...believers' wallets, it is a key part of their doctrine. And propelled by Osteen's 4 million--selling book, Your Best Life Now, the belief has swept beyond its Pentecostal base into more buttoned-down evangelical churches, and even into congregations in the more liberal Mainline. It is taught in hundreds of non-Pentecostal Bible studies. One Pennsylvania Lutheran pastor even made it the basis for a sermon series for Lent, when Christians usually meditate on why Jesus was having His Worst Life Then. Says the Rev. Chappell Temple, a Methodist minister with the dubious distinction of pastoring Houston...
...first is inflammation. An object lesson here was taught by an old drug. Those older than 50 might remember Zomax. It was an anti-inflammatory that was also an amazing pain reliever. I was just a medical student when it was pulled off the market because of side effects, but I clearly remember patients with broken legs or fresh post-ops who were treated for pain with Zomax alone.

I try to take time to find joy out of life and I don't take a day for granted like I used...
...rehashing 30-year-old details about Farah Diba, the Shah of Iran's very public wife (her patronage of the arts, her various cosmetic surgeries), my aunts speculated about Mrs. Ahmadinejad. Did she work? Read books besides the Koran? Stay at home mincing vegetables? I told them she taught at a girls' school, but this vague factoid - which I learned from a source close to one of Ahmadinejad's vice presidents but has not been confirmed elsewhere - didn't satisfy them much...
