Well ... Here I am, with a history of being critical of non-folk music postings, and I feel the need to post here. I was raised in the penticostal faith. Both of my GrandMothers, one American and one Finnish, were penticostal preachers. My childhood was very strange, so when I was 5 and 6 and 7 and 8, I mostly lived with one Grandparent or the other. I well remember the Summer I was seven. I lived with my American Grandma, who was also the local preacher for a Penticostal parish ... we lived in the Parish house, next door to the church. It WAS church services EVERY night of the week, and three times on Sunday. My family still talks about the time, I was eight and I decided to start 'speaking in tongues.' (I can still do it, if the money is right). I brought souls to the alter, and yes, I did lay hands on and heal. Was it phoney? No, not for me when I was seven. Where (how?) did I learn it ... from my Grandmothers. To further muddy the waters ... my best friend (Lauren) died of cancer ten years ago. It was fast and horrible. When the Doctors gave up, he called me and said he was going to a faith healer in Mexico. He died on shedule, but he did tell me that the healer did him some spiritual good. Do I believe in faith healing? Sure! Will it work for you ... who knows. I do believe that 'faith healing' can bring the powers of faith that are within you to the front, and that can help. Bob ... trying to be respectfull and helpful.
