oh, ok, these comments are difficult to follow sometimes, the way they are listed. i missed this one. i like like Pat and Joyce because they appear to be genuine. they have the means to get a message to a broad audience and i don't feel they abuse it. i do no discriminate against a preacher just because they are on tv. marilyn hickey and her daughter are good people too, just i don't like it when maryiln raises her voice, so i don't watch much. i do not believe those shows that have the people standing there and they blow on them and they fall, or the ones that get out of their wheelchair and say they can walk. i have heard too many phoney stories about that. but, i will tell you, my great grandma went to see oral roberts when i was a kid. her leg hurt so bad she could hardly walk. she said he healed her. that woman was a saint, so i don't know. i was either very young or not born when it happened, but i was told about it many times by my mom. if it were not my grandma, don't know if i would have believed such a story, but she raised me for my frst 9 yrs and she was as honest as the day was long. the poem is nice, but i still cannot understand why some people have to suffer, especially children, when people are praying. everyone says prayer will work, much of the time it doesn't, even if a nation is praying.
