on friday night, we decided to go out to dinner near the ballston metro stop. we were walking to the restaurant through the massive bus stop area, me on a crutch; because while i can walk fine without a crutch, i usually take it along when i am walking more outside of the house. i get tired, ya see.

anyway, so i’m walking on my crutch when we come upon a lady. she’s clutching her bible and shouting out to her Lord. she takes one look at me and starts shaking and rocking and screaming: “Lord Jesus, you must HEAL this lady, I call upon you to HEAL this lady NOW! she needs you, Lord, so please, PLEASE, heal her.”

i was tempted to throw down my crutch and walk right then and there, but i was afraid that this poor woman would have heart failure. so i lumbered on.
