Windrunners Blog

In this blog and the accompanying book Cancer's Windrunners, I want to share with you what I have learned from a group of amazing patients who journeyed with God through their cancers. They seemed to live lives of more purpose, meaning and joy — and often longer than I ever expected. Whatever was going on with them I wanted — and wanted to pass on to my other patients. HERE IT IS IN BLOG FORM.

For opportunities of a secular journey in a life with cancer, see the Bell Lap Blog.

Spiritual Amnesia depletes PEE and is the greatest obstacle to sustained victory over fear and anxiety. Eugene Petersen points out that "A Christian with a defective memory has to start everything from scratch and spend far too much time backtracking, repairing and starting over". The problem is that we all have defective memories and they naturally get worse with age.

BV14 - TRIUMPH OVER TROUBLE

Submitted by Dr. Robert F. Lane on

In the words of Jesus, Paul, James, John, Nahum and whoever wrote Job "In this world you will have trouble" and "man is born to trouble". It is a frequent theme in scripture. Yet every mention of it is coupled with promises of an astonishing peace that is possible in spite of it. A triumph.
