Matthew 19:4-5 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one fl....

I used to think cancer was a bad word, but I don't think so anymore. My mother inlaw was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer in the second week in February 2014.
