I was heading to Germany for a baseball camp on Friday… so of course as I was getting out of bed on Monday my back went out. I could barely walk let alone drive so I did what I always do… I called Dr. Jon Davis, my chiropractor. By Thursday, surprisingly although I had gone to see him a couple of times, I still hadn’t found any relief.
When I tried to get out of bed on Thursday to go to my men’s table, I almost couldn’t do it… I finally struggled to my feet and somehow drove to Panera. Driving was agony… and as I did my best Tim Conway imitation shuffling into the restaurant, I remember thinking “why in the world am I here?… and how can I get on the plane tomorrow?”
I told the men at my table how worried I was and as you might have guessed, they immediately circled around me and prayed. Truthfully, I had no hope, no faith, it would change anything, until I stood to leave… NO PAIN!! NONE!!!
Some men brought to him a paralyzed man, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw THEIR faith, He said to the man, “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.” Matthew 9:2
I can’t get there from here….. BUT WE CAN!
