God and Cancer

There are some days when God really shakes my faith to the core, and I have to dig into the Bible and reassure myself that His word is still faithful. Today, I heard the news that our pastor, Dwayne, a very good friend, may have renal cancer, which is untreatable (at least by chemotherapy, as I understand it). I don't know that much about renal cancer, but I do know Dwayne...and I found myself questioning why God would strike this evangelist, a man who shares his love for God with great compassion for people, with something as devastating as this. He's a young man, a runner, and now he's facing a very difficult journey. This is a Job trial, I guess. God has a purpose in this, but it will take some time for us to see it. Dwayne will be writing a blog about his journey, and when I can, I will post it as a link for others to share. I am glad that Dwayne was the person who led Brian to the Lord; Dwayne is an awesome witness to God's greatness and power.
Dwayne, if you're reading this, I've decided that I want to train for the Cancer Run next July...I've seen so many people afflicted with this horrible disease, and I want to do what I can to find a cure. So, if you have any suggestions on the best way to train, let me know...I respect your knowledge and ability about running.
