Bishop McAlilly shares a story by Frank Billman about fostering children with HIV/AIDS at the height of the AIDS scare and the way Jesus slapped him down when he was having a pity party over the negative reaction of his church.
Jesus asked him: Who do you want more — your friends or me?
John Meunier 
It’s a GREAT story.
However it’s the testimony of The Rev. Dr. Frank H Billman.
Ack. Thank you, John. Stupid me.
this really hit home for me–so much like we experienced–. thanks for sharing it—Judie
I thought of you when I read it.
