None of us were advocating NOT seeking out whatever medical help one might need; so far as I know, none on here subscribe to the Christian Scientist beliefs which shun such.

I don't believe that it is ever that black and white. Wyo Woman's newspaper just carried a story about a baby in our town. This baby was born last summer with a serious heart defect. There were no good options; surgery might not work, it could even kill her; meds would work for a short time and then they would have to seriously look at surgery or death.

There's much more to it than that, BUT what the article focussed on was that despite nothing medically being done to reverse or repair this very real, physical, life-threatening defect, the heart began to mend itself. She is now home for the first time since birth and doctors say she will be able to participate in a normal life. Even the DOCTORS are calling THAT a miracle. They have no explanation.

Our minds are quite powerful. Didn't Jesus say something to the effect of "As you believe, so shall it be?"
