00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,960
foreign
1
00:00:12,380 --> 00:00:18,660
there is some medical news that nobody
2
00:00:15,199 --> 00:00:20,699
absolutely nobody is prepared to hear
3
00:00:18,660 --> 00:00:23,160
I certainly wasn't
4
00:00:20,699 --> 00:00:25,920
it was three years ago that I got a call
5
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:29,880
in my office with the test results of a
6
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:31,619
recent scan I was 35 and finally living
7
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,260
the life I wanted
8
00:00:31,619 --> 00:00:36,540
I married my high school sweetheart and
9
00:00:34,260 --> 00:00:38,219
had finally gotten pregnant after years
10
00:00:36,540 --> 00:00:41,100
of infertility
11
00:00:38,219 --> 00:00:43,739
and then suddenly we had a Zack
12
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:46,860
a perfect one-year-old boy slash
13
00:00:43,739 --> 00:00:51,059
dinosaur depending on his mood
14
00:00:46,860 --> 00:00:53,579
and having a Zack suited me perfectly
15
00:00:51,059 --> 00:00:57,000
I had gotten the first job I applied for
16
00:00:53,579 --> 00:00:58,440
in Academia land of a thousand crushed
17
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,379
dreams
18
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:04,619
and there I was working at my dream job
19
00:01:01,379 --> 00:01:07,500
with my little baby and the man I had
20
00:01:04,619 --> 00:01:09,360
imported from Canada
21
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:11,400
but a few months before I'd started
22
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,680
feeling pain in my stomach and had gone
23
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,299
to every expert to find out why
24
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,939
no one could tell me
25
00:01:15,299 --> 00:01:20,820
and then out of the blue
26
00:01:17,939 --> 00:01:23,400
some physician's assistant called me at
27
00:01:20,820 --> 00:01:25,619
work to tell me that I had stage four
28
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:28,200
cancer and that I was going to need to
29
00:01:25,619 --> 00:01:31,079
come to the hospital right away
30
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:33,799
and all I could think of to say was
31
00:01:31,079 --> 00:01:39,180
but I have a son
32
00:01:33,799 --> 00:01:41,280
I can't end this world can't end it has
33
00:01:39,180 --> 00:01:43,439
just begun
34
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,420
and then I called my husband and he
35
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:48,360
rushed to find me and I said all the
36
00:01:45,420 --> 00:01:51,060
true things that I have known I said I
37
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:53,759
have loved you forever I have loved you
38
00:01:51,060 --> 00:01:56,640
forever I am so sorry
39
00:01:53,759 --> 00:01:58,560
please take care of our son
40
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,200
and then as I began to walk to the
41
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,399
hospital I crossed my mind for the first
42
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,659
time
43
00:02:02,399 --> 00:02:05,340
oh
44
00:02:03,659 --> 00:02:10,320
how ironic
45
00:02:05,340 --> 00:02:10,320
I had just written a book called blessed
46
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,440
I'm a historian and an expert in the
47
00:02:14,459 --> 00:02:17,220
idea that good things happen to good
48
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,319
people
49
00:02:17,220 --> 00:02:22,379
I research a form of Christianity
50
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:24,840
nicknamed the Prosperity Gospel for its
51
00:02:22,379 --> 00:02:27,660
very bold promise that God wants you to
52
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:30,180
prosper I never considered myself a
53
00:02:27,660 --> 00:02:32,220
follower of the Prosperity Gospel I was
54
00:02:30,180 --> 00:02:34,620
simply an observer
55
00:02:32,220 --> 00:02:36,840
Prosperity Gospel believes that God
56
00:02:34,620 --> 00:02:39,480
wants to reward you if you have the
57
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:42,060
right kind of faith if you're good and
58
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:44,640
faithful God will give you health and
59
00:02:42,060 --> 00:02:47,220
wealth and boundless happiness
60
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:50,220
life is like a boomerang if you're good
61
00:02:47,220 --> 00:02:53,280
good things will always come back to you
62
00:02:50,220 --> 00:02:57,959
think positively speak positively
63
00:02:53,280 --> 00:03:00,239
nothing is impossible if you believe
64
00:02:57,959 --> 00:03:04,680
I got interested in this very American
65
00:03:00,239 --> 00:03:06,360
theology when I was 18 or so and by 25 I
66
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,040
was traveling the country interviewing
67
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,680
its celebrities
68
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:13,500
I spent a decade talking to
69
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:15,420
televangelists with spiritual guarantees
70
