But the longer I thought about it, the more I felt that I could no longer just sit here & read posts. I usually feel that I really don't have anything to add to this fine group. But not today. In no way do I wish to undermine your faith in God. But, in a few areas I do happen to disagree. Being the wife of Lutheran Pastor who just happens to have Parkinson's, I truly know that it is to seek God's kingdom first and foremost. I also know that healing will come, if not in this world, then in the next. It is with God's help that we are able to take each day as it comes. But to say that "in the grand scheme of things, both the disease and the cure are illusion", I really have to disagree. If you consider it an illusion, that's all well and good, but to tell others that what they are going through is an illusion is a little much. Each or us has our own faith, & that is as it should be. Maybe in the future it would help if you could put yourself in others shoes. Linda Warrenburg cg for Ben 69/5
