Crazy neighbor update

[Guest guest]

Late last night Adam came in to my room and wanted to talk about the

neighbor and her views on people with disabilities. Apparently the neighbor and

her oldest teenage son told him that if he had

enough faith in God he would be healed. It was really bothering him.I am so glad

I checked my email before Adam and I talked.

Geri had shared her experience about never feeling good enough to be healed.

She really prepared me. I quoted her " In the Bible lots of people were healed

ALSO many were not. " to him. The last thing I want is for him to turn against

religion if he can find comfort in it.

Adam told the neighbor that he is fine and why would he want to

be healed from something that he could live with. He told her children that are

dying need to be healed not him. He also said something about me being older and

having CMT and how it would not be right for God to only heal him.

Then she brings up the generational curse she believes in.

(I hope she didn't tell him what she told me about Satan trying to cripple him

but I bet she did.) So the husband jumps in and tells Adam that he was born

" cripple " (I really hate that word). His Grandmother took him in to the desert

and prayed for him . She put mud or holy mud all over him and you guessed it he

was healed. He

even pulled up his pants to show Adam his legs were atrophied. (He has a

workers comp case for being hurt on the job. He has 10 bad disks in his back. I

believe that is what has cause his tiny bit of atrophy.) He tells Adam that the

doctors tried to sue the Grandmother for fraud. What ever that was about.

He got Adam hook line and sinker! I was speechless. I just looked at Adam for

like a minute. I had all these feelings and thoughts mostly bad ones. I told

Adam not to believe everything he hears, maybe the Grandma had made the story

up? It could have been a coincidence....He wasn't buying any of it. So finally I

had to say " Good for him

he was healed now maybe he can get healed from his drug addiction! "

(His wife told me the other day that do to his back pain he has become a street

drug addict.)

Well anyway Adam believes the husband was healed as a baby but thinks the wife

did acid when she was a hippie and has smoked to many cigarettes. He is

onvinced she has low oxygen to her brain. He did promise me he would stay away

from them but he wants to remain friends with the teenager that is his age. He

never wants to go to church with them. We both agree that we do not need the

grief that comes from the parents. I hope this is the end of it!
