I wonder what that lady would say to references where Paul had to leave 
someone behind because he was sick?  Then there's the thorn in the flesh 
and the response "My grace is sufficient . . . therefore will I rather 
glory in my infirmities that the power of Christ will rest upon me.".  
I'm sorry you had to have that experience.  I think most of us have had 
to deal with something like that in our lives.  I had a guy break off an 
engagement to me because I didn't get healed of my blindness.  As it 
turns out, it's good that I didn't marry him, but the way it happened was 
pretty bad.  I'll bet most of these people whio say all sickness is from 
the devil have never had a serious illness or disability.
