We need to understand our priorities.

Colossians 3:1 - 4 (NIV) 1Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ, who is your£ life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

I have heard it said that a person was so heavenly minded that he was no earthly good. Well That statement is one that the devil got Christians to buy into. We need to know and understand our priorities. Our priorities are not earthly but heavenly. And we are told to set our minds (our affections)on things above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. That is where the source of all of our life comes from. We are not to get our mind set on the things of this earth.Our time on this earth is the shortest time period of our eternity. The choices on this earth must be made from our heavenly understanding.

Blessings on ya!

Update on Pastor Kitner and the Cancer Treatment

An update on me as I progress through this cancer treatment. I am into the third week of radiation/chemo treatment. I am feeling pretty good even though I get tired fast and have no stammina to speak of.

I have seen a surgeon and he has said that the operation will end in a permanent colostomy with a bag for me because there just isn't enough good tissue to reconnect the sections of the lower bowel without going into the area where the cancer cells were before the radiation/chemo treatment. He has said that if he would do the reconnect with that tissue that the reoccurance rate is really high. He indicated that the cancer could return within one year after surgery. The radiologist said that the reconnecting the bowel in this situation would not even gurantee me to have control over the functions of my body.

Now I have several oppinions from the human doctors but there is one doctor that I am consulting even as you read this. His name is Doctor Jesus the Great Physician. He will have the final word on what will happen in my case. He has info that only He knows and He has abilities that other Physicians don't have.

The scripture that the Lord gave me the day before I was to find out I have this cancerous mass in my rectum is as follows:

Isaiah 54:16 - 55:1 (NIV) 16 “See, it is I who created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its work. And it is I who have created the destroyer to work havoc; 17 no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the LORD.

I will see the Oncologist that is taking care of the Chemo treatment process on Thursday (5-22-08) of this week. He will give me some more input from the blood work I am sure and explain some other things to me. I also will ask him some questions as well.

Have you ever wanted to quit?

When you go through the fire and the flood what are your reactions to these trials of life?

Have you ever wanted to quit?

There's a tendency in everyone to want to quit on something in life. Couples give up on marriages. Parents quit on their children. Students give up on the academic dreams. CEOs quit on their company's. And unfortunately, pastors often give up on their churches, especially on Monday morning.

James 1:4 says, "Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
Let me encourage you today to not throw in the towel. Don't give up. I'm reminded of the great spiritual song, "This too shall pass." Sure, it may be tough going for a while, but God can use it to help you become spiritually mature. Going through helps me grow up.

5 Reasons not to quit:
1. Adversity makes me stronger.
2. Simply outlasting my critics is a secret to success.
3. Staying power builds leadership credibility.
4. Quitters live with too many regrets.
5. The greatest breakthroughs come after the greatest test of our character.

Rediscover Low-Tech - click here

In our fast paced hi-tech society people sometimes run past the real things of life without slowing down to smell the roses, so to speak.
I have found that since I have been diagnosed with cancer that I look at things a little differently. I don't get in a hurry so much and I have stopped to think about the real aspects of life more than I took time for before, because of the pace we set for those seemingly important things. Well just what is important? Think about it.
Click on the title above and read an article from the "Pentecostal Evangel" that takes us back to those low-tech things.

PREACH THE WORD!

PREACH THE WORD! These are some of the last words Paul wrote to his young protégé Timothy; his son in the faith, to whom he had entrusted that significant and magnificent church at Ephesus. The reason Paul gave Timothy this charge was because of the power of the Word, “all Scripture is inspired and is profitable.” Another reason to “preach the Word” is that the End Times will feature teachers who will say what “itching ears want to hear”; they will turn the ears of the people from truth to myth.

Update on the treatment of the cancer in my body.

I have received medication for chemo and the radiologist office called me today to set up a time for the treatments to start. Monday I go in for films and then we will set up the times of treatment for the 5 day a week schedule for 28 treatments of both radiation and chemo pills. My understanding is that after the treatment is over there will be a 2 week resting period for my body to recover and then they will do surgery. That would put the surgery toward the first part of July. That is their plan so far. If it changes I will surely place an update here on my blog for all to read.
I have an appointment with a surgeon on Friday May 9 at 10:30 am. His name is Dr. Armanious. Please pray for all my doctors.