00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:17,400
for divine money
71
00:03:15,420 --> 00:03:20,640
I interviewed countless mega church
72
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:23,340
pastors with spectacular hair about how
73
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:25,440
they live their best lives now
74
00:03:23,340 --> 00:03:28,080
I visited with people in hospital
75
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,319
waiting rooms and plush offices
76
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:33,120
I held hands with people in wheelchairs
77
00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:36,420
praying to be cured
78
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,920
I earned my reputation as destroyer of
79
00:03:36,420 --> 00:03:40,019
family vacations
80
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,540
for always insisting on being dropped
81
00:03:40,019 --> 00:03:44,580
off at the fanciest mega church in town
82
00:03:42,540 --> 00:03:47,580
if there was a river running through the
83
00:03:44,580 --> 00:03:49,980
sanctuary an eagle flying freely in the
84
00:03:47,580 --> 00:03:51,480
auditorium or an enormous spinning
85
00:03:49,980 --> 00:03:54,060
Golden Globe
86
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:56,220
I was there
87
00:03:54,060 --> 00:03:58,799
when I first started studying this the
88
00:03:56,220 --> 00:03:59,939
whole idea of being blessed wasn't what
89
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:03,180
it is today
90
00:03:59,939 --> 00:04:05,640
it was not like it is now an entire line
91
00:04:03,180 --> 00:04:08,220
of hashtag blessed Home Goods
92
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,379
it was not yet a flood of hashtag
93
00:04:08,220 --> 00:04:13,140
blessed vanity license plates and
94
00:04:10,379 --> 00:04:15,540
t-shirts and neon wall art
95
00:04:13,140 --> 00:04:18,479
I had no idea that blast would become
96
00:04:15,540 --> 00:04:20,759
one of the most common cultural cliches
97
00:04:18,479 --> 00:04:22,919
one of the most used hashtags on
98
00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:25,919
Instagram to celebrate barely their
99
00:04:22,919 --> 00:04:30,500
bikini shots as if to say I am so
100
00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:30,500
blessed thank you Jesus for this body
101
00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:37,199
I had not yet fully grasped the way that
102
00:04:34,860 --> 00:04:38,880
the Prosperity Gospel had become the
103
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:41,880
great civil religion
104
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:44,040
offering another Transcendent account of
105
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:46,139
the core of the American dream
106
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,580
rather than worshiping the founding of
107
00:04:46,139 --> 00:04:49,560
America itself
108
00:04:47,580 --> 00:04:50,940
the Prosperity Gospel worshiped
109
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,759
Americans
110
00:04:50,940 --> 00:04:58,139
it deifies and ritualizes their hungers
111
00:04:53,759 --> 00:05:00,240
their hard work and moral fiber
112
00:04:58,139 --> 00:05:04,320
Americans believe in a gospel of
113
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:06,840
optimism and they are their own proof
114
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,360
but despite telling myself I'm just
115
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:12,120
studying the stuff I'm nothing like them
116
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:15,780
when I got my diagnosis I suddenly
117
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:19,080
understood How Deeply invested I was in
118
00:05:15,780 --> 00:05:21,120
my own Horatio Alger theology
119
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,699
if you live in this culture whether you
120
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:26,340
are religious or not it is extremely
121
00:05:23,699 --> 00:05:29,520
difficult to avoid falling into the Trap
122
00:05:26,340 --> 00:05:31,380
of believing that virtue and success go
123
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,380
hand in hand
124
00:05:31,380 --> 00:05:36,180
the more I stared down my diagnosis the
125
00:05:34,380 --> 00:05:38,759
more I recognized that I had my own
126
00:05:36,180 --> 00:05:41,039
quiet version of the idea that good
127
00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:42,660
things happen to good people
128
00:05:41,039 --> 00:05:45,060
aren't I good
129
00:05:42,660 --> 00:05:50,660
aren't I special somehow
130
00:05:45,060 --> 00:05:50,660
I have committed zero homicides to date
131
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:59,280
so why is this happening to me
132
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:01,560
I wanted God to make me good and to
133
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:03,240
reward my faith with just a few shining
134
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:06,419
Awards along the way
135
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:08,340
okay like a lot of shining Awards
136
00:06:06,419 --> 00:06:11,100
I believe that hardships were only
137
00:06:08,340 --> 00:06:14,100
