SOMEWHERE

• A mother is trying to make up her mind whether to let a surgeon do an operation on her only child that may take her life.
• A man whose son didn't come home last night is walking through a door marked "City Morgue."
• A man is sitting on his bed toying with a pistol while his wife is shrieking at him from the bottom of the stairs to come down and explain his recent whereabouts.
• A wife whose marriage has "gone on the rocks" is on a street corner flirting with a man she knows will destroy her fidelity.
• A young woman is being wheeled into the delivery room from which she knows that mother or child, not mother and child, will be wheeled out.
• A tired doctor is shaking his head and saying, "terminal cancer."
• And...a contented "Christian" is staying at home deciding against going to worship services, because after all, he doesn't really have anything to be thankful for. -Anon. [Does this give us anything to think about? - Ed.]
