"If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead and rotten,either write things worth reading,or do things worth writing."Today,we honor Ben Franklin as one of our Founding Fathers and as one of America's greatest citizens.In 1732 Franklin published a book"Poor Richard's Almanac".Most almanacs contained information for famers,such as information about the days and weeks of the year and about the weather.To his almanac,Franklin added wise sayings of observations about life;some of these sayings are still famouse today.For example,"Early to bed,early to rise makes a man healthy,wealthy and wise,"and "Waste not,want not,"and "A penny saved is a penny earned."
As time goes by,I was able to work through my fears.Now I understand that the closest I have ever felt to God is in the back of an ambulance.When I rush out to help sick strangers,I am part of something larger than myself.
I thought,this lady should be dead over ten times.
When I rode alone with her in the back of the ambulance as another EMT drove,I reread the printout.She was 33 years old.No previous address. Her whole life as presented here was just a list of medicines,symptoms and illnesses.
"I really like Shirley Caesar,"I continued,thinking of the singer's hearbreaking song about a mother's love for her ungrateful son,pouring her soul into every word.I started naming other gospel singers.With each one,Nellie nodded back,and I saw her try to smile.I wanted to say something meaningful to her,something other than"Where does it hurt?"
But my eyes remained dry,like Nellie's. Hobbies:sewing and gospel music,I thought as we glided in the darkness of the night toward home.
