RR: No, I didn’t know that part of it.  John Ashcroft is a great man of God.  Some years ago we honored him with an honorary doctorate, a tremendous man of God. And I tell you something else that I remember about you.  See if you remember this.  Lindsay and I were going to conduct …

And what she was saying was, “I don’t have to touch Him.  If I can just get my hands on the Word of God, I will be healed.” Now, look, you’re there where you are.  We’re here where we are.  But as my father would say, there is no distance in prayer.  God’s right here.  …

ER: Well, we didn’t know anything about the Source. We didn’t know anything about planting seed. We didn’t know anything about expecting a miracle. We didn’t know any of those things.
