Re: the Pope & PD

[Joe Thome <joethome@xxxxxxx>]

Hello Rayilyn,

As always you bring up some valid points. What I find most interesting about
the Pope is that he makes an excellent study for the effectiveness of
prayer. One would think that more people pray for his good health than for
any other person and yet his debilitation from Parkinson's appears to
continue to advance. I notice a similar pattern with Billy Graham. He too
must be in a lot of people's prayers for good health but his Parkinson's
appears to continue to progress too.
