"one can very well pray for a restoration of physical health and at the same time take medicine prescribed by a doctor.  in fact, a believer should normally do both.  and there would seem to be a reasonable and right proportion between the use of these two means to the same end." - thomas merton

heck yeah.

i don't think i disagreed with any of this...?

i know it takes more than just prayer, which is why i quoted the guy who said that taking medicine AND prayer is what one SHOULD do.

I didn't know if you agreed or not, but I'm glad to hear that is how you feel about it. Keep smiling! ^_^
