Halfway there
There’ve been some dark days (such as May 31, 2003; September 1, 2003; November 17, 2003; March 29, 2004; and June 24, 2004) in Greg’s journey out of cancer. Today was a bright one: he is officially “in remission.”
Greg’s latest bill of health admittedly sounds dubious: stage-IV colon cancer, “no evidence of disease.” It may seem like a contradiction in terms, but his odds a year ago were in the single digits and now they’re 50%. That’s worth celebrating!
Oh come, let us sing to the LORD;
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
For the LORD is a great God,
and a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the depths of the earth;
the heights of the mountains are his also.
The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!
For he is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture,
and the sheep of his hand. (Ps 95:1–7)
