Yesterday, a friend of ours pasted away from a brain tumor. He was the principal of Madrid High School, where both boys graduated from. He was diagnosed with the tumor in the spring of '07.
Now, I've gone to several funerals of people who have died from cancer, but this time it is different. Mark wasn't an elderly man, he was my age. His son played football with Josh and graduated with Zach. He was diagnosed while I was still bald from chemo. Over the past two years I have followed his condition on his blog. I have cheered for him as the experimental treatments worked and the tumor shrank. I have cried for him as his condition deteriorated.
I'll admit that his death shakes me a little. I can't help but wonder why??? Why did someone with so much going for him have to die so young? Why did God heal me and not him? What if I get cancer again? That could have been me... Goodbye Mr. Cosens, we'll miss you!

My pastor's wife was diagnosed with liver cancer 2 weeks ago. I have struggled with those same questions. God's not finished with me yet.
