I took the kids to the park at 7:30 a.m. this morning. In August, in Phoenix it is the only time you can go to the park. It was beautiful!!!!! It was a green beautiful day, and that is saying a lot, because I live in the desert. My landscapes are more often dotted with [...]

Oh how I want my hands to make a difference. I have already written a couple of posts on hands, but I really want to talk about them again. Hands are so amazing! As I have said before, I had a much harder time dissecting hands in the cadaver lab then I had dissecting the [...]

Tomorrow I have another surgery. Compared to the bi-lateral mastectomy this should be relatively easy. They are merely placing a port into a vein in my neck in order to make it easier for me to receive my chemotherapy.

Today I would like to take this a bit further in regards to the worrisome problem of lost souls in space circling distant and tiny moons.

One of my favorite authors is C.S. Lewis. I have read almost everything he has written, but today I want to talk about a section from his book, “The Great Divorce”. In this book he is describing the difference between heaven and hell. His heavenly beings are bigger than life. They are beautiful beyond description, [...]

There are little moments in my life, where my prayer is so simple “God hang onto this moment for me, because my mind is frail, and I am human, and I need you to hold this moment for me, there is no one else who can”. I look around my house, and at pictures, and [...]

My realization began on a cold rainy morning in December of 2008. I was stomping through a dark, cold, wet parking lot in the rain, chanting to myself with each step I took (“You can pass this test”). I was on my way to take a medical school immunology test, and I was worried, scared, [...]
