THE CONTINUING STORY

OF LOVE'S GREATEST GIFT

SEGMENT THIRTEEN

*************************************

     RICK'S HEART WAS DISTRESSED AND BURDENED.  HE TRIED TO GATHER HIMSELF AND SILENTLY ASKED GOD FOR STRENGTH, KNOWING THAT HE HAD TO LEARN A LOT MORE OF THE IMPORTANT FACTS.

     "PLEASE CONTINUE AND INFORM ME", HE SAID TO THE MEN.  "AS I WAS TRYING TO SAY", THE ONE MAN REPLIED.  "YOUR CONDITION IS RARE AND A MAJOR CONCERN".

     "IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE?  TRIALS?  ANYTHING?" RICK ASKED WITH CURIOSITY.  "WE KNOW OF NOTHING AT PRESENT" THE OTHER MAN ANSWERED.  "YOU MUST GET YOUR AFFAIRS IN ORDER.

     RICK SWALLOWED HARD.  JUST THEN, THERE WAS A LARGE BOLT OF WHAT SOUNDED LIKE LIGHTNING.  BUT IT COULDN'T BE.  THE LIGHTS WENT OUT.  RICK CLUTCHED THE CHAIR AND SILENTLY PRAYED AS FEAR SWEPT OVER HIM.
