Close Encounter With a Presidential Hopeful

Several years ago, a Nebraska doctor was touring Washington, D.C., with his family. While in the U.S. Capitol, a woman in their tour group suddenly collapsed. Naturally, the doctor intervened and administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation to save her life.

Just then, a man who is now one of this year’s Democratic Presidential hopefuls, whose name was one of those involved in today’s Iowa caucuses, swept by.

He stuck his head into the group around the doctor and the woman. Then he turned back toward his staff, the media and other onlookers, and announced grandly:

“She’s going to be OK. It’s taken care of.”

Naturally, many people assumed that HE had been the one to save the woman’s life. He made not even a gesture in the doctor’s direction.

It all left a funny taste in the mouth of the doctor, not that he was looking for any credit or fame or anything like that.

You can bet he’ll never vote for the guy. One down . . . how many million to go?

Prayer request: Lord, give grace, comfort and strength to a young woman and her family as they face the very difficult process of divorce and single-parent child-rearing. Instead, Lord, turn the heart of the young man, whom they still love and pray for, but who fell as a casualty in the siege against families. We pray for reconciliation – the better way that You have prescribed. (2 Corinthians 5:18)
