I didn’t really pay much attention to the Daniel Hauser case until he fled with his mom to avoid court-ordered chemotherapy. The story was already the buzz around the state, but it became national headlines when Daniel and his mom were on the lam. I couldn’t believe the attention the story was getting.

John 15:13
Jesus said that the way to measure people’s love is in their willingness to give up their life for their friends. Jesus showed us how much he loves us by dying for us so that we can be friends with God. But he doesn’t leave it at that. He also says, “Love each other [...]
