Jim Fudge
Kearney, Neb.

"This build was special for me, as three days before we left for Africa, I was diagnosed with colon cancer and would need an operation on my return. I was determined to be positive and let God guide my life as to what was to be. ...

"You look at life through different eyes at a time like this. Some things were just not worth getting upset over. You notice, or try to notice, little things. Devotions in the morning take on special meaning. Friends you have met from around the world are dearer to you.

"The operation is over, and the doctor says I will be fine as I caught it early. ... I wanted to share this saying with you:

"The more you give, the more you get.
The more you do unselfishly, the more you live abundantly.
The more of everything you share, the more you'll always
have to spare.
The more you laugh, the less you fret.
The more you love, the more you'll find that life is good
and friends are kind.
For only what we give away, enriches us from day to day."
