My response to Mortimer would be that we must not allow our illnesses to minimize our faith in God's plan for each and every one of us.  Even Jesus' first chosen disciples had physical challenges and yet they saw Jesus doing many healings.  Their faith was never compromised by these challenges.  Yes, they physically walked with Jesus but we choose to walk with him spiritually.  That should mean our spiritual self can over-ride our physical self.  I have many physical challenges.  People stare at my skin because I have psoriasis.  They are not aware that it is fading and my skin does look better now that I do everything I can to minimized the toxins that I use to pour into my body regularly before I began to educate myself and take responsibility for my own health and well being.  I have type 2 diabetes and I take Combetic and I pray to our Father in Heaven to help me do better and I thank Him every day for what I am learning.   The liver is the most important organ and it deals with toxins.  The juice of one lemon in an eight ounce glass of water helps to cleanse the liver. It is quite refreshing, too. And I continually remind myself that I am not guaranteed tomorrow but my place in the soon coming Kingdom of God is guaranteed by a loving Creator God and Heavenly Father. Hugs from Florida
