About MaryO

Cushing's and kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma) patient, founder, owner and webmaster of Cushing's Help and Support, web designer, piano teacher and mom. I am a Cushing's patient who has dealt with Cushing's symptoms since 1983 (or earlier) and the aftereffects of pituitary surgery since 1987. Because I had very little support for my symptoms, diagnosis and surgery, I decided to try to make things a little better for other patients and started a support site called Cushing's Help and Support in 2000. The site has grown to astronomical numbers. This disease isn't as rare as doctors have told us! In 2006, I was also diagnosed with kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma). My left kidney and adrenal gland were removed. Having an adrenal gland removed complicates my post-Cushing's symptoms. I am not planning to have any more rare and unusual diseases. My entire bio to date can be found here: http://www.cushings-help.com/maryos_story.htm But, enough of that - it's not always about Cushing's, or even Cancer. This one is about Life!

August 9 – It Takes A Change – Colossians 3:1-10 and Isaiah 6:1-8

8:15 and 11 – Pastor Kenny

What is the difference between how you live and those who do not believe in Jesus? Is there any? Can anyone look at our lives and see that we are holy, different because we follow Jesus. I’ve heard it said “The only difference between me and everyone else is I believe in Jesus.” Is this true? Paul seems to think otherwise. Believing in Jesus is just the beginning. We are to no longer live like the rest of the world but put off these things. How are you doing in the OFF Putting?

August 9 – Spiritual Exercise – Galatians 5:16-21

9:30 Common Ground – Pastor Dan

Health experts tell us that physical exercise can help us avoid bad things happening to our bodies, like heart disease or back pain. Did you know that spiritual exercise can help you stay spiritually healthy as well? Come learn a new exercise routine. We promise this one doesn’t make you sweat as much.
