More Than We Can Handle

Cancer is waging war on my friends and family. It took my dad's life just over a year ago. Currently I have three uncles with cancer, two aunts, two of my colleagues in the Theology department have wives who had breast cancer, and it remains active in one case, and a friend in Georgia just passed away from cancer. Today a good friend in New Orleans who beat her cancer a year ago just learned that the cancer has returned. The idea that "God never gives us more than we can handle" seems ridiculous for those dealing with cancer.
