I have just completed reading Kate Bowler's There's No Cure for Being Human (And Other Truths I Need to Hear). It's a touching memoir by a Christian woman whose PhD and extensive studies in Religion did not prepare her for a diagnosis of stage 4 colon cancer.

I wouldn’t say being sick tried her faith.

It certainly made her question it, and here I am pondering human-ness as well.

There’s no cure for being human because…

We don’t want a cure.

Being human is now. It’s the present. It’s freedom(even while it slowly disintegrates)

There’s no cure for being human because…

It’s by design.

Whoever you believe your Designer to be. You did not create yourself.

There’s no cure for being human because…

Any other cure has been tried already.

Herbal remedies.

Voodoo.

Religion.