detours on what I was certain would be
138
00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:16,620
my long long life
139
00:06:14,100 --> 00:06:18,900
is this the case with many of us it's a
140
00:06:16,620 --> 00:06:21,240
mindset that served me well
141
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:26,039
the gospel of success drove me to
142
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:28,500
achieve to dream big to abandon fear
143
00:06:26,039 --> 00:06:30,180
it was a mindset that served me well
144
00:06:28,500 --> 00:06:32,400
until it didn't
145
00:06:30,180 --> 00:06:34,979
I was confronted with something I
146
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:37,139
couldn't manage my way out of
147
00:06:34,979 --> 00:06:39,660
until I found myself saying into the
148
00:06:37,139 --> 00:06:42,120
phone but I have a son
149
00:06:39,660 --> 00:06:44,300
because it was all I could think of to
150
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,300
say
151
00:06:45,300 --> 00:06:48,479
that was the most difficult moment to
152
00:06:47,460 --> 00:06:50,039
accept
153
00:06:48,479 --> 00:06:52,919
the phone call
154
00:06:50,039 --> 00:06:55,319
the walk to the hospital when I realized
155
00:06:52,919 --> 00:06:57,599
that my own personal Prosperity Gospel
156
00:06:55,319 --> 00:06:59,940
had failed me
157
00:06:57,599 --> 00:07:03,479
anything I thought was good or special
158
00:06:59,940 --> 00:07:08,759
about me could not save me my hard work
159
00:07:03,479 --> 00:07:10,740
my personality my humor my perspective
160
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:12,720
I had to face the fact that my life is
161
00:07:10,740 --> 00:07:16,340
built with Paper Walls
162
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,340
and so is everyone else's
163
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,840
it is a hard thought to accept that we
164
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,160
are all a breath away from a problem
165
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,979
that could destroy something
166
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,479
Irreplaceable or alter Our Lives
167
00:07:25,979 --> 00:07:29,699
completely
168
00:07:27,479 --> 00:07:31,680
we know that in life there are befores
169
00:07:29,699 --> 00:07:34,740
and afters
170
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:37,080
I am asked all the time to say that I
171
00:07:34,740 --> 00:07:39,000
would never go back or that I've gained
172
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,740
so much in perspective
173
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:44,419
and I tell them no
174
00:07:40,740 --> 00:07:44,419
before was better
175
00:07:45,780 --> 00:07:49,560
a few months after I got sick I wrote
176
00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:51,599
about this and then I sent it off to an
177
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:54,360
editor at the New York Times
178
00:07:51,599 --> 00:07:55,919
in retrospect taking one of the most
179
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,199
vulnerable moments of your life and
180
00:07:55,919 --> 00:08:01,680
turning it into an op-ed is not an
181
00:07:58,199 --> 00:08:05,400
amazing way to feel less vulnerable
182
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:07,139
I got thousands of letters and emails I
183
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,479
still get them every day
184
00:08:07,139 --> 00:08:12,900
I think it is because of the questions I
185
00:08:09,479 --> 00:08:15,720
asked I asked how do you live without
186
00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:16,979
quite so many reasons for the bad things
187
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,620
that happen
188
00:08:16,979 --> 00:08:22,979
I asked would it be better to live
189
00:08:19,620 --> 00:08:25,979
without outrageous formulas for why
190
00:08:22,979 --> 00:08:28,259
people deserve what they get
191
00:08:25,979 --> 00:08:30,479
and what was so funny and so terrible
192
00:08:28,259 --> 00:08:32,880
was of course I thought I asked people
193
00:08:30,479 --> 00:08:34,860
to simmer down on needing an explanation
194
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,959
for the bad things that happened so what
195
00:08:34,860 --> 00:08:40,380
did thousands of readers do
196
00:08:36,959 --> 00:08:41,940
yeah they wrote to defend the idea that
197
00:08:40,380 --> 00:08:44,339
there had to be a reason for what
198
00:08:41,940 --> 00:08:46,320
happened to me and they really want me
199
00:08:44,339 --> 00:08:49,080
to understand the reason
200
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:51,660
people want me to reassure them that my
201
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,580
cancer is all part of a plan
202
00:08:51,660 --> 00:08:55,620
a few letters even suggests that it was
203
00:08:53,580 --> 00:08:58,620
God's plan that I get cancer so I could
204
00:08:55,620 --> 00:09:00,720
help people by writing about it
205
00:08:58,620 --> 00:09:03,240
people are certain it is a test of my
206
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,620
character or proof of something terrible
207
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,500
I've done
208
00:09:04,620 --> 00:09:10,440
