The Cancer Pastor
Let's Keep On Healing - Together
What if you knew a pastor personally, who was also a fellow cancer warrior?
Drawing from 40+ years of pastoral ministry, I am offering a 16-week course, Building Resilience in the Battle Against Cancer. It features weekly teachings, support group meetings, and one-on-one calls. Together, we will access ancient wisdom for this modern challenge.

Let me walk with you as your Cancer Pastor
Healing takes many forms. Sometimes we experience it dramatically in this life. But sometimes it comes at the end of our lives as we enter our eternal home.
Lynn Blackmore’s way of living highlighted her heart as a true champion. Throughout our conversations, she signed off with #keeponhealing. I loved that and adopted the practice.
She recently found her ultimate healing in her eternal home.
This page is dedicated to her memory. May we aspire to embrace courage, positivity, and grace in all the ways Lynn did, right until the end.
Thank you for your life dear Lynn – your legacy lives on…
So keep healing friends and let us hold each other up – especially when it gets hard!

The Healing Chronicles
It was probably 10 years ago when I heard these words from Ruth Haley Barton, The best gift we give to the world is a healthy and whole you. I knew that was a significant statement, but I didn’t fully grasped the depth of it until I received my cancer diagnosis. Health and wholeness is always something we have to fight for. It doesn’t come easy. There are many things – both in the world and within our own hearts – that work against us. We need all the support we can get. This weekly newsletter is meant to help provide that. May these stories, poems, advice, and encouragement provide some of what you need.
