The Story – Conversations with…

I love this video. Shot in Sarnia and on location at the Coffee Lodge; it really says alot about coffee places.
Enjoy!

Blessed Cancer?

Tonight I attended a benefit for Karla Lopez. If you haven’t heard, she has cancer and is currently in the hospital. I know Karla from high school, more of an acquaintance but I know her all the same.

My sister Debbie also has cancer; she is currently undergoing chemotherapy and hopes to be fully recovered in the near future…….

This cancer thing really gets me. So many factors play into getting cancer and no matter how well of a life you live you can still fall victim to it. Am I not alone when I say I think this sucks?

Is cancer random?

In the Christian world you hear a lot of crap about “Gods plan” which is all find and dandy when things are going well. Comments like “it was Gods will that I met this beautiful girl” or “it was Gods doing that I got this awesome job.” I am sure you have heard someone say this in your life.

But now, facing cancer, we don’t hear too many people spurting off things like “it was Gods will (insert suffering persons name here) got cancer.” And if you have heard someone say that God let, allowed or gave someone cancer, I would think them an asshole just like you did.

Is it ok to have two sets of rules? Gods blessing can be his will and his doing when it’s good but when bad things happen…. Well that’s just tough shit isn’t it?

When Good things happen people give praise to God. When bad things happen, people have hope in God that He will correct things or make them better.

No one ever questions God about him doing a bad thing.
