Did you get a chance to see the blockbuster movie titled The Perfect Storm? It was about a man at sea going to war with the “mother” of all storms. If you’ve not seen the movie then skip to the next paragraph. If you have seen the movie then you already know the storm wins the war. I am not sure why the storm was called perfect my guess would be because the storm won. If I am correct in my assumption that the storm was called perfect because it ended up taking the life of the main character then from my perspective the only way the storm could only have been perfect if it had taken the fishing boat and not taken the life of those on board. Things are expendable people are not.
The gospel of Matthew illustrates my idea of a perfect storm. “Jesus got into a boat, and his followers went with him. A great storm arose on the lake so that waves covered the boat, but Jesus was sleeping. His followers went to him and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We will drown!” Jesus answered, “Why are you afraid? You don’t have enough faith.” Then Jesus got up and gave a command to the wind and the waves, and it became completely calm. The men were amazed and said, “What kind of man is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!” (Matthew 8:23 – 8:27)
How does discipleship become a way of life in today’s world? Can God actually expect me to live a perfect life like Jesus did? Shouldn’t giving my life to Jesus be enough of a sacrifice? We learn fast after becoming a Christian that just inviting God into our lives isn’t the last step to living a Christian life. It doesn’t just happen over night. Becoming a follower is a life time pursuit. There can be many roads traveled before seeing the light but only one road can keep you on the path with God. Luke 14:27
And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.

MS is very hard to diagnose. It can mimic several other diseases or conditions and the symptoms one person has is not necessarily the same as another. There is no single or inclusive test for MS.
