Who are the most absolutely giving people you know of? They are also the only Christian people you know, by whatever Creed or none.

Cancer update
My cancer treatment will resume on Thursday. It seems that the Creator wants me to keep working, that creation wants me to keep working, and not come home for rest just yet. Dang!
I cried when I got the news yesterday that CCNV infirmary, part of a massive homeless shelter here in town, happily agreed to have me for 3 5 day periods For each is my upcoming chemo treatments. This as opposed to 45 days incarceration, all that had been considered for my housing up until I asked the question last week - can't we limit my incarceration to 5 days for each of the treatments? Thus allowing me to be away from the vigil for a minimal amount of time. Yes, was the near immediate answer. Oh My.
During this process three individuals and a working-class Hispanic church, came forward to fund a room for me during treatment. What an unspeakable joy for me to see such loving. I could not have accepted such kindness. But it did encourage me to push on for this final solution, which otherwise I would not have done. May these folks know the goodness and good that they have done. And likewise, without the kindness of my suburban friends for the first treatment I'm a well not have made it this far.
So tomorrow, Wednesday in the afternoon I enter the infirmary. Thursday morning I'll receive four hours infusion at Georgetown Hospital and return to the infirmary with a pump attached to me for 2 days. An infusion nurse will come to the infirmary to detach the pump, and I'll remain at the infirmary or two more days to recover from sickness. Then, thank God, I'll return to the vigil. The next treatment is mid August and the final treatment is late August.
I am immensely appreciative of the kind folks at unity healthcare, Georgetown University Hospital, Christ house, here in DC. Our wealthcare system in this country is a scathing testimony to the sub humanity of we Americans. We hold is our most sacred right the right to care less about our neighbor.
But here in DC some citizens over the years have struggled sheroically and built a better system for we poor. That it is way below the standards of most developed countries, is not the fault of these heroic individuals, and it is more than sufficient to get me a 40 percent chance of surviving this cancer. I'm profoundly admiring and grateful.
Imodium AD is my new best friend. I no longer have a manageable bowel without it. Don't ever bother with the Rite Aid generic.
I remain substantially fatigued, requiring 12 to 14 hours of sleep per day, at night and through naps.
A major Public Radio Group has begun working on a story on the vigil. Of course it may or may not come to fruition.

Think about it: cancer is when the body allows a few cells to consume more than their share, and they quickly starve the entire body to death.

80 percent of Americans now struggles with joblessness, and/or poverty, having allowed one percent to take about 70 percent of the country's wealth. Affloholic idiots.

Cancer, vigil, update.
After 40 hours nearly straight sleep at my friends house while and after the chemo pump was on me last weekend my body is back to normal except for my digestive tract. That is where the cancer started and it remains a distressing disaster. My belief that generic drugs and brand are always the same is shattered. Thank goodness it seems I was wrong. The Rite Aid brand imodium that I asked a friend to get me, mercifully now, seems to be useless. Just today I switched to the form given me by my doc and for the first time i'm bound up. Hallelujah. Please God, let it be so.
This is day 421 of creations death vigil. While maintaining the vigil I'm on a second pass of a book profoundly well tracing the intellectual roots of doctor Martin Luther King. We are taught everything by our schools, religious institutions, media... in this society except that which would make us loving productive sane healthy joyful creatures. Oh how I wish I were exaggerating.
Unless something changes, my cancer treatment is terminated due to the lack of suitable housing. Biblically generous housing offer from my suburban friends is un able to accommodate my intestinal disasters. My working class Hispanic friends in the church that feeds us on weekends has arranged to rent a room for me during treatment. They work all week just to survive and to minister to we homeless. I cannot allow them to take on this additional burden.
There remains a hope. What should have been but was not offered me by way of information months ago I enquired and secured for myself from my wonderful cancer doc on Thursday . Medically I do not need six weeks of housing. 3 times I need housing for 5 days for each of my treatments. For this limited time the CCNV infirmary would work fine for my requirements. I've placed that inquire re with my friends with unity healthcare and hope to learn Monday or Tuesday if this will enable my treatment to continue.

The more I study theology and so called Christianity the more I see a profound, total, massive distraction from and replacement of what Jesus lived and died to teach us. I wish it would all disappear. I wish it had never grown up like I wish the cancers in my liver had never grown up. The body is infinitely healthier without it.

To say that one is Christian is as absurdly uninformative as to say that one is biological, that one is comprised of Adams, or resides on earth, or speaks English. To say that one is Christian is just ate nothing of the of the remotest cognitive value. Meaningless to the point of absurdity.

Truth. Women cheat first. As soon as they land the guy they start their affairs, they transfer their loyalties to food, stuff, girlfriends and kids, usually in that order. And they don't expect a guy to start cheating? WTF!

nd A homeless lady gave me a dollar yesterday. Today it was a homeless or poor young man. Both times, I was busy at work at the vigil, totally absorbed in my work. ' here you go friend,' and off they went. ' bless your heart,' is all I could offer as they left. ' some people are so poor that all they have is their money.' that's a quote of something I saw the other day. That's the truth of what I see as the essence of our Cancerous Society.
