Scripture for the day
Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but
let God transform you into a new person by changing the
way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will
for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
Romans 12:2 (New Living Translation)

DALLAS (Reuters) - Feeling under the weather? If you're American there is a one in three chance that you have encountered a divine healing and so you may put your faith in a spiritual rather than medical cure.
That is one of the findings of the second part of the "U.S. Religious Landscape Survey" released on Monday by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life. The first part of the survey, based on a 2007 nationwide survey of over 35,000 U.S. adults, was released earlier this year.
"A third of all Americans (34 percent) say they have experienced or witnessed a divine healing of an illness or injury," the survey said.
America's high rates of religious belief and regular worship attendance set it apart from most other affluent nations and ripple throughout the country's culture.
The survey found, for example, that 71 percent of Americans are "absolutely certain" of God's existence and 39 percent attend a religious service at least once a week.
It also showed that nearly a third of American adults reported that they received "definite answers" to specific requests made by prayer at least once a month.

On the case, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were forced to camp under the stars. Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend.
"Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see," said Holmes.
"Mllions and millions of stars." the good doctor replied.
"What does that tell you?"
Watson pondered for a minute. "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter-past three. Theologically, I can see that God is all-powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you, Holmes?"
Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke. "Elementary, my dear Watson. Someone has stolen our tent."
