Worthy causes of the day: “Justice for the Angola 3”, “Stand up for Democracy in the Democratic Party”, and “Congress Must Protect Our Drinking Water”.

Divine misconception of the day: “Parents pick prayer over docs; girl dies”. It is perfectly correct theology that “healing comes from God”. The mistake is assuming that God is going to heal people just because of their faith or prayer; this has not been observed to be correct. In His abundant mercy, God has granted us ever-increasing knowledge of biology and medicine and bestowed doctors upon us, resulting in cures where certain death or chronic illness were the case before, prevention of horrible diseases, and longer life-spans.
