Questions

I find myself asking questions of all kinds, as I contemplate my newly diagnosed disease:

·  Why is a word that is so easy to spell (c-a-n-c-e-r) so difficult to say?

·  Why do we rarely hear the word dreadful used to describe other debilitating diseases, like M.S. or heart disease?

·  Why is it so difficult to share "bad" news with family and friends?

·  Why do people seem to think they are entitled to know things just because they may know you?

·  Why does it seem like some people look at you differently because they know you have cancer?

·  Why is it that when cancer does "go away," it doesn't really ever go away?

·  Why do you feel as if people who know, think you'll certainly die an early death or that you certainly are going to have a rough time?

·  Why does "bad" news seem to spread faster than "good" news?

·  Why are unregenerate people more willing to listen to you talk about God when they know you are dealing with a difficult situation in your life?

In some instances, the questions are rhetorical. In others, there is no real answer. Still, some are worth talking about.  Maybe after this is over I will re-visit some of these questions.
