Rich Mullins Quote as a lead in to Step by Step - "God is a wild man. And I hope that over the course of your life you encounter Him, but let me warn you, you need to hang on for dear life or let go for dear life maybe is better."
What Cancer Can’t Do - Cancer is so limited. It cannot cripple love. It cannot shatter hope. It cannot corrode faith. It cannot eat away peace. It cannot destroy confidence.

It cannot lesson the power of the resurrection. Amen—amen. Bernice Chambers, 1987 Breast Cancer
Lord,
high and holy, meek and lowly, Thou hast brought me to the valley of vision,
where I live in the depths but see Thee in the heights; hemmed in by
mountains of sin I behold Thy glory. Let me learn by paradox that the way down
is the way up, that to be low is to be high, that the broken heart is the healed
heart, that the contrite spirit is the rejoicing spirit, that the repenting soul
is the victorious soul, that to have nothing is to possess all, that to bear the
cross is to wear the crown, that to give is to receive, that the valley is the
place of vision. Lord, in the daytime stars can be seen from deepest wells, and
the deeper the wells the brighter Thy stars shine; let me find Thy light in my
darkness, Thy life in my death, Thy joy in my sorrow, Thy grace in my sin, Thy
riches in my poverty, Thy glory in my valley.
