On which he healed the sick the halt and the teme. Heal Heair be would proclaim As be pressed in bands about the head of the afflicted such was Hii Power that Che crippled walked the mind saw and the Lone deaf Sang in  1 recall thinking even then what with his Rouen no and the Way he grabbed your head that curing a headache was most Likely beyond his capabilities. But if 1 was a Doubter and a Scoffer my Only excuse is thai i came by it naturally my rather being a Printer. It required All the Faith a Printer had imply to believe in the Linotype machine. Moreover the daily Miracle of getting out the news paper was a constant Drain on his Devotion. There simply was t enough left Over Faith Hope or Charity for the likes of , in the Case of my father there was Abo a medical ease that he happened to know of. She was a pretty Young woman who d had a husband a child and everything 1o live for. But because of to Auto Mobile Accident she was among neither the living nor the dead. She slept it was As simple us that but the could not be awakened not by her moved ones not by doctor no by any Power on  it Wai and understandably so that the family decided to put their Faith in Powers not of this world As administered by goal set Prodani Fulcd broker the healer dealer Oral Roberts. Since Oral did t make House Calis it was up to Hern to Tair the Young woman across several Stales to where he was appearing nightly. And she was delivered unto him. Heal Oral hollered she slept. Awaken Oral shouted. Still she slept. You win some you lose some Oral shrugged. That last pan i think my daddy made up. But this he swears was True. The reason the woman could t be helped Oral told them was because someone in the family was l saved. I they could find out who it was and have that person repent and be reborn then she could be healed but not until thai time. Of course that was my daddy s Story and i can swear thai it s the gospel truth. I you say it sound a bit outlandish i would t try to argue. But these Days any of us would be hard pressed to make up talks Thal d compare with what Oral is telling on himself far be it from me to judge diners but obviously that of boy has gone bananas. But i la Tell you what. Oral. To show that i m an open minded soother and Doubter i la give you a shot at convincing me. That woman never recovered and remained in a coma until the Day she died.

Oral heal heal can you really do it can you do for her now wha Lyou could t do for her in life can you holler loud enough. Oral o Wake the dead parenting in a permanent twitter by Ellen Goodman Aspen Colo. The morning stretches out Lei surely. I sit Here alone in a delicious High Altitude Leth Argy. This is my Firel Lajla of role reversal. Today i am the vacationing Mother of a working daughter. This Lime she is the one with the appointment Book and i am the one who fits into ils free hours. I walk her up the Moun Tain to work Aad come Back to fall into the sunday Papen. Above me is an Aerial Community of wallows. As i read the Heads of a dozen nuclear families Are working Ai a frenetic Pace. They Fly frantically Back and Forth tothe nests that Hrang together like a suburban housing development in a Row under the eave of neighbouring House. I hear the cries of the insatiable and dependent Young who live in those nesting nurseries. What is charming Tomy ear is 1 am sure As jarring As an alarm clock 10 their parents. Judging by he urgency with which these adults find and deliver food to their triplets and quintuplets i can imagine just How programmed they Are to respond. In my own new found emancipation i observe All this As an outsider to to trip species and to their anxious parenting. But it does t take much form to identify with this adult Community. It does t take much to remember the Long season of human dependency the years when the vocal umbilical Cord connected me to an infant s cries a child s needs. The years when 1 fell about As much free will As much Choice in responding to my own Young Ai these Bird. Today 1 have this Peculiar Houghl thai i can t shake wha a cosmic Irick it if that our Young children Are raised by the parents of Young children. What a trick of nature thai they spend their formative years with us while we Are under the stress of caring for hem. It is a joke i would share with the parents in flight above me if they were not so Busy with such serious stuff. But it s not just my joke. It s nature s. I wonder what he vie might be from the Nusl. What would the nestlings above me Tell their psychiatrist if they got on some aviary Couch what would their impressions be of this time in family life would they complain that i hair parents were always anxious in a permanent twitter that their parents never landed Long enough to really be with them would our own Many of my friends Are suffering As i have from too much of a Good thing children work marriage friends. One tells me that Rosl of her life with her children is spent Rushing. Rushing them. Rushing herself. So wow ones Phil Rik.
