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!

Today, July 19, at Pender UMC

run-for-life-feature

 

Please join us this Sunday, July 19th, at our 8:15, 9:30 and 11:00 am services. Pastor Kenny will be preaching at all 3 services.

Sermon Title: Stop, Look & Listen (1 Kings 19:9-18)

When running the race of life and trying to reach the pinnacle, we are not alone. It sometimes feels that way. However, God is always with us. Let’s see if we can hear Him this Sunday.

“The Lord said, ‘Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.’ Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.” (1 Kings 19:11-13)

Churches Host Traveling Wesleys

 

What if John and Charles Wesley could still visit churches?  A unique project led by Discipleship Ministries is finding a way for these founding fathers of the denomination to do just that. More than 700 congregations will participate in a program during the summer of 2015 that brings paper dolls of the brothers to spend two weeks at each host church. We followed the pair to one stop in South Carolina.
