09-06-2013 – This incident in scripture has a very personal meaning to me. In the midst of a very difficult year I was facing in college mother fell seriously ill. Subsequently, her health deteriorated and she was hospitalized. I was devastated. Her prayers in my behalf, her faith, her wisdom, I could not stand the thought of losing her. Even now in my minds eye I can see my self walking to work thinking about it and this passage came to mind.
