6th anniversary of my dad’s death
Well, dad died 6 years ago. 🙁 Haven’t stopped missing him… haven’t stopped thinking about him every day. The recent health scare with Maryellen certainly was a little more “real” because of my memories of 6 years ago.
Tonight though (I’m writing this on Thursday evening), I found a video from EJ, Jr. Ernie Johnson has been the “third wheel” of TNT’s NBA broadcasts for years now, being the straight man between Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith. He’s always been great… fantastic, really… EJ has cancer, has been pretty public about it. This video explains how he’s done it.
I don’t want to get too preachy, but I do know that personally, MY relationship with Jesus Christ has gotten me through really hard times. Hard times that continue today… and every day. God came to earth as man in Jesus and suffered and died for every single one of us who believes in him, no matter what. That is called “Grace.” Here’s EJ talking about his cancer and his relationship with Jesus….

I love that pic of you and your dad. It makes me weepy.
And you can get preachy, just as long as you stay peachy.
WOW – it took my old dial up about an hour to download that, but it was well worth it! Your faith helps strenghthen mine as well – Thank You!
That is an awesome video, one of inspiratiion, hope, and a reminder to us all that it absolutely is not about us, no matter how much we want to try and make it. I am sorry for your loss of your father, but I am excited that God has blessed you and the world with more time with Maryellen.
Thanks for letting me see that video and sharing it so openly, it has served as a valuable reminder and helped me to strengthen my faith, once again. If you ever want to talk about your journey with Christ, I would love to talk… just call me.
So powerful, yet so simple! Thanks for sharing!
