Last Wednesday, I was doing errands and was so surprised to see a banner-type sign in front of our local Catholic church that read: Healing Service Tonight. I thought about that sign all day. I realized that while I would be attending the Wednesday Evening Testimony Meeting at the Christian Science Church and would be listening to about 30 minutes of members of the congregation telling of healings they have had in Christian Science, there would be another group gathering in Knoxville and they would be praying for healing and undoubtedly sharing their healing experiences with each other. Then, as I was thinking about a subject for my blog today, I came across this article, below. http://www.freep.com/article/20110731/NEWS01/107310468/Growing-research-validates-healing-power-faith
While Christian Science prayer does not include the use of medicine, as talked about in this article, it is quite refreshing to see how people’s thoughts are moving from a complete faith in medicine to include a faith in the higher power…the power of God. Both the Old and New Testaments are filled with accounts of healing….of achieving and maintaining health….through spiritual means only. And, even though Jesus restored health in many instances of grave illness by spiritual understanding, people still failed to grasp the divine Science involved in the healings. Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer of Christian Science, revealed to mankind what health is and where it can be found.
While mankind is pursuing interests of all kinds, there is one pursuit that is probably common to all—-the search for health. Christian Science elevates the concept of health from a material level to a spiritual one. Students of Christian Science are constantly learning to never accept as true the material theories about health. It seems more logical to put our faith in the goodness of God and not measure true health by material conditions.
The article I shared talks about having faith in God. While Christian Science is not a “blind faith” in God, I do believe in Psalms 42:11, “hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance.”

@KerryIf you are working at home, and it is available (that would depend on how far out of Punta Cana you live) then a DSL connection is more cost effective. If you want to work at the beach then the URB modem is the best choice. Punta Cana is a heavy tourist area, phone and internet should be fine on most of the beaches.

Another poster commented on the fact that websites default to the same crappy fonts.
Goddasses. I like.
@John: Sorry for late reply, but I had to step away. (damn). Anyway, Thanks for the BDay wishes. I had veal piccata, but I like your idea of the tournedos Rossini, too.
Youve certainly helped me with these first few questions. Feel free to continue with those, commenting on my or one anothers thoughts, or adding new thoughts or go on to the questions that plunge you into Luther and A Mighty Fortress.
Well, if you’re not arguing with something that I’ve said or a point that I’ve made, I don’t see the point in bringing it up at all. I’m not going to argue someone else’s point.
Yup, Bozhanov might truly be and BECOME the Sultanov of the 13th Van Cliburn.
It came up in film class once that Star Wars could be considered a Western.
I wish people would stop creating list if they are not going to be objective. How can Tony Dorset only be 35 and Randy White 30? They both played for over a decade, were multiple Pro Bowlers, and Hall of Famers. Only 12 Cowboys of Hall of Famers so how can these two greats not even be in the top 12? The triplets were great, but of the three, only Emmitt Smith is comparable in greatness to Roger Staubach’s and Tom Landry. Your most egregious sin is placing the great Bob Lilly at number 31, behind Barry Switzwer. Seriously? I think you are just making a funny joke. Is the creator of this list even serious? I know that any list will reflect the biases of the creator, but how can Tony Dorset, Bob Lilly, and Randy White be not near the top of this list? What I find amazing in this very distorted list is that its creator actually knows a lot about Dallas Cowboy history, so how can he be such a lunatic?

@Jamie Three things are certain: Death, taxes, and lost data. Guess which has occurred
I liked your article is an interesting technology
thanks to google I found you
I dunno, Gunsmoke was before my generation and so it was never, personally, my cup of java, and TV Westerns as a genre had pretty much played out by the time I was growing up it was mostly cops and doctors and private eyes in the late 70s and early 80s BUT there must have been a reason for Gunsmoke to have lasted for 20 years and to have been more or less THE king of TV Westerns. I suspect generic wasnt that reason. A lot of people saw something, or many things, pretty darn good in it.
