While in Philadelphia I heard that Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson were to be guest preachers at a North Philadelphia church, so I decided to go there and check them out in person.
As soon as I sat down, Reverend Sharpton came over to me. I don't know why; maybe it was because I was the only white person in the church? He laid his hands on my shoulder and said, "By the will of Jesus ,the Lord Almighty, and the will of God, you will walk today."
I told him I was not paralyzed. Then Jesse Jackson came by and said, "By the Grace of God, and his Son Jesus, the Lord Almighty, you will walk today."
Again, I said that there is nothing wrong with me.
After the sermon I stepped outside and, lo and behold, they were right...
