God is Gracious

Well, got results back from my annual check-up and everything is clear. James 1:17 says that our Father only gives us good and perfect gifts. It’s hard to imagine cancer as a good and perfect gift, but I believe it is, just as much as I believe He has given me the gift of one more [...]
