As one of our grandsons sat beside her, listening to her struggling to speak and to me reading powerful words from her journals, he said, “Grams, if...
When our ministry posted Nanci’s words, “My cancer is God’s servant,” someone responded, “WHAT? God does NOT give people cancer.

Nanci and I experienced many glimpses of God’s sovereign purposes for years before her cancer diagnosis.
