Why? That's a question we learn how to ask at a really young age. I was a "but why?" kid through and through growing up (Priscilla here!). I never viewed that as a negative quality about myself, instead my parents did their best at cultivating my deeper desire to know and learn more. I still have a very curious nature and desire to know the answers and inner workings of things and people. Perhaps that's one of the things that made me the nurse that I am today and the mother/teacher of my kids so that I can now help THEM become life-long learners too. But what happens when we throw faith and God into the mix of this convo? The Bible tells us to walk by faith and not by sight. Simply put, it wouldn't require faith if we saw the answers to the test that we're walking through, the end result of something, etc. We would then just have data, or fact, and then make an educated and informed decision. But God calls us to not only make good, wise, and sound decisions like that in life but to first of all TRUST HIM. Trust in His plan which is made perfect and pleasing. To trust in the Lord with all your heart and not depend on your own understanding. Ok so then what do we make of the bad news, the health diagnosis, the financial turmoil, the family drama and division, the loss and grief that we go through in life? Why do bad things still happen even when there is a good God. Why aren't things making sense?

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
