| About |
| I am from Gettysburg,
PA and am now retired from long distance truck driving. I have crossed this
country in about every direction you can. I've been to 48 continent states,
Mexico and 3 provinces of Canada. I had an injury in 95 and ruptured a disk in my neck and was off work for a year fighting with workman's comp. After a year of fighting with them in 99 I settled with them but the settlement was just enough for me to live off for a year and study computers. I knew I had to find a new profession for my truck driving days were over and computers were open to any that wanted to learn. I am self-taught and try to keep up with the operating systems but with the way things change so quickly MS Office I have the basics instructions up on this site and they work with all versions of MS Office. Web design I do for local business. Charities I love doing sites for and I do not charge for my work. So if you have a web site you would like to have done or finished I will be glad to help but once up you have to maintain. Once up I will be glad to help you learn how to maintain the site. Some of the web sites I have done are: Gettysburg Borough, I did there first site, Adams County S.P.C.A., Dino's Pizza, CW Hauntings Ghost Tours, Comfort Suites Gettysburg and some others. The work I do is to serve God and to do as He commands and to "HELP" others with the skills He has given me and hopefully they will do the same for others. Colon-Liver Cancer, God, My Story Before I get into my story I want to give a natural cure for colon cancer. This works because I know two people who used it, one they gave 3-6 months to live the other one 6-12 months. I did not choose to follow this cure and put my faith in Jesus instead but these two people are still alive today. One it has been over 5 years and the other even longer, not sure how much though. The best way to prevent cancer is to build up the immune system and God has supplied a natural way to do that too. Carrots are the best to build the immune system. Take 5 large carrots and run them through a juicer and drink this every day. Some add three stalks of celery, and one apple... Now buying these items at the local grocery store can get expensive so if you have a farmers market go there and see if you can buy a 1/2 case at a time. Here is the email I got from one of the two who used this in case I wanted to use it. Rick, I’ll try and tell you what I did when I was told I had cancer. I started a diet of juice consisting of five large carrots, three stalks of celery, and one apple every morning. I also started taking a Mushroom pills, a full spectrum triple mushroom complex,consisting,of maitake 400 mg,reishi 400 mg,shitake 400 mg. I buy these Pills on the internet @ www.swansonvitamins.com. At a cost of about 12.00 per month. The selenium, and zinc supplements.I buy them at local grocery store I Use the brand Careone. I see my chemo doctor every six month they draw blood ,and run tests the doctor told me they can tell if there is any activity of Cancer.By the tests they do. My doctor are at Hershey medical center. I wish you good luck. And hope I have been able to help. Note any thing you can do to aid your immune health is helpful to Your cure. Bob I know most people think of God's healing as being or happening in a split second. To me God is healing me of cancer but doing it in a way I can glorify His name. To me that is or could be my purpose in life. I believe in the power of prayer and faith as being a major part of any healings God will do. My faith is in God and He wants to heal me and will heal me, all I have to do is pray and believe He will heal me and I do. But don't get me wrong. I felt as though for the colon cancer that He wanted me to have the surgery and I did. I had such a peace about the surgery and that same peace came back when I felt that I shouldn't do the chemo or use a natural cure but to let Him cure me and that is why I made the decisions on my battle with cancer. Each person is different and jus because Jesus healed me of liver cancer doesn't mean He will heal you the same way, just keep in mind that I also had surgery for the colon cancer. I said when I found out that I had Colon Cancer that I would do what I could to glorify Jesus through out my recovery. I want to go back before I found out that I had cancer and start there so everyone knows how I got to where I am and from where. But before I start I would like for you to pay attention to the small things that happens to me that I feel God is telling me He is and was there for me such as the IV in my right arm and I asked a nurse to move it to the left arm so all IVs were in the same arm and she said no. Last fall I became anemic and the first thing I looked for as to a cause was a change in meds I was taking for Rheumatoid Arthritis. The one change was Methotrexate. I quit taking it to see what would happen and in about 2 weeks my blood count was back to normal and my breathing was back to normal. That seemed simple enough. Then a few months later I became anemic again. I looked at the meds again and tried stopping some but nothing changed for the better, only worsen. While