Hello everyone! Here is a new update for the prayer page. Thank you so much for the overwhelming response to this page: it is such a blessing to me and everyone who is affected by your prayers.

Introducing the Prayer Page
I hate cancer. Perhaps that’s not a huge surprise, but it’s true. And as such, I want to do everything in my power to destroy it. To that end, I would like to introduce you to a new page on Life Springs: The Prayer Page. Here you will find people who are in the process of overcoming illness and disease, …
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 …

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, …

And the fevers weren’t giving me any confidence in my health’s outlook, either. Or the …
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 …
