Was there disease before Adam sinned?

Many Christians and even Christian leaders, have accepted the evolutionists' teaching of millions of years when it comes to the fossil record. When believing this many don't take into account that they are also accepting that horrible diseases were rampant before sin.
There's a special branch of science called paleopathology. This branch studies diseases in fossils. For example, dinosaur bones that are supposedly millions of years old show evidence of arthritis, abscesses, and osteoarthritis. Many fossil bones have also shown evidences of cancer and other diseases.
So, by a Christian believing that the fossil record was laid down millions of years before Adam and Eve, then they also have to accept that there were all sorts of horrible diseases in the world before sin. But how could God have described such a world as VERY GOOD?
Many of the diseases found in fossil bones are the exact same kinds of diseases that also affect humans.
No, our answers from the book of Genesis make it clear that there were NO diseases or death before sin. This is just one more reason why Christians cannot believe in the millions of years theory to form the fossil record.

The Season of Spring

Gurgling streams and laughing creeks,
Green buds in soft soil awake,
The call of wild birds on the velvety lawn,
Brings others to reside on the lake.
Daffodils, crepes, and pink-kissed buds,
Lichen and moss turn green,
Bullfrogs croke near the old well-house,
Where the picnic spread is seen.
Winter has passed, a new song is sung,
The trees come to life once more,
No more days waiting long by the fireside,
Now the seagulls call us close to the shore.

Prayer: The Work of Missions: By John Piper

Prayer: The Work of Missions :: Desiring God Christian Resource Library

I have found this sermon by John Piper to be challenging, convicting, and encouraging! I ask those who follow my blog to visit this site and read Piper's message.

"Until you believe that life is war, you cannot know what prayer is for. Prayer is for the accomplishment of a wartime mission. It is as though the field commander (Jesus) called in the troops, gave them a crucial mission ("Go and bear fruit"), handed each of them a personal transmitter coded to the frequency of the general's headquarters, and said, "Comrades, the general has a mission for you. He aims to see it accomplished. And to that end he has authorized me to give each of you personal access to him through these transmitters. If you stay true to his mission and seek his victory first, he will always be as close as your transmitter, to give tactical advice and to send in air cover when you or your comrades need it.
But what have millions of Christians done? They have stopped believing that we are in a war. No urgency, no watching, no vigilance, no strategic planning. Just easy peacetime and prosperity. And what did they do with the walkie-talkie? They tried to rig it up as an intercom in their cushy houses and cabins and boats and cars - not to call in fire power for conflict with a mortal enemy, but to ask the maid to bring another pillow to the den.
If we are going to mobilize a powerful prayer movement for missions or even sustain the will to pray in our own hearts, we must talk about something else first, namely, war. We have so domesticated prayer that it is no longer, in many of our lives and churches, what it was created to be - a wartime walkie-talkie for the accomplishment of mission commands.
We simply must create in ourselves and in our people a wartime mentality. Otherwise the Biblical teaching about the urgency of prayer, and the vigilance of prayer, and the watching in prayer, and the perseverance in prayer, and the danger of abandoning prayer will make no sense and find no resonance in our hearts. Until we feel the desperation of a bombing raid, or the thrill of a new strategic offensive for the gospel, we will not pray in the spirit of Jesus. " ~John Piper~

Winter's Window

Thick woven tweed,
A kettle that sings,
Snow on the pane,
Frozen wind winter brings.
Leather-bound books,
Purring cat at my side,
Bottled up dreams,
On summer wings gently glide.
Dream on sleepy child,
Dream of calm summer songs,
When the wind whips the glass,
Your heart, summer longs.

Winter

Snow covered banks in December,
White blanketed mountains stand tall,
Birds of red feather go scouring,
Flying low through white lacings that fall.
Colored diamonds and gems smile gaily,
Across landscapes of hill and plain,
While the song of winter continues,
Summer's warmth must play its refrain.
