There was desperation in their passionate appeal to motorists held up in slow-moving traffic right in front of this city?s General Hospital as the couple wove their way gingerly around both the exotic and the regular cars even as the man continued his round of virtually kneeling on the tar in supplication and expectation. Their child walked the shadow of death and getting enough money for this surgery of a life-time was more important to them than whatever was their dignity.

?Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.? ? Psalm 6: 2 (KJV)

Sometimes, it?s like tomorrow will never come
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
