Sometimes I am so sad that we have to live in a fallen world. I am sad that there is death. I am sad that there is sickness. I am sad that wives don't know their husbands, parents don't recognize their children, and grandparents don't know their grandchildren. Why? Why can't people just get old and physically stop working? Why can't we keep our minds while everything else fails? I just don't understand. I don't understand why God created specific sicknesses and why he allows them to happen. What glory does he find in them? Goodness. He finds goodness. He promises he turns all things for good for those who love him. I just can't see it now, but I know, one day, when we are all risen, we will see it. I am thankful that, even though our world is fallen, God sent His Son to die for us so that we could spend eternity with him. It will all make sense someday.
The walk is usually on Saturday, but it would have interfered with the Diabetes Walk this year, so they moved it to Sunday. Which, for us, was great because we had a Junior Bible Quiz meet Saturday and wouldn't have been able to walk. Our team raised $1125! The Alzheimer's Association had lots of fun things to do before the walk started and several assisted living properties were there giving out freebies. We ended up walking two miles and had such a great time hanging out with Daniel's Aunt, Uncle, Cousin, and her friend and sons. It is sad that we can walk for things like this, but it helps to cope for sure.

"Purple" water for Alzheimer's. It looked brown. Use your own imagination on that one. |
