i repost these because they are the next things i saw:

"...it may very well be that God has answered your prayer for help with a ambulance and not a instant healing.

I've found that there is this huge disconnect in reality with churches involving sickness and death...I hear "Its not Gods will...rebuke this...rebuke that...by His stripes we are healed" As if it is some sort of confusion as to the nature of life and its struggles as if people think "Im a child of God this isnt supposed to happen like this to me!"...Well it can and it does.Saddest sight in the world is a mom with kids frantically crying and screaming in tongues in a ER right before the doc calls time of death.Miracles happen...but sometimes life sucks...we get sick without rhyme or reason and we die and sometimes we die painfully and horribly with no explanation. Pastors...Pagans...Sinners...Saints... at the point of death their lives meet on a level playing field...the only difference is where they go afterwards."

(i would disagree with the last part; the dead Samuel at "the witch of Endor," as well as Ecclesiastes, tell me that we all go to the same place. but regardless.)

"If it were not for medical science, my husband would be gone....so I am very thankful he is still here. On the flip-side, sometimes I wonder if we might carry the science thing too far and not trust enough..."
