Introduction

Welcome to “Nothing New.” The goal of my blog in the past has been to stimulate discussion about all things related to CBC, the Christian life, and the world at large. But it has recently been hijacked by my cancer and treatment. This means I have to eat some crow (which I hate) because early on I boldly claimed I would not allow my condition to take center stage in my life.

But it is taking center stage on my blog – for a while. I am rather torn about this development. I am uncomfortable making this all about me – because it’s not. It is strangely therapeutic for me to blog about this, however, and I cannot express even a fraction of my appreciation for everyone who reads and leaves their funny, weird, and /or encouraging words in comments and emails.

So please join with me in dialogue. I always look forward to reading your comments. (If you'd like to follow my cancer journey from day 1, please go to my post on 6/25/08 - Life Takes Guts - in the archives and follow the posts upwards from there.)

Everything

A student showed me this video on his laptop after class today. Although we were still in the classroom and students were coming and going from different classes, I nearly got choked up watching it.

Then I came back to my office to find it and watch it more closely. I found myself choking up all over again. I’m not an overly sensitive guy (I don’t think). But this skit is powerful.

If it seems a bit slow at the beginning, stick with it. And then tell me what you think.
