It's a MIRACLE


Have you ever heard a story where a friend (or maybe even You), has went to a doctor for one reason or another and after getting checked out for something they find a problem? Then after that problem gets checked out, they tell you that it's worse than they thought and they don't know how your feeling so good because you should be a lot worse off than how your feeling. In other words, your condition 'should be' so bad that you shouldn't be able to function normally, but by some miracle your life goes on pretty much like normal.

I hear this waaaayyyyyyy too often. I lost count of the times I've heard people tell Me about a health problem they've had, and went to go get it checked out, only to have the doctors say "It's a miracle how well your doing!!" "I've never seen anyone get around as well as you with this condition!" "You should be in tremendous pain with the shape of your (whatever organ) is in!" "I've done a lot of surgeries on (whatever organ), and everyone who's (organ) is in this shape is normally in a wheelchair by now."

Now ... either I constantly hear 'the best' stories from the most 'amazing patients' in the world, OR, these doctors are full of crap! I honestly think that if you go to get your medical degree, in whatever field it's in, the very last day of school is dedicated to 'How to tell your patients they have beaten the odds'. In other words, how to tell them that you've NEVER seen anybody do as well as they have. I don't know why they do this? It's a nice concept if you hear it once, but after hearing the same patter over and over with a bunch of different people it starts to get a little suspicious.

We're all suppose to walk around thinking that each and every one of us is a 'one in a million miracle'!! It's like doctors are trying to sell an infomercial product or something! Just ONCE I'd like to hear a doctor say, "I've done 1000's of these surgeries and this one was the worse case I've ever seen .. and He died!" That's terrible .. I know, but it's better than the stupid story you hear every other time, which is "I've done 1000's of these surgeries and this one was the worse case I've ever seen .. but by nothing short of a MIRACLE, He pulled through!!" Because IF that many people barely pull through all the time ...... it's NOT a miracle, it's just human nature!

So doctors, quit pulling the wool over our eyes and trying to make us feel like we're all 'one in a million miracles', I think We'd all be much happier just hearing the truth .. no matter how grim it is. AMEN.

Todays RBV: Rebelation 6:4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

This is one of the 'end time' prophecies that is predicted. I'm just wondering how we'll know when this starts to happen, as it's already happening now, and in fact, has ALWAYS been happening.
