Mark 10: 46-52

Blind Bartimaeus Receives His Sight
46Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (that is, the Son of Timaeus), was sitting by the roadside begging. 47When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

48Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

49Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." So they called to the blind man, "Cheer up! On your feet! He's calling you." 50Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus.

51"What do you want me to do for you?" Jesus asked him.
The blind man said, "Rabbi, I want to see."

52"Go," said Jesus, "your faith has healed you." Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.


Healing is not one-dimensional and has less to do with the body and more to do with the soul.

Everything I am stems from this verse. Everything in nursing stems from this verse.

The end result is not the Alabaster Foundation, but that all would know the intense, immense and incredible love of Jesus Christ so much so that they can jump to their feet, receive healing and live whole, content and freed lives.


This is the new and improved mission statement of all my future healthcare endeavors and life actions.


Nice to meet you.
