Good People, 

I have contracted Stage 4 Colon Cancer. It's not curable and 96% of the time this is a return to sender malady. I have 2-3 years on the clock for certain and after that I will be literally living on borrowed time. 

Before it gets too grim in here, in the words of one of my favorite songs: "I'm not dead yet" and I don't intend to die. I mean I'm in theology school for God's sake. The irony of dying now is unacceptable. 

I start chemo in the next few weeks and the one thing we do know is that this business of maybe dying in the next 24-36 months is going to be super disruptive to my work-school life. So, before things get dire I am appealing to the community to help me get through this so that we can continue to pass decent legislation, organize people to hold prick-rat-bastards accountable, give good counsel to people... and sometimes when the God's smile on us... fight with nazis.

I will need your help for sure. I love you all and no matter what happens remember... Light Will Prevail. We got this.
