The Boat
A man was asked to paint a boat. He brought his paint and brushes and
began to paint the boat a bright red, as the owner asked him. While
painting, he noticed a small hole in the hull, and quietly repaired it. When
he finished painting, he received his money and left.
The next day, the owner of the boat came to the painter and presented him
with a nice check, much higher than the payment for painting. The painter

PREDISPOSITION

(By Joe R. Price)
Hospice care is designed to ease physical pain and suffering as death nears. It is a helpful service that offers dignity, palliative care, and comfort to the person approaching death, as well as their families.
