For a bit of background about me, please read below…
My name is Niel Sutton and this blog is about my life. I am currently 29 years old with a wife (J), a son (Big D), and a daughter (JR). I won’t use their real names but rather the letters for them in posts (there’s crazy people in the world, you know :) ). I live in the beautiful Carolinas and I work for a software company as a developer consultant.
In June of 2007 I discovered that I have a 6 inch tumor on my kidney and I started this blog primarily to update my friends, family, and coworkers on all of the latest developments with my journey. God has totally and radically changed my life in a very short time and I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything because of all that God is doing through it. More details about the day that I learned of my tumor are in this post.
I am a Christian and consider my faith in Jesus to be the most important thing in my life. I’ve put my declaration of faith on this page. Jesus is the reason for the hope that is within me. My wife and I sing in the choir at our church and consider ourselves very blessed to be able to serve the Lord in that way.
If you don’t know Jesus, I would encourage you to check out this site.
Thank you for taking the time to check out my site and thus join me on this journey. I pray the Lord bless and keep you.

Comment by Frances Arant July 30, 2007 @ 7:45 pmNiel–You are and have always been an extraordinary young man! I am so happy to see pictures of your beautiful family—believe it or not, I have a son (almost 5) and daughter (almost 3), too! We are praying for your successful surgery—your full recovery and long term good health. I know that God’s grace will be with you and J in the weeks to come. Keep smiling and keep your face to the Son! –Jill Deese Conner

Just wanted you to know a Patriot Fan from up North is praying for you and your family.
I will go into a period of silent prayer and meditation tomorrow in support of you while you are in God’s hands recovering from surgery.

Dear Lord help Neil remember that nothing will happen to him tomorrow that you and he can’t handle together.
