspot.com/2011/07/normal-0-false-false-false.html
Thursday, 14 July 2011. When we were told back at Christmas that Janine’s treatment would last six months, I wasn’t sure that could be right. Surely three to four cycles of chemotherapy couldn’t take that long when they were every three weeks. But here we are six months later and with the treatment only just finished. Not that we can complain as the treatment has done what it was intended to do and the scan Janine had last week showed that she is still in remission. Where does faith come into all this?

Musings and Leanings: Sixes
http://musingsandleanings.blogspot.com/2011/06/sixes.html
Friday, 24 June 2011. Six games to a set, 6 balls to an over, 6 cycles in a treatment regime. I may be stretching the point but perhaps there are some common themes to our summer. Actually, that really is stretching the point isn’t it but I needed an introduction, Janine is lying on the sofa watching Andy Murray, I wish we were watching the cricket and it all sort of came to me. In fact, she has been home a week and, having recovered very well with minimal side effects, enters her neutropenic phase today.

Love Beyond Life: November 2011

This is how we know what real love is: Jesus gave His life for us.' 1 John 3:16. Friday, 4 November 2011. At the moment, I'm reading through Acts which, no mater how many times I read it, continues to just astound and inspire me! AND WHILE they [Peter and John] were talking to the people, the high priests and the military commander of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,. So they laid hands on them (arrested them) and put them in prison until the following day, for it was already evening. There m...
