- Crutch? Heck, I need a whole hospital. I need someone doing surgery on my
- heart. I need a whole set of people around me that ask me if I'm feeling OK
- when I start acting sick. I need one person that I have a special
- relationship with who knows my history and who am I and can ask questions
- about where I am and what I'm doing.
-
- Is God a crutch? I make no apologies for saying that He is my crutch and my
- my surgeon and the Chief of Staff over a whole ensemble of people who are
- important to my recovery!
