Dealing with and surviving third stage testicular cancer requires assets that I am not sure are hidden within. Learning and growing through a fatherless childhood, an apparent absence of a formal God structure, and struggling with his mother against all the odds to just makes normal ends meet would ensure that most children would have a different perspective on life and hope. Even when one applies the words to a spiritual context the first thoughts do not vary much. In an age of data and information overload it is too easy to become immune to superficial witnessing. Lance is not a superficial in any sense of the word.
Lance is also an open agnostic.
Beyond that, I had no idea where to draw the line between spiritual belief and science. Without belief, we would be left with nothing but an overwhelming doom, every single day. So I believed. It had to be. For my journey these are powerful words from a powerful God.
