What would happen if you lost your sight? In June, 1985 I had surgery for a brain tumor. When the doctor came in my room the first night I was in the hospital, he told me what my prospects were. He said I could lose my sight in one or both eyes, or my speech, or the ability to walk. He said I might not even live through the surgery. So the possibilities were frightening. I remember saying to the doctor, "I only need one good eye. More than that I need to be able to speak." I knew a preacher needed his voice more than he needed his vision. But still I did not want to lose the ability to see. None of us would want to lose our sight. Think how it might have been if you had been born blind - if you had never been able to see.

The roads Jesus chose to follow carried him always closer to Jerusa…
