The headline screams “Stock Market drops another 521 points.” Cities in Great Britain smolder from the fires set by raging thugs. France’s banks further exasperate the economic crisis in Europe. The national jobless rate hovers at 9.1 percent. Mississippi’s is over 10 percent. Thirty heroes die in Afghanistan. Our political leaders continue their childish bickering. The bad news continues to be crushing. The World has gone mad.
But there is was. Like a sparkling diamond in a pile of manure, it’s a headline that caught my eye — ‘Amazing’ therapy attacks leukemia.
Yes, the world is full of bad news. Especially when you focus on it. But there’s also good news out there. Seek it out. It can be found. When human T-cells can be trained to not only “see” cancer cells but destroy them, that’s good news. No, amazing news.
It’s a life raft of hope in an angry sea.
“Like a sparkling diamond in a pile of manure …” LOVE the imagry.
I heard you talk about this on the radio this afternoon. Wonderful news!
I sent u a link earlier this week about a new drug on the FDA’s fast track for advanced melanoma. My friend’s brother has stage 4, in all lymph nodes. This is a relapse-primary removed 3 yrs ago, and it was HUGE then. It’s abOut to get rough. God is gonna cut me off at the hips so I will get off my knees this week. Lost another friend today-a doctor I worked with for years and years died of cancer today. I had no clue he even had cancer. God, I loved that man. He wasn’t Mama’s primary doc, but saw her several times in the ER. She belonged to the same church as he and his family. He is the one who was working in the ER when Mom died and he came to pronounce her and cried with us. It’s like our entire community is in mourning.
