Laughing At Cancer

I've neglected this blog. I'll get back to my exegesis of Genesis, but will do it in a piecemeal fashion, rather than waiting until I've completed a large portion of it. I will still examine it in sections, but will break those sections into parts, and present them until I've completed the whole.

During the interim, I'll blog about other things of interest. One of those things of interest was a guest on the Joy Behar Show. The guest, Robert Schimmel, discussed "how humor helped him with his battle against cancer."

How others have faced disasters in their lives have always be a source of inspiration for me: their persistence, their courage, their spitting in the eye of death, or giving the finger to some implacable condition, or some devastating experience or event.

Their response establishing sure evidence of man's unconquerable spirit, and his noble character, as he stands up to the mighty winds, and violent waves that toss the ship of his resolve hither and fro, and, through it all, emerging stronger, and transformed.

That's what you'll hear from the following video clip from the show, a man who used humor as a transformative force, not only to redefine the experience of fighting cancer, but himself in the bargain.
