Dwayne Harms is a pastor in the city who is one of the few pastors I've met who honestly cares about each person he comes in contact with - you can feel it when he looks at you. He's someone who's not afraid to ask the deep questions of faith and life without knowing where the answers will take him.
We got word last week that he had been disagnosed with serious liver and lung cancer and that it's not looking too good. When he first found out he decided to set up a blog to write and document his journey and battle with cancer. You can read it here but be prepared for a heavy dose of reality, not the usual selfish drivel that fills up most blogs (mine included) these days.
If you're the praying kind, send up a prayer for him and his family as you read.
Sometimes you get locked into a cycle of getting up, going to work, coming home, doing stuff, dreaming about getting stuff, going to sleep.. repeat. I got out of that cycle when we went to Australia but it's very easy to fall back into it as I have in the months since returning home. Reading his blog is one of those moments that slaps you back to reality.
