Emphasis Preaching Journal

Kathleen Norris in Amazing Grace tells of a low time in her life when her husband became seriously ill. She relates: "My husband once went into a depression so severe that he had to be hospitalized for several weeks. I was stunned to learn that we had no medical insurance -- in his descent into despair he had canceled it -- but I also comprehended that this was the least of our problems. Finding out who my husband was, who I was, and rebuilding our life together; these were the critical things."
