For many years I had also been interested in using the scriptures for spiritual and mental healing. About eight years before I joined MFP, the Lord had sent me a woman who had had a great deal of psychological and physical suffering in her life and who was also very interested in the Bible. We had worked together to find the most comforting scripture passages. The result became a computer file, which later became a Web page called the healing Bible . The Web site was put up with these four pages on a Saturday in December of 1997.
Several people proofread it and made suggestions.
In particular, my friend who had helped get it started pointed out problems with the initial home page, so I revised it to its present form. As you will see from the home page , I include an e-mail address at which people can reach me for spiritual discussions or pastoral counseling. This is always an issue on the Internet, since it is so easy to fake Web sites and e-mail. During the past three years, several people have contacted me through the Web site. The most notable of these contacts was with a deaf-blind woman who was suffering from depression.
