Name That Tune

Preface: A college professor of mine who also worked for a newspaper wrote a front-page article about my life story, highlighting my simultaneous triumphant cancer fight and college graduation. The story sparked the interest of the television program “Inside Edition.” Not knowing much about the newsmagazine program when someone from the show called me the day after the paper came out with my story, I immediately declined an interview. Subsequent years have caused me to wonder if that was the right choice, but now I know God is using my blog to reach more people than one brief couple-minutes-long aired television segment ever could. In most situations, my feelings are best expressed through rhyme; in this case, my tailor-made version of an old classic:

The itsy bitsy phone call came when college was out,

A newspaper story, me it was about,

“Inside Edition” really liked my “game,” 

And I said “No” – now’s not the time, & life resumed again!
