"THE BAD WORD"

ERVIN OUTLAW (grandfather)

1930-1998

I lost both grandparents, many uncles, aunts, cousins, and in laws to the "bad word" Cancer. None of us know if that fait awaits us. You can eat right and exercise daily and still find yourself in the battle of a lifetime.  It seems so unfair that good people who lived good productive lives have to meet a fait such as that. I worry sometimes if that fate awaits me. I don't always eat the right thing and although I exercise I don't on a regular basis. But even then there is no guarantee. Today, an in-law of mine is being buried, yet another victim of this random disease. It makes me sad to know that you can live right and still meet a cruel fait such as cancer.  My heart goes out to all those who have been touched by this disease. My thoughts and prayers are with you always...

1 Peter 1:24-25
For, “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, [25] but the word of the Lord endures forever.” And this is the word that was preached to you.
