They're found in most recipes for cold days and winter months they're filling and wholesome, and their ingredients are found in just about everyone's kitchen larder.

Religion & Spirituality > Meditation & Prayer The power of prayer to heal: 3 of 8

I never knew him personally; I'd only read of his life and work yet, I had been healed by him, and from the other side, too! I remember that night well. I was waiting for surgery at a nearby hospital, and as it was my first time under the surgeon's knife, the deadline seemed to be coming faster; in fact, it was within two da...
