The First Blog

So I have always been a bit, lets say, skeptical, about those who "blogged." Basically for two main reasons...(A) I mean who reads these things? Well, apparently millions of people do, everyday; and my wife is one of them. And (B) what do I have to say, what story do I have to tell?

Ahh, how about the story of a family, struck by cancer, not once, but twice: first the Dad, and then 6 months later, the Mom. How about that family's shock, struggles, and resilience. How about that family's faith and intentionality in giving this cancer a purpose, a purpose that would bring Glory to God.

Do you know how difficult that task can be....at times? But interestingly enough, it also seems to be the most natural response for this family.

This blog promises to be a dialog, or maybe a "diablog," which includes all gammits of emotion. You will laugh, you will cry, (as we will do the same authoring it), but more importantly, you will hopefully be encouraged.

Each of us have situations and circumstances in life that we are unable to control; however, one thing, if the only thing, we can control is our reaction to these challenges. This is the story of our reaction.
