Do it for them.
Having known several....none have asked for prayers to be miraculously healed. They are usually about getting on with their lives. Go to college.... Get a good job.... Teach their kids to ride a bike..... Learn how to sit-ski. Tell really bad jokes about being an amputee...

Then there's Uncle Peg Leg, my son's Godfather. HIS jokes are atrocious. Sorry. No prayer circles. Though Peg Leg does sit in my living room drinking beer and playing poker and the table is round....does that count?

p.s. I take it your user name is because you like to snipe at people on the internet. Few military snipers advertise their occupation or make taunts about amputees since they know damn well what happens when someone loses a part of their anatomy.

Oh go ahead joke. All we need is three true believers, and they, with the help of the almighty could get something done.

My mother did not believe in trick or treat. She called it junior extortion. But, her mother, was a seamstress, and made magnificent costumes, now in museums. Nana was having none if it.

My father's Uncle Peg Leg, pledged to my mother there would be no begging for candy. No Tom Foolery, and ceremoniously, he held up his hand to pledge.

We were only allowed to visit our relatives. They all lived in the neighborhood. I imagine it must have been a sight for us little kids to be following this man in a pirate costume walking down the block.

My mother was never fooled She always thought it added to the intrigue.

This was the same Uncle, when his brother died, rolled his coffin into the bar next door for a proper send off.

You have allowed me to have a rush of memories. Thank you.

Firstly, for someone to return, they would have to have existed. Secondly, no one, no one even the alleged jesus came back from the dead.

The afterlife is essentially a scam of cosmic real estate and works tremendously well, there are no complaints from customers but ALL of them are/become dirt men or ash men.

A wooden closet doth no maketh a cosmic mansion.

Have you ever considered that you may be preaching to people who are ardently praying God will send them a pastor who teaches something other than religion according to Vizio?

Dew, in all fairness to Vizio, people do not sit in the pews long if they don't believe in a pastor's ministering, they are going somewhere else quickly, exit stage left.
