Emphasis Preaching Journal

A pediatric surgeon I know here in Omaha tells of a six-year-old boy who I'll call Tommy. Tommy had to have a test done which required a needle to be put into his back to draw some fluid from his spine. The little boy asked the doctor if it would be all right if he recited the twenty-third Psalm while the procedure was being done.

"Of course," said the doctor.

After the procedure was finished, the doctor praised the boy for sitting so still while the work was being done.
