Bent over and obviously in pain, the old man with a cane hobbled laboriously through the sanctuary and into the pastor’s office while the choir was practicing. Ten minutes later he came out, walking upright and moving with grace and speed. “Good gracious,” the choir director exclaimed. “Did the pastor heal you by faith?” “No,” the old man said with a smile. “He just gave me a cane that wasn’t six inches too short!” REMINDER: OSLC is signed up for Electronic offering giving
