To be a donor or not. That's the question.

I have a picture of a friend in my kitchen.  It has been placed in a very strategic place to gain my attention whenever I work in the room.  It is a beautiful picture of an even more beautiful and amazing woman.  Realistically the picture doesn't do her beauty justice.

I don't know if she has ever really known how beautiful she is or the amazing mind she has been given. Her gifts are vast and her compassion for people formidable.

She once loved God and dedicated her life to Him.  In fact she was consumed with doing His "good works."

I put her picture in that strategic place so that I would be reminded to pray for her.  I miss her terribly, when we have talked and texted since my move to Victoria, it makes me miss her all that much more.

I have been thinking about her more than ever lately, and so to her benefit, I have ended up praying for her more.

It has had me thinking of the "big questions" of serving God.  Like this:

I was putting my new driver's licence in my wallet and started filling out the BC Transplant information--actually to update the information.  I have always been a donor--but it got me thinking--if I have had cancer 3 times, maybe.....maybe???  they won't want me to donate?

The other big thing that I have been thinking about is if someone has my heart, lungs, retinas, bones, bone marrow or skin after I am gone and then God returns, the bible says the dead in Christ will rise first.  Does that mean that my heart, lungs, retinas, bones, bone marrow or skin suddenly depart from the person I donated it too?

Ew.  It's kind of a gross thing to think about...but that is how my mind works.  I believe the word of God to be truth and if modern medicine has gotten us to this place, it's got to happen like He says it will.

Maybe I should revoke my donation.....To be a donor or not.  That's the question.
