Well, it feels weird when I rub it

I posted about this earlier, but need to add to it.

A woman at my church was experiencing persistent back pain. I knew what was wrong.

Her doctors confirmed what I knew already: she had pancreatic cancer. The MRI showed it and the symptoms were right.

She decided to follow the Biblical command to call on the elders for prayer and anointing with oil.

The elders, and all of the congregation, laid hands on her, prayed over her, and out pastor anointed her head with oil.

Prior to treatment, her tumor was needle biopsied to determine the course of treatment.

There was no pancreatic cancer to be found. There was cancer, but it was a very treatable lymphoma. She counts that as a miracle of God. So does the rest of our church. God is still at work. He loves us. He wants us to be close to him. Jesus makes us close. Trust Him.

She started chemo, and the doctor told her her hair would fall out in less than 12 days. I promised her that if she lost her hair, I would lose mine.

I cut it all off this morning, even shaving with a razor. I keep my hair really short normally, and it doesn't feel any different unless I rub it.

Or wear a hat.

I wonder what it will feel like when I go to sleep tonight.

Speaking of hats, my friend bought some hats to wear until her hair grows back. She didn't want a wig.

I just ordered some new hats for my BBQ team. When they come in I'll give one of those to her to wear. She'll like that.

That was better than a sharp stick in the eye...

Pretty happy here this week in my little corner of Wisconsin.

Once you get outside of the liberal bastions of Wisconsin's big cities, we common folk be purty darn conservative.

We elected a conservative governor.

We flipped the State Legislature and the State Senate to red.

We elected a conservative US Senator.

Know what that means? No?

It means Republicans will control redistricting once the census is done.

AND...


Wait for it


Wait for it


Wisconsin will pass a concealed carry law! How sweet is that? A few years ago, both houses of the legislature passed a concealed carry law with a veto proof vote. Of course, ---king Doyle vetoed it, so it went back for the override vote. But amazingly, one effing senator decided that the bill was now no good, despite having voted to pass it earlier. He flipped his flipping vote and the override failed. On top of that there were other shenanigans that got pulled previously by the "D's" when this bill was sure to pass.

Not again you effing jerks.

There, rant off.
