A boy died today. A boy I have seen up at the hospital, walking around, bald. He seemed pleasant enough. I didn't really get a chance to know him. My time there is fleeting unlike the many that are there for months and develop a deep bond. We have developed some too, but it is just interesting how many people just end up never really knowing each other there. I wish I could have known him. He was 13 years old friends!! Braveheart is 14. This boy looked full of life when I saw him in the hall talking with the nurses. He lost his battle with cancer. I don't know his whole story but I know he had a transplant. Why do I have to see so many sad cases lately??? Can I maintain hope in healing with all that surrounds me? Can I point the way to a Christ that loves us and is strong and supernatural?? I want to wake up now....I want to.....
Mark 11 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Magnanimously homeschooling, worshiping, creating.......
Join us on a journey of faith, healing, learning to live with part of our hearts missing, and recovery, as our family rebuilds our lives, after our son's long battle with cancer....and his eventual rise on eagle's wings into Heaven...victory is his...he is serving the King!!!

Why MAGNANIMOUS?
Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary of the American Language defines Magnanimity as such:
MAGNANIM'ITY, n. [L. magnanimitas; magnus, great, and animus, mind.] Greatness of mind; that elevation or dignity of soul, which encounters danger and trouble with tranquillity and firmness, which raises the possessor above revenge, and makes him delight in acts of benevolence, which makes him disdain injustice and meanness, and prompts him to sacrifice personal ease, interest and safety for the accomplishment of useful and noble objects.
