Read: Mark 2:1-12
Son, your sins are forgiven you. . . . Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house. —Mark 2:5,11
Bible In One Year: Isaiah 43-44; 1 Thessalonians 2
A social worker told her colleagues about a young boy in an urban ghetto who appeared to be little more than a bit of twisted human flesh. He had been struck by a car several months before and had not received proper medical attention.
Although not part of her caseload, the social worker took the boy to an orthopedist, who performed surgery on his legs. Two years later the boy walked into her office without crutches. His recovery was complete. The two embraced. "If I accomplish nothing else in my life," said the social worker to herself, "I have made a real difference with at least this one!"
She paused, then said to her colleagues, "This was all several years ago now. Where do you think that boy is today?" Some suggested that he might be a school teacher, others a physician or a social worker. With deep emotion, the woman responded, "No, he's in the penitentiary for one of the foulest crimes a human can commit. I was instrumental in teaching him how to walk again, but there was no one to teach him where to walk."
We must point people to Jesus. Through Him, those with broken bodies, broken dreams, broken homes, and broken hearts receive wholeness of life. —Haddon Robinson

Everyone knows here that I have no use for Maxwell Taylor, who in those days commanded the 101st.
Taylor was the sort of commander who hung out at higher command instead of with his troops.
In the 60's Taylor gave cover to the Viet Nam war being run by the like of McGeorge Bundy and McNamara.
A bad man.
The officers and men of the 501st, 502nd, and 506th Parachute Infantry Regiments and the gliderborne men deserved much better than Taylor. They were an utterly first class bunch in every way. Add them to the men of the All Americans and you have men I am proud to call Countrymen. The past is not over, it is not even in the past.
