I’ve been talking about it for what seems like (and could really be) months. And it’s still not done (at least the audio book.) But I can’t wait any longer. So, without further ado, here it is. I would like to introduce you to “The Cancer Diaries: A Story of Wonder, Darkness and Hope”. This is a collection of writings …

Life Springs Eternal
When was the last time that you thought about death? Does it sound morbid to say that I think about it a lot? Now, sure, it’s probably natural for someone who’s been fighting cancer to think about death somewhat. After all, for many people it is a sharp slap in the face that, contrary to popular opinion, they are probably …
The Cancer Journal Part Four
(This is Part Four of The Cancer Journal. You can read Part One here, Part Two here, and Part Three here!) Two days passed following the PET scan. I tried to push the technician’s look out of my mind, but without much success. And so we came to Friday evening. I was driving when the doctors’ office called, and because …
The Cancer Journal Part Three
(This is Part Three of the Cancer Journal. You can find Part One here and Part Two here.) We went into treatment. Prior to starting, though, we were told the laundry list of side effects. These included, but were not limited to: Nerve Damage Heart Damage Lung Damage Severe Fatigue Demolished White Blood Cell Counts Demolished Red Blood Cell Counts …
The Cancer Journal Part Two
(This post is Part Two of The Cancer Journal. You can view Part One here.) Did I mention that Sarah broke her toe? It was late Christmas night. I was lying on the couch fighting a fever, and had finally convinced Sarah to go to bed. She assured me that she would get back up if she heard me coughing, …
The Cancer Journal
I don’t know exactly when the itching began. I do know, however, that it started inconspicuously as some mild irritation on my calves. My wife, Sarah, thought it was an allergic reaction to body wash, so we started cycling through all sorts of different soaps to get rid of it. Strangely, nothing seemed to work. The problem seemed pretty tame …
Wonder’s Whisper
Have you ever looked up at the night sky and thought that there had to be more? More than our tiny little lives? More than our tiny little world? More than our tiny little universe? You’re climbing a mountain trail. You reach the top of the hill and there’s a break in the trees. You look to your left, and …
A Special Announcement
In the winter of 2013 I found my health in a steep, desperate decline. The longer and more rapidly it spiraled out of control the more obvious it became that something was very wrong. Finally, in early January, I was diagnosed with stage four Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. We began chemo therapy and were told there was roughly a 50% chance that …
Coauthoring Our Destinies
How much input do we have over our own destinies? Or, rather, how integral a part do we play in determining our little segment of the cosmic story? One man feels like he is called by God to change a nation. So he goes and, with God’s help, he does it. Did he have a choice in following the call? …