they want me to know without a doubt
209
00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:12,120
that there is a hidden logic to this
210
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:15,180
seeming chaos
211
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:17,459
they tell my husband while I'm still in
212
00:09:15,180 --> 00:09:20,100
the hospital that everything happens for
213
00:09:17,459 --> 00:09:21,180
a reason and then stammer awkwardly when
214
00:09:20,100 --> 00:09:22,980
he says
215
00:09:21,180 --> 00:09:25,380
I'd love to hear it
216
00:09:22,980 --> 00:09:27,540
I'd love to hear the reason my wife is
217
00:09:25,380 --> 00:09:29,100
dying
218
00:09:27,540 --> 00:09:33,180
and I get it
219
00:09:29,100 --> 00:09:35,100
we all want reasons we want formulas to
220
00:09:33,180 --> 00:09:36,300
predict whether our hard work will pay
221
00:09:35,100 --> 00:09:38,640
off
222
00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:41,220
whether our love and support will always
223
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:43,320
make our partners happy and our kids
224
00:09:41,220 --> 00:09:45,839
love us
225
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:48,959
we want to live in a world in which not
226
00:09:45,839 --> 00:09:52,680
one ounce of our hard work or our pain
227
00:09:48,959 --> 00:09:54,779
or our deepest hopes will be for nothing
228
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:58,339
we want to live in a world in which
229
00:09:54,779 --> 00:09:58,339
nothing is lost
230
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,420
but what I have learned
231
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:06,540
in living with stage four cancer is that
232
00:10:03,420 --> 00:10:08,040
there is no easy correlation between how
233
00:10:06,540 --> 00:10:10,800
hard I try
234
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:13,200
and the length of my life
235
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:15,959
in the last three years I've experienced
236
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,940
more pain and Trauma than I ever thought
237
00:10:15,959 --> 00:10:20,040
I could survive
238
00:10:17,940 --> 00:10:22,260
I realized the other day that I've had
239
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:24,720
so many abdominal surgeries that I'm on
240
00:10:22,260 --> 00:10:27,800
my fifth belly button and this last one
241
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,800
is my least favorite
242
00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:34,800
but at the same time I've experienced
243
00:10:31,860 --> 00:10:38,100
love so much love
244
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:40,500
I find hard to explain
245
00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:42,839
the other day I was reading the findings
246
00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:45,899
of the near-death experience Research
247
00:10:42,839 --> 00:10:47,519
Foundation and yes there is such a thing
248
00:10:45,899 --> 00:10:49,079
people were interviewed about their
249
00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:52,260
brushes with death and all kinds of
250
00:10:49,079 --> 00:10:55,560
circumstances car accidents labor and
251
00:10:52,260 --> 00:10:57,240
delivery suicides and many reported the
252
00:10:55,560 --> 00:10:58,980
same odd thing
253
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,019
love
254
00:10:58,980 --> 00:11:02,459
I'm sure I would have ignored it if it
255
00:11:01,019 --> 00:11:04,320
hadn't reminded me of something I'd
256
00:11:02,459 --> 00:11:06,600
experienced something I felt
257
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,820
uncomfortable telling anyone
258
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:12,540
that when I was sure that I was going to
259
00:11:08,820 --> 00:11:15,000
die I didn't feel angry
260
00:11:12,540 --> 00:11:16,920
I felt loved
261
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:20,220
it was one of the most surreal things
262
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:22,620
I've experienced in a time in which I
263
00:11:20,220 --> 00:11:25,500
should have felt abandoned by God
264
00:11:22,620 --> 00:11:27,959
I was not reduced to ashes
265
00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:30,360
I felt like I was floating
266
00:11:27,959 --> 00:11:32,279
floating on the love and prayers of all
267
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:35,579
those who hummed around me like worker
268
00:11:32,279 --> 00:11:37,740
bees bringing me notes and socks and
269
00:11:35,579 --> 00:11:39,600
flowers and quilts embroidered with
270
00:11:37,740 --> 00:11:41,820
words of encouragement
271
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:45,000
but when they sat beside me
272
00:11:41,820 --> 00:11:47,459
my hand in their hands my own suffering
273
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,620
began to feel like it had revealed to me
274
00:11:47,459 --> 00:11:52,019
the suffering of others
275
00:11:49,620 --> 00:11:53,459
I was entering a world of people just
276
00:11:52,019 --> 00:11:56,160
like me
277
00:11:53,459 --> 00:11:57,839
people stumbling around in the debris of
278
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,560
dreams they thought they were entitled
