This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Oh well. My doctor just called me. Biopsy returned positive. by The Flash

This is the deal I mentioned on the link a few weeks ago.

Meet with oncology next week to plan treatment. All internal.

I can do this.

I got this.

It sure puts life AND mortality into clear perspective.

Your prayers will be appreciated. Tell Jesus to remember David Jurist, the
one who faithfully followed Him all his years and always served His
church, the one who was called but was not chosen, the one who supported
His university despite the odds, the one who received little favor from
men and the counsels of men but did from His Father.

Nevertheless, I AM grateful for it all. Why? Because, "We now stand. And
we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory
in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to
shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the
Holy Spirit, who has been given to us." (Romans 3: 5)

Thanks, NDNation.
