What is the desert? Is it a place that we find ourselves in and have to struggle out of? Is it the location of several bad things happening? So often our prayers are focused on the transition out of the desert. Yet, we find that God uses the desert in Scripture as the very location where He calls His people to grow, follow, trust, endure, submit, all of it. Remember the story of Hagar and Ishmael and how they became so desperate that they separated from each other so they could do in peace. God answered their prayer. He brought water. He didn't remove them from the desert, He gave them what they needed to ENDURE the desert. How would we be different if embraced the desert as an opportunity rather than a place to run from?

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.
