Changing Perspectives

Cancer challenges us emotionally and spiritually. It also challenges us intellectually. We find ourselves searching for meaning and understanding. We find ourselves rethinking our values and priorities. We find ourselves developing new abilities to accept ourselves as limited and finite. In the midst of the danger that cancer presents, we find opportunities for growth.

Quote of the moment

"Some mornings when I am out walking I look up at the sky and it seems far away. On other days I realize that the sky kisses the earth. As I walk, I move through sky. I walk surrounded by sky. I breath in the sky. It lives inside of me. Whether the sky seems close or far away, the truth is that it is always close. And, so it is with God. God is the One in whom we “live and breathe and have our being” (Acts 17:28). God is with us. Always. God’s loving presence caresses us, surrounds us, fills us. I am not alone. You are not alone. God is with us. And God knows. You can trust this absolutely."
