NPR: Finish This Sentence: My Cancer ...

my father's cancer taught us both that God is gracious and we must trust wholly in Him, even when each day seems worse than the next. 2 Cor. 5:1 says 'we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands...we must live by faith and not by sight.'

My mother's cancer has forced me to get on my knees praying, and trust in God to get us all through this ordeal, however it ends. It has taught me that sometimes you don't see the whole road, just the bumps and bends right in front of you, but God does, and that maybe the road could smooth out a mile or two ahead and you just have to keep on living and taking care of yourself and the rest of your family in the meantime, although sometimes with a lump in your throat, and no promise of a happy ending. It has taught me to love harder, and deeper, and appreciate the absolute beauty in every day and its blessings, because "right now" is all we've got.

Speaking at Web Design World in Chicago - Nate Koechley’s Blog: "In 2001, most web developers simply pushed pixels. The Web was pieced together by print designers and back-end engineers - almost no one was deeply focused on the front-end. Today, in 2008, as front-end engineers we author complex and efficient software and bend reluctant browsers to our will. And we are broadly recognized and respected as a first-order engineering specialization."