trying to find out the cause I went to the doctor and they suggested a colonoscopy so I set up an appointment. While at the appointment the doctor seemed in no hurry about doing this procedure and said he wouldn't be able to schedule it for 3 months so I just forgot about it. Seemed he didn't think it was too important and he was a Christian and we prayed together as he did with all his patients. Seems through out all of this God had a schedule He wanted to follow, a timeline knowing that I would use this to glorify His name. He used that and a timeline that worked best to achieve this goal. I have no doubts God will completely cure me of cancer but it is in His time, and if He were to cure me all at once I wouldn't be able to glorify His name so what I am going through right now is okay with me. The doctors kept asking if there was any bleeding in the stool and I said no because there was no visible signs of bleeding. About that time I developed a pain in my stomach which was very similar to an ulcer I once had so I tried everything I could for the cure of an ulcer. Nothing helped and the pain kept getting worse and about 3 or 4 days a week I hurt so badly I couldn't get out of bed and if I did I had trouble eating anything. So the doctors set up another appointment for a colonoscopy which I went to. While there I felt more like a number than a person for treatment. I was really upset I kept this appointment. I asked the doctor what the purpose of this test was and was told to check for bleeding. Well my next question was just how did they check before we had all this technology but didn't really get a satisfactory answer. I just canceled the test, I was that frustrated with them. A few months passed and things got worse and finally I went to Hanover Hospital Emergency Room. While there they did test and I was border line for a transfusion to help with the anemic condition so they didn't do it. The doctor suggested a colonoscopy and this didn't make me happy so I told him what I had been through and why everyone was so set on doing this procedure to test for bleeding. He said he could test the stool and in about 2 minutes tell me if there was bleeding. My reply was if there was bleeding in the stool then we would take it from there. There was bleeding but a very minimal amount. So we discussed things and we agreed the problem from the symptoms was caused by an ulcer so he wrote me a prescription for something that would help heal the ulcer. I went to the pharmacy to get it filled and the insurance company refused to pay the $150 for it. Said I had to have the doctor call them and explain why I needed this drug. Well the doctor that wrote it said the doctors at the emergency room didn't call insurance companies and that I would have to have my doctor call. I called my doctor and asked him to call the insurance company and he said he didn't write the prescription and couldn't call. So a week or two passed and things got worse. I finally got upset with everyone involved and called the insurance company myself. We had quite a go around and finally I told them they would pay for the prescription or I would go back to the emergency room and have them check me in and I would stay there until this was solved and if they thought the $150 was expensive they were about to find out what expensive could be. They still refused to fill the prescription so back to the emergency room. This time the doctor suggested they take a look at the upper track to see what was going on with what we thought was an ulcer. While doing that they suggested I should do the colonoscopy too so that is what we went for. I spent 4 days in the hospital that time. They pumped fluids into me for the 4 days, I was dehydrated and gave me 2 pints of blood. The results were Colon Cancer, Pancreas Cancer and also liver cancer. They set up a date for surgery in which they would remove a section of the colon. At this time I emailed my friends and asked them to pray for me and that I had all the confidence in the world that Jesus would heal me. His word tell us that if two or more gather together and pray He would go to His Father and He would answer our prayers. The results were amazing, so many emailed to say they were praying and submitting my name to prayer list and chains. I was so over whelmed it was hard not to be positive about the outcome. It was just so amazing how positive all the replies made me. I went into surgery with no doubts in my mind that Jesus was going to be there and I was to be in His hands and what a comforting feeling that was. Things were starting to go forward and the doctor that was going to do the surgery started to explain what was going to happen I stopped him. I told him that as far as I was concerned that he was only a tool that Jesus would use to heal me and that if he didn't have anything positive to say not to say anything so we left it like that. We scheduled the surgery and he put it off for a week, made me wonder for when I left the hospital the last time he stressed how important it was to get this surgery done. Surgery was 6/7/2010. After surgery I had a laptop to use and was checking emails. So