DiseaseThere are 254,078 reported cases of AIDS worldwide; because of

underreporting, there are an estimated 600,000 total cases.  Nations with the most reported cases:  USA  126,127; Uganda 12,444; Zaire 11,732; Brazil 10,510; and France 8,883.

   But, have you heard that the highest rate of Aids in the entire world is in New York City?  In New York City nearly one in every four men between the ages of 25 and 44 -- one in four -- is infected with the disease. --Associated Press 5-23-90

 

Ministry to Terminally IllDavid Banner—the main character in the T.V. series “The Incredible Hulk”—in talking to a terminal cancer victim, told this story: “A man being chased by a tiger came to a cliff. In desperation he jumped and grabbed a solitary limb. Below him, a second tiger roared, waiting for his fall. Above him, the first tiger lashed out, barely missing its prey. As the branch suddenly began to pull away from the cliff, the helpless man noticed on the cliff in a patch of soil a single bright red strawberry on a lonely plant. Hanging there, he reached out, grabbed the fruit, and ate it. And, of, it tasted so good!”
