For Thou Art With Me

I have an active illness that will inevitably end in my death.  I won't die of old age.  My disease will kill me... I'm routinely cheerful, and that makes me stick out... What makes me different is not who I am, but who I know and what he has promised.  The good news is that you can know him, too, and when you understand what that means -- when you really understand what that means -- you'll me like me: Just an average guy with a terminal disease who has a peace that surpasses all understanding. -- words of author
