Cleanse Me
Not long after the onset of entering into our cancer journey, I had a chat with a friend. Several years before this her daughter had her own battle with cancer. I recall this conversation so vividly. It’s etched into my mind like carvings on a scroll. She would be the first person who was able to connect…

Inside: the unseen
Not long ago my lips were starting to get chapped. I could feel a ‘split’ right down the center of my lip starting to form. Strangely though, I could really only feel the split. There was not much visible evidence on the outside of my lip, but wow, it sure was tender! After a few…

See ME
There’s a commercial circulating around right now – an advertisement promoting a ‘new drug’ to aid in relief from Psoraisis. During the commercial different people appear one at a time, and all they say is …”See Me”. A sadness can be felt as each one of them speaks – a feeling that they are not being seen … only their…

With This Hope
One recent Sunday morning we were in this mental battle of “should we stay home or go to church?” We had just rolled off of a busy week and it was tempting to stay home. “Boy, we sure could use a down morning to catch our breath” was the tone of our conversation. But, a…
