So, there is definitely no harm in me, or anyone else, having good thoughts about my recovery - whether or not they involve a deity of some kind is entirely up to the individual.MACMDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02271028892253203648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33118269.post-76898210946849004252010-02-19T12:38:05.894-08:002010-02-19T12:38:05.894-08:00Woo hoo!

The way I figure it, I have no more proof that it doesn't work than I have proof that it does, so what's the harm?<br /><br />The other thing I've thought about in terms of prayer is that there may be something to the mind-over-matter thing. I don't really believe that "god" is out there or listens to us, but I do think that sometimes when people pray, something changes in the chemistry of their brain, and while they might think that god is helping them, they are in fact the architects of the solution to their problem. <br /><br />So I agree with you about not saying anything to her, why upset her? And she might pray for you, which can't hurt.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18061383195063293235noreply@blogger.com
