Why Doesn’t God Heal Everyone?
While I’d like to understand God’s mysteries, I don’t need to. My finite mind cannot comprehend the Infinite, but I am certain that God is purposeful, that life isn’t random, and God isn’t capricious. Whether physically healed or not, I can rest on God’s unchanging grace.

Caregiving Reveals Our Need for the Lord
Only the Lord truly satisfies, and caregiving becomes holy ground when God uses it to open our eyes to see our need for Him. As difficult as caregiving may be, it serves a redemptive purpose when it leads us to cry to the Lord: Every hour, I need You. You are my hope.
