Yesterday I received word through the RS email that an article had been written about my testimony (that I gave the first Sunday this month) in the Mormon Times by my good friend Kristine Frederickson. http://www.mormontimes.com/article/18373/A-man-who-is-thankful-for-cancer?s_cid=voices&utm_source=voices
It is very kind and complementary to me. Kristine had said in such a beautiful way things I have been grasping at to put into words for months. Thank you Kris.
I am still thankful for cancer. I am a better parent, grandparent, husband than I was six months ago, and I am certainly more in tune with the Spirit. I know that my Redeemer lives. He has carried me. I have felt his touch both literally and though the kind acts of prayer, love, and service rendered to my family. It is overwhelming. I know that the Savior died for my sins, but he also suffered my infirmities so he could succor my pain and grief. I testify that he has done that. He will do that for you. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
PS. Read some of Kris' others articles. They are great!
I (Paul) am the husband of a wonderful wife (Roma), the father of 5 terriffic children plus their spouses, and the grandfather of 20 terrific grandchildren. I love my country, my family, and my God. I enjoy living in our beautiful home. I love all sports. But grandchildren are the best! I have lived with brain cancer since June 2010 and I have lived 2 1/2 years longer than I expected.

Another Kind Act
My sister-in-law owns a quilting store. She has been looking for some ways to help Roma and I with our medical bills. Several of her customers at her store know Roma and have questioned Amy as to how they can help. So Amy (Roma's sister) has decided to hold a silent auction for the next 2 months auctioning off discontinued quilts and donated quilts. If you are interested read the poster for further details. There have been so many acts of kindness shown to us during this trial. We so appreciate everyone's love and help.
