		<description>Salaam &#039;Alaikum

It&#039;s funny how different words mean different things on either side of the pond.  I used a word a few weeks ago that just means &quot;little creature&quot; here (in a cute way) but means something sexual where you are.

Here, &quot;crank&quot; is crystal meth, a highly addictive drug that&#039;s spreading like a plague across the country and ravaging hundreds of thousands of lives.  We can&#039;t even buy cold medicines without showing ID anymore (and you can&#039;t buy  more than one package).  &quot;Crank&quot; also means grouchy and whacko, but I hear so much about the meth problem now that everytime I read your headline, my mind sees it as &quot;Crank dealer...&quot;

Anyway, it&#039;s interesting...

		<description>May God give him peace.

I&#039;ve often been handed a card by someone on the street about such Miracle Men? Am I the only one?

I usually think to myself: Gosh do I look that bad?!

Sadly such Miracle Men are using the troubled lives of people to make money. We seem to have become a society of helpless victims of lifes&#039; many problems. In our desperation to find an answer for our failing circumstances we turn anywhere where there is a remote chance of finding the &#039;Magic Wand&#039; - We forget to look towards Prayer - for there lies the ultimate gateway to healing.
