The tragic case of two college girls who looked like twins. They were involved in a crash and one was killed. Mistakes at the scene meant that the girl who died was thought to be the survivor and vice versa. The family who thought their daughter survived spent 5 weeks at her hospital bedside praying for her recovery from serious injuries and a coma. The parents of the "dead" girl were grief stricken and buried who they thought was their daughter.

As it turned out, the identities were mixed up. The parents of the "dead" girl discovered 5 weeks later that their daughter was alive. The parents who had prayed all that time discovered they had been praying for someone else's child - their own daughter was dead.

It was a horrible case. My question is this. Both families were deepely religious, originally claiming the work of god in both cases. The "surviving" daughter was claimed to be spared by god.

So, was god just playing a sick joke? Is this an example of prayer working?

I am not talking about boyfriend /girlfriend stuff, or even personal stuff for that matter. Not that those things aren't significant, but outside yourself; what moves you with compassion? When do you say "I have got to do something about that, I have to help, I have to make a difference."

If so, how did you feel about it? And how did it make you feel while reading it (if at all)?

Is sex the god of this earth? Do people worship sex more than anything else? Why is porn a billion dollar industry? Prostitution too. Why are the latest t.v. skanks more well known than the teachings of Jesus Christ? Why are we bombarded with sexual images from all directions. Is sex the goddess of the world?

do you like this

Hello out there,
I write to you as you sit in your chair.
To those with no love,
I feel for you.

To those with love,
Someone you can call your dove.
That is great,
For you do not have to wait.

However, to those with no beloved,
Do not think you are unloved.
For though we have never met,
My heart is with you yet.

We may live many miles away,
Or maybe right down the way.
But that point aside,
My heart can love worldwide.

Though we may never meet,
Do not feel incomplete.
Though we have never known,
Do not feel alone.

My heart is with you,
So don't feel blue.
Someday, you will find your love,
Someone to call your dove
