Yes, I actually have medicine in the medicine cabinet. My body is old and creaky and this stuff helps to alleviate some of the creaks. Some of you might be thinking that you have considerably more medications in your household ... well, this, indeed isn't all of our stuff. In fact, one of the most expensive things I pay for (along with my insurance) is a medication for my Crohn's Disease which doesn't sit in my medicine cabinet but must be taken via I.V. at the local hospital. I am incredibly thankful that I live in an age when modern medicine can so easily treat things that years ago might have killed me. And yet, there seems to be a dark side to a culture in which we we might rely a bit much on chemical cures for everything. Hopefull, we're all coming to a greater understanding of the complexity of life. Even as science delves deeper into the physical causes of things, the mystery of the human body intensifies. "We are fearfully and wonderfully made," says Psalm 139.
