=== Friendship and faith combine in obtaining a miraculous cure.

I love this.

In fact, the story of the cure of the paralytic has been a favorite of mine since I was kid primarily for the DARING shown by the two men who'd do anything to save their beloved friend.

Now that I'm older -- and thanks again to some priest in the Cathedral at Burgos who opened my eyes on confession and the subject of Christ as Physician -- I appreciate as well the points they make on His being perfect physician.

I had a guy last week (the day I hit a spin and blew the readings) remind me next day that my post was missed. Like others who've written me on the thread and privately, he's not a Catholic -- his post was to the effect that organized religion is not necessary to walk with Jesus daily.

But it energized me knowing that -- as self-directed, in a way, as this Discipline is for me -- indeed it's become something on which others rely.

I know the same goes for you. Look what you got me doing, as a matter of fact ... though I've yet to really master your diligence or your omnipresent good cheer, kindness and patience. (I get a little fired-up myself ... =)

Thanks, Salvation. Who knows how many pallets you've helped carry or tiles you've pulled away that others might get to the Greatest Physician the world has ever known?
