Testimonies
Make the heart
of this people
dull.
And their ears heavy,
And shut their eyes;
Lest they see
with their eyes,
And hear
with their ears,
And understand
with their heart,
And return
and be healed.
[Isaiah 6:10]

understand,
Lord."

and havin' y'ur HEALTH:
that was about IT."
[SMILING!]
(Mumbling.)
(Squirt some whipped
cream onto pie.)
(Get out a spoon.)
"The rest of it...
was just the cherry

little talk,
child."
(Squint.)
(Mouth full of pie.)
"..'bout, WHAT?"

Therefore
the Lord Himself
will give you
a sign;
Behold,
the virgin shall
conceive
and a bear
a Son,
and shall call
His name,
Immanuel.
