Re: [QUAD-L] About life and length of time as a quad

[DeLiMiTeD4]

You wouldn't believe how often I'm told that God would make me walk if I truely believed. All I have to do is have faith. Untill then, I'm just some damn heathen in a wheelchair taking the good parking places from all the people who prayed for a nice place to park. I just don't fit into these cults. I don't know why Benny Hinn doesn't allow SCI's into his healings, but I doubt that with all his inside conections with god, that fool couldn't heal a mild case of bad breath.   john In a message dated 6/5/2006 5:02:43 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Wish I had a dollar for every idiot I've met that thought I just wasn't trying hard enough.
