Through It All
October 23, 2026
by Bob Tilley
(Texas, USA)
It has been almost twelve years since my radiation treatments. The cancer I wrote about has returned. But with God's help, a cancer center in Houston has kept it under control. I have developed additional chronic illnesses that have slowed me down further, but God has been with us through it all.
Janis and I are still enjoying life together, counting our blessings! By the time you read this, we will have returned from a camping fishing trip along the Texas gulf coast. Health allowing, each year in October we try to take a camping and fishing trip to Goose Island State Park. I will include some photos. Blessings of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, to all, and especially to the wonderful online Upper Room family.
