So this Sunday morning, guess what I’m gonna be doing?

Give up?

I’m going to be playing my keyboard. But not in “church.”

There are a couple of folks who do a little jam session (for lack of a better term) every other Sunday morning at the coffee shop where I hang out and write/blog. Sort of a brunch thing, without the brunch. When they discovered I played, they invited me to sit in.

So I’m gonna.

In trying (against all odds) to catch up with my blog reading this morning, it came to my attention that the day after Easter, Michael Spencer (aka Internet Monk) passed away from cancer. I was aware that he was ill, but unaware of how close he was to the end. His struggle with cancer apparently lasted only four months. He was 53 years old.

This weeks marks six months since I moved to Denver.

It would take a book to chronicle the many ways our lives have changed since moving here. In some ways, the changes in our attitude and approach began in Tulsa and led to our moving here. In other ways, coming here has been life-changing in its own way.

Billy Jo Daugherty, pastor of Victory Christian Center in Tulsa (one of Tulsa’s “big three” mega-churhes) passed away Sunday from lymph cancer at the age of 57.

I only got word of his illness a few weeks ago. I don’t think anyone actually knew for very long. Most of my information was received word-of-mouth, so I can’t verify the accuracy of this…but what I heard was that he went to the hospital for throat issues, and they discovered the cancer. By the time they found it, it was apparently quite advanced. I am sobered and saddened to hear of his death.
