[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing that makes me crazy about the golf cart girl is how they keep praising Jesus. Apparently Christ can heal her but couldn't keep her in the cart in the first place. I wish them well but SMH. [/quote]

Oh totally agree. Is the husband a minister? He speaks like one on their Caring Bridge page (yes, I admit to stalking them last night). It's one thing to be hopeful and wish for a miracle, it's another to be in denial and unable to face reality. I guess it doesn't hurt anyone except maybe their other kid, but yeesh it feels like "we love Jesus the most so we deserve a miracle more than everyone else in our situation."[/quote]

I completely agree.  Something about the tone of his posts bothers me.  I mean I can understand they are devastated and in denial.  However, he seems to think his child will get a miracle - but there are so many people who have accidents who never get that miracle.  One woman commented on his post that perhaps she didn't have enough faith because her child didn't get a miracle.  I felt awful for her.  [/quote]

NP Not sure that I agree. A parents obligation is to their child. In this case, the parent is choosing to put all the energy into faith for their child; not judgment from others on whether they are entitl s to it. It’s not the parents responsibility to worry about what others will feel about their faith. Who cares what the odds are, when is Hope for healing ever wrong?

I had faith for my child that eventually died, and certainly said, why wasn’t my faith enough. Maybe people did feel bad. So what. that was my path and journey - not someone else’s, and certainly not reason for me to be jealous of someone  else’s good outcome. Life is life, and seeks to protect itself. We all have unique lessons to learn and apply in our path.

Hope that little boy is doing well, and hopefully no major injury.
