the power of prayer.
ah, miracles. and from rob's neck of the woods, no less:
The mother of an 11-year-old girl who died of untreated diabetes said Wednesday that she did not know her daughter was terminally ill as she prayed for her to get better.
Madeline Neumann died Sunday from an undiagnosed and treatable form of diabetes.
Her mother, Leilani Neumann, told The Associated Press she never expected her daughter, whom she called Kara, to die. The family believes in the Bible, and it says healing comes from God, but they are not crazy, religious people, and they have nothing against doctors, she said.
The girl's father, Dale Neumann, a former police officer, said he has friends who are doctors. He started CPR "as soon as the breath of life left" his daughter's body, he said.

This story is terrible and depressing. They were followers of an online church called americaslastdays.com. The first person they called after their daughter died? The online minister who warned them about the dangers of taking your children to the doctor. Ugh.
On their "church's" front page you can find such gems as "hidden scriptures, prophecies, and dreams," as well a "war cycles chart" and "lessons from the Titanic"- which you should at least skim for some laughs. Apparently only men are brave and the work and fight to end apartheid in South Africa was apparently the country's "collapse into chaos."
He even quotes Focus on the Family.
