If there was more of this going on, our world would be a much happier place:

The Body is Awesome!

We're going through "The Truth Project" with some people from church... talking about science today, the search for truth, to understand the particulars of the world around us. Following the truth leads me to believe there is a designer. There are so many amazing and awesome things in this world to say it was just chance and randomness and time that gave us the universe as we know it.

Here's one little clip: "The Inner Life of a Cell" by a company called XVIVO, made for Harvard Medical School. Shows some of the cellular processes in just one white blood cell. What you see in 3 minutes goes on millions of times per second in your body. Wow.



The heavens declare the glory of God - Psalm 19:1
The fool says in his heart, "There is no God" - Psalm 53:1
Since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. - Romans 1:20

Cancer sucks.

Been working in the Emergency department these past few weeks. Finished today's shift on a bit of a downer...

A fairly healthy looking guy in his mid-50's came in with sudden blindness in one of his eyes. Sure he had diabetes, but it wouldn't cause vision problems like that. Turns out he had been battling lymphoma (cancer of the lymph nodes) earlier this year, and had a mass removed in his forehead 9 months ago...

His CT Scan of his head looked a little like this (but not esophageal cancer):


So, how do you tell a middle-aged guy he has cancer in his brain?
How do you tell him his 6 months of chemotherapy didn't work?
How do you tell him his stem-cell transplant didn't work?
How do you tell him his time is limited, he's going to die?

With grace and truth, I hope.
