Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

"eagle-eyes, I been meaning to write you, but a lot has happened fast, and I have been taken on a path I did not know existed and truthfully FELT overwhelmed at times. Yes I coughed up gobs of stuff and voice came back. Wanted and tried to remain grateful and faithful. Did not want to backside or start sinking in the waters when I saw a wave.
Yet, family, friends, and pastor said when voice slightly weakened afterwards to go get confirmation from Healthcare that I knew what I was talking about. I did so, they said I had cancer of larynx and I had simply coughed up a tumor. They said we have to act fast or it may spread too far and be untreatable. I was sent to ER 6/30 and have had 3 Catscans, 2 xrays, 1 Petscan, a tracheotomy, a feed tube put in my stomach, and lie in a hospital room on 4th of July with my wife at my side.
Had about 5 hours sleep total the first four days here, put on NPO no food or water until yesterday the 3rd when I was allowed ice in meager portions that would not support a parakeet. My family has worked out shifts to be at my side, and I am grateful, but I did not see this coming.
Yet, I know in my heart that God has got me, His thoughts are higher than my thoughts and His ways,are higher than mine. I was created in His image, hence none of this is allowed, and no weapon formed against me shall prosper. By the stripes of my saviour I am healed. And know in my heart that if Satan can get me to throw in the towel abd say this is too big or cannot be solved then he has already won without a fight. So I like you stand on my faith, and ask that you pray for me. We will both win. Bigcentexisback"
"As always standing on the powerful Word of God and agreeing with prayers of the same are always welcome. I am blessed and humbled by your prayers,thoughts and actions. God bless you one and all."

"The world would say i am getting worse off but I believe i am in store for bigger deliverance. The bigger the challenge the bigger the reward right? Especially standing on God's Word. Psalm 18 says "the Word of God is uncorrupt, the Word of the Lord is tried in the fire: He is a shield to all them that trust in Him." And in Matthew That all heaven and all of earth would pass before one of His Words would fail.
So now I have Dr's telling me that I go home for about 2 weeks. They skip the 6 weeks of chemo and radiation, go directly to to ripping out my complete voice box (larynx), then they so me back together where my mouth only processes food and my air comes in through what is now my tracheotomy. Speaking and swimming will be a thing of the past, and this to be followed by a shorter than original 6 weeks of chemo and radiation as hopefully most of that will be gone. Larygechtomy is the word they use. Upside is eating will never be an issue Not any of this is something I expected I would endure or even be associated with.
As I said before and I say now, I believe God's ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher than ours. So, somehow this cloud has a brilliant silver lining. Your concern and prayers are a blessing to me and I thank God and you for that. I watch my family pull together for my support in ways that brings tears to my eyes.
Yes, you may share this with whosoever you choose, and my prayer I s that my testimony will bring someone(s), somewhere closer to God through Christ Jesus."

"Thank you for your prayers and kind words. The surgery is scheduled roughly around July 22 or so. As for what I need, those old hymns NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS and WONDER WORKING POWER comes to mind, as well as all praise and glory going to Jehovah Rapha our healer. I stand with you for your healing as well. Share with whom you are led to share, and i am ready to agree on God's good Word. Thank you and may God bless you."
Just now
"My eyes can barely read this as tears of joy and thankfulness are flowing as I read. I do not know how to express my gratitude and thankfulness. Thank you one and all and may God bless each and every one of you as well. And yes Lord I am in agreement with. Them all . Thank you Lord, Thank you Jesus. To God be all the glory forever and ever. Thank you eagle-eyes for advocating for me in my hour of need."
