There is so little justice in this world

For any of you who have spent much time in church, you know that there are plenty of people who say they're Christians but you just can't understand why they do the things they do. Yes, they're called hypocrites and they're always blamed by non-church people as the reason they don't go to church. It's a problem that has always been and will always be until God sorts everything out in the future.

But occasionally you'll run into someone who just seems to exemplify the kind of life you envision should be labeled Christian. They are usually very humble and quiet (though not always quiet) and they just seem genuinely concerned about others more than they are themselves. And they do it all without drawing attention to themselves. When someone has a need they aren't just concerned about it, they do something about it. They just seem to use most of their energy attending to the needs of others.

That's the kind of person I know who has just learned she has cancer, and a very serious variety of the devil's brew. Why is it that someone like her gets this insidious disease and not someone who spends most of their time and money on themselves? There is just no real justice here on this earth. The rain falls on the just and the unjust; and cancer afflicts the just and the unjust just as well. And I think it just sucks.

God is God and I love Him, but I hate it when someone like my friend has to go through something like this. I don't wish cancer on anyone, to be sure, but why her?

All I can do is pray, pray, pray and I will.

But I'm not ashamed to say, "Damn cancer, damn it straight to hell".
