Dancing... or drinking through life
I am not even sure that I know how to do a link anymore. I'm giving it a shot though so, three readers, please forgive me if I mess this up.
So Rod Dreher's sister is battling cancer. It is nasty. Their faith is extraordinary. Here's his latest post (I think)
There are 8 comments on it.

Back...
I'm back here at JWalking after a bit of time because I just want someplace to record thoughts from time to time. I doubt that many of the thoughts will be political - there are plenty upon plenty of people offering their opinions on everything political and I doubt that I have much to add that will

Learning to tell a story
For the last ten months or so I've been engaged in a completely different world - the world of screenwriting. It began as a writing project - probably the 21st Century version of a yen to write the great American novel - a shot at a screenplay. I knew that I knew nothing about the art but was inspir

And just one more
I have, I think, just one more round of chemo left.
When I go through my pill popping regimen tomorrow morning it will be the last time for this particular round of drugs. Twenty-three rounds, it seems, is enough.
What comes next? We'll go back to what we did after the surgery. We'll watch and measu

Reality is, the cancer is going to play in this. I saw on the news “Not curable”. That tells me she will die. How can he even THINK about anything else but his wife? I like him, voted for him and Kerry, and would vote for him this time… Except… How can he lead one of the most powerful countries in the world, a job that ages EVERY man who has ever held it, with his wife’s problems weighing on his mind? How can I trust a man who would put ANYthing ahead of his wife?

“That tells me she will die.” So will he. Life itself is not curable. “How can I trust a man who would put ANYthing ahead of his wife?” Don’t *all* presidents and candidates, though? (Not sure about Bush, he doesn’t seem to put anything ahead of his bedtime, let alone his wife.) At the very minimum, becoming President means making yourself a target, for physical and verbal attacks. And either way your spouse is at some degree of risk, whether she’s Jackie O. sitting in a hail of bullets, or Hillary Clinton becoming the target of all kinds of slander. And I don’t think anyone would call a Presidential campaign family-friendly.

Please use someone else for “family values” please. Andrew Sullivan represents anything but . . . I also have a treatable but incurable disease. I could go today or years and years from now. Let us both, David, contend for the faith delivered ONLY once to the Saints. Sullivan is not doing that.And let us not yoke ourselves to unblievers or false teachers. Whatever time is alotted to us for living, let us and it be for the Lord. Post something from James Dobson once and awhile would you?
