how that works out.  Remember that woman that was captured by the
tr'rists in Iraq?  She was a CS Monitor reporter...  and I think the

seeing doctors before Jesus will save them with his
something-or-other, I don't entirely understand exactly, basically if
God wants you to die you should die and not fight it, I think.
