I came here to write a post on my political comment about Senator Kennedy, but then I thought about that for a bit. I do not need to defend myself, this is my blog. I am sorry that a few of you were offended by my comment to the Senator: “I may not agree with you (Senator Kennedy) on politics, but we can both agree that brain cancer and its treatments are grueling and we must all pull together for each other and fight this monster” but I stand behind it, and given the opportunity I would say it directly to him.

I then thought about what this blog brings me. I made a promise to myself when I started writing about my cancer journey that the second it caused me more stress than joy, I would stop as abruptly as I started. I am starting my 10th chemo cycle tonight, and where I am? Sitting here trying to formulate a post that doesn’t offend anyone… That speaks volumes.

I am a Republican. (Yet I don’t agree with everything President Bush has done or said either) I need not delve any further into my political leanings than that. I made one comment… a very genuine comment of concern and hope for a fellow brain cancer patient. I have defended that until I am blue in the face, and I will not defend it again.

But more importantly than my political stance, I am a Christian. I believe in the inerrant Word of God, and I will defend that tooth and nail. If the bible is against it, I am against it. Whether that be homosexuality, abortion, or wearing silver eyeliner on the second Sunday of the month. End of story.

So if I have disappointed you, that wasn’t my intention. But I am more concerned about disappointing my Savior, and until He convicts me I stand by what I said (which honestly, wasn’t much).

Now, I am off to take my chemo…
