My church is like dying or something

There's so much illness, in some cases it's terminal, and death at my church.

My boss's mother died in January, 2 other members were giving up on life and slowly dying. For the most part they're better, but their bodies are still frail.

Earlier this year it was found out that the piano/organist has Hep C. He's on a treatment for it and is slowly being cured.

In August the Senior Pastor found out he had cancer in his pancrease. By the time they operated to remove it, it had spread. Part of his pancrease was removed, his spleen and part of his intestines I think. He still has cancer, but there's nothingThere's so much illness, in some cases it's terminal, and death at my church.

He still has cancer, but there's nothing the doctors can do, but there was something about him changing his dietary habits and something else and prolong his life some. He's 60 something years old.

The Associate Pastor is going to be 80 in November. He's still a strong and healthy man, but age is wearing his body down...

Then today. Today was a shocker. Cynthia, the Senior Pastor's wife, found out she has cancer too. I think it's uterine cancer. I don't remember. But it's in the early stages. She's going to have a complete hysterictomy and hopefully that will lead to a complete recovery and her being cancer free.

When I heard that, I felt bad for the first thing that came to my mind. See, Cynthia & George were on this speciality diet and taking all kinds of vitamins - both "prescribed" by their herbalist, and look what happens. Everytime we had a church luncheon or dinner, and they stayed for it or came for it, they had something completely different than everyone else, and it looked like they were mostly eating salads. And that's all they'd talk about eating. Salads. The foods that we had wouldn't have hurt them, at least in my mind set.

I know eating healthy and taking vitamins isn't the cause for cancer, but it just seemed odd that within 6 months to a year of them starting that routine, this bad stuff started to happen. Cancer is very much apart of their family history.

So there's a lot of praying going on at my church, and I feel really out of place.
