Initially, after David's diagnosis, I would cringe when I read
books or articles by cancer survivors who stated that cancer had

gift in our lives. We'd both seen the other alternative: patients and
survivors who had become bitter and angry, and neither one of us

In a conversation with Lee, he shared, "After many of the great movements of God, He asked His people to build a memorial so that they would remember what He had done. God created a system of spiritual ceremonies for His people to celebrate regularly as families to remember what He had done. When Jesus was on His way to the cross, He used the symbols of wine and bread to teach about what was going to happen to Him. Then He invited His followers to 'do this in remembrance of [Him]' as a ceremony to help them remember. — Michelle Anthony
