Welcome to A Word for Today

Many of you know my testimony about how God healed me from cancer.  But what you may not know is that I was told that I had gallbladder disease and had my gallbladder removed about 12 years ago.   At first the doctors said the disease was the reason I was experiencing the severe pains in my stomach.  However, they later learned that I had cancer.  Nonetheless, I had my gallbladder removed BEFORE they figured out it WASN’T my gallbladder after all.  The reason for this story is simple; I was told that I didn’t NEED my gallbladder (which is why my attempts to sue the doctors failed).   I thought, “How can a MAN tell me I don’t need what GOD has carefully placed in my body.”  Not having a gallbladder certainly didn't kill me, but it did create some other problems that I still deal with on a daily basis.  Medically speaking, the gallbladder is not a vital organ, but it is a very useful organ.  The gallbladder is a small organ that lives under the liver.  The purpose of the gallbladder is to collect and store bile or waste until it is released into the small intestines.  Its only job is to store the bile and push it into the small intestines.  This may not seem important but it is.  Why is this important?  Because without a gallbladder any waste from the liver goes directly to the small intestines and causes the liver and/or the small intestines to work overtime.  NOT NEEDED?   How wrong those doctors were!!  As a result there are many foods that I can’t eat without having problems with my digestive system.
