I believe in miracles and I also believe that doctors also receive wisdom from God to effect a cure for us. One thing in the world that is obvious is the extremes of religious belief that exist out there. It is very easy to be a radical and be at one extreme or the other - it is much more difficult to be balanced and in the middle and that what "extreme Christianity" really is about - not the extreme at all, but being in the middle. One only has to read the Sermon on the Mount to discover what a true spiritual program (notice I didn't use the word religious) should look like. I would look on it as an affirmation, that you are under attack, of the good you and the OCF site are doing. Satan wants us all dead! Keep up the good work and don't be discouraged. People who do good are almost always persecuted - so wear your new badge with honor! Thank you for your sensitive and eloquent response. Have a nice vacation and I hope that you are back soon.
