More About Franklin

Do you remember Stinky Stream Lane and the tussled looking kid named Franklin that I was “called” to pray for? Well, 2 weeks after I prayed for Franklin, I had the opportunity to go back into the Oasis community. (The Oasis program is under Bobby’s supervision, and my office responsibilities don’t often allow me to freedom to go to Oasis as much as I’d like…..or at least not yet.) When I got to the end of Stinky Stream Lane, Franklin saw me and came bounding down his dirt slope yard and jumped in my arms. I swung him around and hugged him. His sister was soon at his heels. Both kids and their mom joined me hand-in-hand as we continued to go door-to-door to invite people to come to our program. To be honest, it was only then that I thought to ask about how Franklin was doing (since we’d prayed about a health issue 2 weeks earlier….although I couldn’t make out exactly what the mom was telling me that I was praying for). She said…. (and I’m not joking)….that he had not been sick at all since the day we prayed for him!!!! NOW HOW ABOUT THAT!!! WOW….WHAT A MIGHTY GOD WE SERVE!!!! Well then I was the one who was ready to do cartwheels and start jumping up and down….well, maybe not cartwheels, but I was ready to jump around! Isn’t that cool! Just had to tell ya!
