Confronted by Death, but I Don’t Have to Fear It.
What God did for me in 2016 through the process of cancer, chemo, and remission, is make me cognizant of death. This body may not last another six months, or five years. Or, it may last another 40 years. Death is right in front of my face. But because of the resurrection, I do not…
My Father Has Cancer
