Emphasis Preaching Journal

Bob had had a heart attack, and it was bad: He had lost a good deal of muscle tone, and his blood pressure failed easily. Fluid kept building up in his lungs, and he had been in and out of the hospital to have it drained. His skin was gray, his face lined. He had aged at least ten years in the space of a week. The doctors tried a variety of drugs, and after many trials, settled on a new, experimental drug. They also prescribed oxygen to be used whenever Bob laid down or whenever he was up and walking around for more than five minutes. Bob hated the regimen.