279
00:11:57,839 --> 00:12:00,899
to
280
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:02,040
and plans they didn't realize they had
281
00:12:00,899 --> 00:12:04,680
made
282
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:07,200
it was a feeling of being more connected
283
00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:09,240
somehow with other people experiencing
284
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,279
the same situation
285
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,360
and that feeling stayed with me for
286
00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:14,399
months
287
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,380
in fact I'd grown so accustomed to it
288
00:12:14,399 --> 00:12:19,940
that I started to panic at the prospect
289
00:12:16,380 --> 00:12:24,360
of losing it so I began to ask friends
290
00:12:19,940 --> 00:12:26,220
theologians historians nuns I liked what
291
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,019
am I going to do when That Loving
292
00:12:26,220 --> 00:12:29,820
Feeling is gone
293
00:12:28,019 --> 00:12:31,680
and they knew exactly what I was talking
294
00:12:29,820 --> 00:12:34,019
about because they'd either experienced
295
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:36,120
it themselves or they'd read about it in
296
00:12:34,019 --> 00:12:38,220
great works of Christian Theology and
297
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,720
they said yeah
298
00:12:38,220 --> 00:12:41,700
it'll go
299
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,980
the feelings will go
300
00:12:41,700 --> 00:12:45,600
and there will be no formula for how to
301
00:12:43,980 --> 00:12:47,639
get it back
302
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,279
but they offered me this little piece of
303
00:12:47,639 --> 00:12:52,860
reassurance and I clung to it
304
00:12:50,279 --> 00:12:54,540
they said when the feelings recede like
305
00:12:52,860 --> 00:12:57,779
the tides
306
00:12:54,540 --> 00:12:59,760
they will leave an imprint
307
00:12:57,779 --> 00:13:03,720
and they do
308
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:06,120
and it is not proof of anything
309
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:09,000
and it is nothing to boast about it was
310
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,980
just a gift so I can't respond to the
311
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,260
thousands of emails I get with my own
312
00:13:10,980 --> 00:13:15,839
five-step plan to Divine health and
313
00:13:13,260 --> 00:13:19,200
magical floating feelings
314
00:13:15,839 --> 00:13:22,920
I see that the world is jolted by events
315
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:25,079
that are wonderful and terrible gorgeous
316
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:28,620
and tragic
317
00:13:25,079 --> 00:13:30,540
I can't reconcile the contradiction
318
00:13:28,620 --> 00:13:33,360
except that I am beginning to believe
319
00:13:30,540 --> 00:13:34,920
that these opposites do not cancel each
320
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,440
other out
321
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:41,120
life is so beautiful
322
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,120
and life is so hard
323
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:48,420
today I am doing quite well
324
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:50,820
the immunotherapy drugs appear to be
325
00:13:48,420 --> 00:13:52,620
working and we are watching and waiting
326
00:13:50,820 --> 00:13:55,800
with scans
327
00:13:52,620 --> 00:13:57,839
I hope I will live a long time
328
00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:00,120
I hope I will live long enough to
329
00:13:57,839 --> 00:14:02,040
embarrass my son
330
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,899
and to watch my husband lose his
331
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:06,060
beautiful hair
332
00:14:03,899 --> 00:14:08,160
and I think I might
333
00:14:06,060 --> 00:14:09,959
but I am learning to live
334
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,240
and to love
335
00:14:09,959 --> 00:14:14,880
without counting the cost
336
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,920
without reasons and assurances that
337
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:20,040
nothing will be lost
338
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:22,220
life will break your heart
339
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:24,959
and life may take everything you have
340
00:14:22,220 --> 00:14:27,420
and everything you hope for
341
00:14:24,959 --> 00:14:29,760
but there is one kind of Prosperity
342
00:14:27,420 --> 00:14:32,639
Gospel that I believe in
343
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,660
I believe that in the Darkness even
344
00:14:32,639 --> 00:14:35,519
there
345
00:14:33,660 --> 00:14:39,240
will be Beauty
346
00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:43,800
and there will be love and every now and
347
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:45,310
then it will feel like more than enough
348
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,410
thank you
349
00:14:45,310 --> 00:14:48,410
[Applause]
