I WILL SING, SING A NEW SONG...
OK, OK... I know you guys are probably sick of seeing my mug shot and Bono's on my blog. But, there is NO other picture that I have seen lately, which describes what I feel right now. Check out the above picture again. There is worship and reverence going on. There is a solemness that needs to be reserved for an occasion like this. I have lived my life for the last 30 years, looking for those places where the supernatural touches the natural. Where divinity touches humanity (thanks Picasso). When it happens to you, you are blown away. For today, just FOUR short weeks (which seemed like a year) after being diagnosed, GOD HAS HEALED ME OF CANCER!!!!
Stage A. Pure Seminoma. Looks like it was contained to the testicle.
WOW. Just WOW. It's pretty much over. Yes- I will probably continue to be poked and prodded in the year to come, but for now- it looks like the cancer is HISTORY!!!
My blood levels have not come all the way down. I have to go back in 3 weeks to make sure that they fall all the way. I may need some minor radiation in the future. I do have a small hematoma where the testicle was- which should be destroyed by my body over the next few weeks and months. I do have some pain in the incision still. BUT, I AM FREE. JUST AS THOSE TEARS RAN DOWN MY FACE THE OTHER NIGHT AT THE U2 SHOW, I HAD A STRONG FEELING THAT WAS JESUS, TELLING ME THAT HE HAD LED ME OUT OF THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH. Now, I stand in victory, because in JB, I'm nothing but a normal, everyday hack- but in Jesus, I am MORE than a CONQUEROR.
As my great grandpa Bateman prophesied last week, "you were chosen to bruise the head of Satan". God has showed Himself in POWER.
I'll write more later. I'm off to the Pond to see the boys from Dublin and thank the Lord for His indescribable gifts!!!
"You set my feet upon a rock, made my footsteps firm. Many will see. Many will see and hear."
