GM Roper is one of our Blogger friends. On Thursday, January 26th, GM I was diagnosed with lung cancer. He has kept up his blog and I am so glad. Because it not only gives each of us a chance to post to him our well wishes and let him know we are praying for him.
Here are some portions from his blog regarding what is happening. Also his blog is wonderful so please check it out. The ribbon above is the symbol of his fight against cancer.

From GM Roper…………………..
“So, my catch phrase for the future is FIGHT ON! I am a fighter, I am a child of God and I strongly believe that he will sustain me through this fight. I hope you, my faithful readers will continue to come to this blog and continue to comment on various issues. Just as I have no intention of giving in to this disease, I have no intention of closing down the blog.”
“Discovery of cancer on the 24th, confirmation on the 26th, major surgery on the 6th of February, disturbing but ultimately incorrect news on the 7th, home on the 13th and today, Valentine’s Day, spent at home with my loved ones. How do I count all the blessings that this has entailed? How do I tell everyone how much they mean to me? How do I thank those that have reached out to touch my heart with prayers, with concern and a willingness to keep me in their thoughts?”
