Tightrope… Balancing…Faith Ministry and Cancer

I walk a tightrope. And I dare not look down. As I hang precariously balanced I find keeping balance is not easy to do. On one side is the reality that all of us die, even young men in their early 50’s. Cancer is not a respecter of persons. It can take us all…. The Young and the Old. The Rich and the Poor. The famous and Infamous… Those that some would think deserve it. And those that don’t. And me. Denial is only foolish. And on the other side is Faith. The kind of faith that knows miracles can and do happen. God can and does intervene. Prayers are miraculously answered. Bodies are healed. Lives are restored. Cancers are banished and vanish… Without explanation. Unpredictably. Wonderfully. Denial refuses the Unseen Mystery of life. And now I walk a tightrope.
