Wednesday, March 13, 2013 The Kings Mountain Herald | www.kmherald.net Page 5A MEDITATION Dr. Jeff Hensley Pastor Kings Mountain Baptist Church I' pray that what happens in this little story is apoc- ryphal and that it never actu- ally happened, but that does not prevent us being able to draw some lessons from it. It seems that in a certain hospi- tal’s Intensive Care Unit, pa- tients always died in the same bed, on Sunday morn- ing, at about 11 a,m., regard- less of their medical condition, and this both alarmed and puzzled he doc- tors. Some medical profession- als even thought that this un- usual occurrence had something to do with the su- pernatural. No one could solve the mystery as to why the deaths occurred at the same time every Sunday morning, but the situation be- came so frequent that it was determined that it had to be addressed, so a team of ex- pert doctors was assembled to investigate the cause of the strange situation. The doctors examined the entire room and areas sur- rounding it. They had all the equipment replaced, and they checked each piece of equip- ment carefully to be sure that it worked properly. They had the air in the room tested, the water and the plumbing ex- amined carefully. They did tests for unseen micro-organ- isms, and found none. They did interviews of all the med- ical staff that worked in the area, and found nothing un- usual or out of order. They searched and searched for an answer, but found none. Finally, the doctors de- cided that they had to ob- serve the room carefully at the time the various incidents took place to see what was unusual, so the next Sunday morning, a few minutes be- fore 11:00 a.m., all of the doctors and nurses nervously waited outside the room to see for themselves what the terrible phenomenon was all about. Some of them brought along their wooden crosses, prayer books, and other objects in the hope of warding off any evil spirits, and it was just before 11:00 a.m. that it happened. You see, some six months before, the hospital had hired a new part-time weekend custodian, and a few minutes before 11:00 a.m., this man arrived outside the room with his broom and dustpan, and all the other tools of his Fellowship & Faith Buti KINGS MOUNTAIN Advent Lutheran Church, NALC Member KM Senior Center 909 E.

While the doctors and nurses were watching, this custodian entered the room and unplugged the life sup- port system, plugged in his vacuum and began to vac- uum the room. The doctors and nurses rushed into the room and corrected the situa- tion, reconnecting the venti- lator to the power system. Oh my goodness! What a terrible thought! Having vis- ited in the hospital so much over the years, and having been so conscious that I did- n’t touch the wrong things and endanger a patient, this story just makes me shiver. I truly hope it never hap- pened. But the story also re- minds us of at least one valuable truth, and that is that each and every one of us matters when it comes to the care and well-being of the world in which we live. This also means that we should be mindful that we are influenc- ing others in everything we + say and do. Featured Church of the Week: SE CHURCH BRIEFS MACEDONIA BAPTIST CHURCH, 1101 S.
