I am not an early morning person, but I’ve been awake since the wee hours.

I have a strong stomach until the beginning of each month when I’m popping Justin’s zofran and swallowing bile.

Because here we go again. Another round of life-saving poison to search out and attack abnormal cells, keeping blood cancer at bay.

And this time Job 23:10 is churning around my mind. “He knows the way that I take; when he has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.”

Now Job had big problems. But he also had faith like old bubble gum stuck to the bottom of his shoe that never would come off.

This is the kind of faith I need today. Grace be with you, my friends.
