Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause, and do not deceive with
your lips.
A week later DeVincenzo was told the woman had no sick baby and he had thus been tricked out
of his winnings. On hearing this, this gallant gentleman merely looked up and said, "You mean
there is no baby who is dying without hope? Why that's the best news I've heard all week!" I
believe that is the sort of thing Jesus would have said, don't you?
(Proverbs 24:28
NRSV)
I wish that every Christian could develop a spirit like Roberto DeVincenzo's. DeVincenzo, a
tough Argentine golfer, won a major tournament and was given a check for his winnings. After
the ceremonies, DeVincenzo walked alone to his car where he met a sad-eyed young lady. Slowly,
she walked up to him and said, "It's a happy day for you, but the doctors say my baby is dying of
an incurable blood disease." Before she could utter another word, the champion golfer took out a
pen, endorsed his winning check, and put it in the woman's hand, urging her to "make some good
days for the baby."
Dear Jesus, keep me in good spirts. Amen.