many of the emails I had no idea again who they were from but seemed like everyone in the world knew about my problem and was praying and sending me words of encouragement that just raised my expectations so high I knew Jesus had to be behind them all. So many people were concerned about how I was doing. Now back to what was happening in the hospital and as you will see many mistakes were made but with each mistake God corrected that mistake. Things that should not have happened did but with each one they solved another problem no one knew about. One such mistake was a severe pain in the middle of my back on the left side. They thought it might be a blood clot so they sent me for test. There was a blood clot but not there, the blood clot was in the right lung which they found by mistake. Come to find out the pain in the middle of my back on the left side was the bladder was backed up that badly. Once they drained my bladder the pain went away. This is just one mistake they made but God used it to solve a problem they didn't know about. IF it weren't for the pain on the left side they would not have found the blood clot in my right lung. Another one that amuses me was they sent a nurse in to remove an old IV needle and to put in a new one so they could connect a new IV. They removed the old one and I asked the nurse if they could put the IV Needle in the left arm with the other IV needle so both would be in the same arm. I didn't want to have both arms tied up with tubes. She looked at the left arm and then at my right arm and said no, be easier to put the needle in my right arm. She didn't even consider putting them both in the same arm. So in went the needle and she left. A short time later another nurse came in to connect the IV but before she did she took the needle in the right arm out. So I asked her what she was doing and she said she was going to put in a new needle to connect the IV to. I said they just put in the one you took out and she freaked out. She couldn't believe she took out the needle they just put in. So after taking out the new needle I asked if when she put it back in if she could put it in the left arm so all tubes would be in the same arm. Guess what God saw to it both IV needles ended up in the same arm regardless what the first nurse felt like doing. Now who would have thought the nurse would have taken out the needle they just put in, I didn't but God did and answered me by seeing they both ended up in the same arm. While doing this He also let me know He was right there with me, what a wonderful feeling. There were other mistakes like these two, things that shouldn't have happened but did. As I look back from the time the problems began to now I can see so many ways God was there for me and I could see Him at work and it was amazing how He works. The emails and prayers were so inspiring I never had a negative thought about anything even when there was a problem or mistake made. I knew God had things under control. It is amazing to watch God work. Jesus was there and still is with me every second and watching over me so how can I have any doubts as to the outcome. Jesus has a lot more work for me to do and I will be here till He is finished with me and no cancer is going to take me before it is His time. So get used to me I am going to be here for a very long time. They set me up with an appointment for chemo on June 21st, 2010 but while talking to the doctor I felt so uncomfortable and that peace I had was gone. I've decided against the chemo and natural cures. Once I prayed about this the only thing that got that peace back for me was turning over the liver cancer and letting God heal me. Since I've made that decision that peace is back and I am confidence that God has healed me of the cancer. Each time someone mentions chemo or natural cures that peace leaves me and does not return until I pray and ask God to renew it for me and that my faith is in Him healing me. Now that brings us all up to date and I must say thank you to all who were praying for me, sending me cards and even though I wasn't keeping up with the emails and texts messages they inspired me. I guess it was Jesus' way of letting me know He was there with me every second of it all. I can't explain how much of a difference it made knowing all those people were praying for me and I knew if Jesus said in Matthew that if two or more gathered together that God was hearing from a lot more than two and that He would ask His father to answer those prayers and that is the greatest feeling a person can have. So all I can really say is "THANK YOU ALL FOR THOSE PRAYERS AND ENCOURAGING WORDS." Mat 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. Mat 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. July 6, 2010 After getting this email and going through my time with cancer and the doctors telling me I have less than 5 years to live with chemo and 6-12 months without chemo this day has been something else. I had a doctor's appointment this morning and the nurse asked me if I was going to go chemo and I said NO. I told her that I put my cancer in God's hands and by doing so I figure I have about 15 to 20 