Sweet times

We've been talking to our children about painful times, difficult circumstances, God's love and His Sovereignty. Our kids know the Bible story of Joseph pretty well. So when Ansley got to thinking about God working all things together for our good and His glory she came to me said, "Mommy, I know that Brian is probably not going to be second in command in Pensacola, but..."


We read the following in church yesterday and it was very timely:

Heidelberg Catechism, 1563
Question 28. What advantage is it to us to know that God has created, and by his providence does still uphold all things?
  Answer: That we may be patient in adversity: thankful in prosperity; and that in all things, which may hereafter befall us, we place our firm trust in our faithful God and Father, that nothing shall separate us from his love; since all creatures are so in his hand, that without his will they cannot so much as move.


There is some good info on LCH. If you want to watch the videos and learn more about it click HERE.

Dr. Parmley describes LCH in simple terms. He says if you look at the LCH cell under a microscope you see characteristics of a blood disorder, characteristics of an auto immune disorder and characteristics of cancer. It is treated the same way you treat cancer. He considers it a cancer.
