UncleDoug Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Journal Excerpt: Monday, May 16 In some of my Journal entries I may have appeared flip when I talk about side-effects; wishing I had some, etc. . . . of course I don’t. I am blessed that I haven’t been given the early crosses to bear that many of you have had to endure. My third cycle of chemotherapy starts tomorrow at 8:40 am. The actual infusion of the chemicals seems to be the easiest to endure for me. It’s the waiting in between – the wondering if it will work – the prayers that work their way to an agnostic’s lips, asking for the tumors to die and just go away, to let me please have my life back again. I am an agnostic. I have been my whole life. Actually, truth be told, I waffle between Atheist and agnostic. That is, I don’t know – but I’m absolutely certain that I’m right. Being an agnostic is easy – I really don’t know whether there is a God in His heaven, or not; but if there is, I’ll take all the help I can get. There is a story, true or not, about W. C. Fields on his deathbed being seen to read the Bible. “You’re an atheist, Bill, why all this interest in the Bible?†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