years to agitate people because I believe He has cured my cancer. Her remark which caught me by surprise was God does heal and she said she would pray for me. Now when I hear things like this it just reinforces my belief that God has healed me and this is His way to confirm it. After getting home I got the following email and again I feel God is telling me everything is okay. Howard County Sheriff Jerry Marr got a disturbing call One Saturday afternoon a few months ago. His 6-year-old grandson, Mikey, had been hit by a car While fishing in Greentown with his dad. The father and son were near a bridge By the Kokomo Reservoir When a woman lost control of her car, Slid off the bridge and hit Mikey At a rate of about 50 mph. Sheriff Marr had seen the results of accidents Like this and feared the worst. When he got to Saint Joseph Hospital , He rushed through the emergency Room to find Mikey conscious and in fairly good spirits 'Mikey, what happened?' Sheriff Marr asked. Mikey replied, 'Well, Papaw, I was fishin' with Dad, And some lady runned me over, I flew into a mud puddle, And broke my fishin' pole and I didn't get to catch No fish!' As it turned out, the impact propelled Mikey about 500 feet, Over a few trees and an embankment and in To the middle of a mud puddle. His only injuries were to his right femur bone, Which had broken in two places. Mikey had surgery to place pins in his leg. Otherwise the boy is fine. Since all the boy could talk about was That his fishing pole was broken, The Sheriff went out to Wal-Mart And bought him a new one while he was in surgery So he could have it when he came out. The next day the Sheriff sat with Mikey To keep him company in the hospital. Mikey was enjoying his new fishing pole And talked about when he could go fishing again As he cast into the trash can. When they were alone Mikey, just as matter-of-fact, said, 'Papaw, did you know Jesus is real?' 'Well,' the Sheriff replied, a little startled.. 'Yes, Jesus is real to all who believe in him And love him in their hearts.' 'No,' said Mikey. 'I mean Jesus is REALLY real.' 'What do you mean?' asked the Sheriff. 'I know he's real 'cause I saw him,' said Mikey, Still casting into the trash can. 'You did?' said the Sheriff. 'Yep,' said Mikey. 'When that lady runned me over And broke my fishing pole, Jesus caught me in his arms And laid me down in the mud puddle.' His love is always with you His promises are true And when we give Him all our cares You know He will see us through So when the road you're traveling on Seems difficult at best Just remember I'm here praying And God will do the rest. FAITH IS NOT BELIEVING THAT GOD CAN.... IT IS KNOWING THAT HE WILL! July 16, 2010 It really amazes me how much Jesus does for us in a day if we just watch to see what He is doing. Walking is a passion of mine, I love walking the battlefield and talking to people. Some of you will call it agitating but I really try my best to behave myself on the battlefield. The last two days I didn't go for a walk, I used the excuse it was too hot but I love the hot weather but just didn't feel like going and when I miss a few days like that my legs get so sore 2 miles is about all I do. Today I went for a walk and being hot I was thinking how far I was going to go, 2 miles, 21/2 miles and while thinking about this I heard this voice say to the top of Little Round Top. Well my goal is to walk to the top by the end of July, it is about a 4 mile walk, but today when I heard this voice I said lets go Jesus. I can make it with your help. This hill is a hil if I had kids I'd take them to this hill to climb it just to wear them out so I could rest that night. Even on my best days I dread this hill and the worst part is only about 1/8 of a mile but I dread it. Today I decided to go up to the top and things were really going good till I got about 1/2 way and then I started to breath a little hard. I just said Jesus if we are going to make this hill I am going to need your help and we are going to take one step at a time. Up the hill we went, and after a few steps my breathing calmed down and I made it the rest of the way. By the time I got to the top I was breathing a little hard but in my best days before the surgery I was panting like a dog by the time I got to the top. Today I really felt proud that Jesus took a walk with me. I think there are a lot of things we do in this world that Jesus wants to help us with but we just don't ask, don't think of it, don't trust or believe He will help us and the reasons go on. I think if we watch what is happening around us we will see Jesus offering to do more for us and we will see Him do more than we normally do. My little thing with cancer made me more aware of Jesus and what He wants to do for us and I pay attention to what is happening and I see Jesus' help a lot more now than I did. Life gets more interesting as each day passes and we all have a reason for being here and a man a long time ago told me if Jesus puts His hands on you that you can't run from Him and I really believe that and those of you who doubt this watch what happens in your life and I'll bet you will see Jesus helping you each day.
