I remember one of the last Sunday’s that Alan Vail was in church. He sat in his wheelchair, stooped over, head bowed, his body racked with Parkinson’s. Speech was difficult, he’d lost most of his ability to control the movement of his arms and legs. I sat across from him, and as we sang a song

Remember the words of Thomas Jefferson? He said we were endowed with certain inalienable rights "among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." So maybe we don't have the right to be happy, but we certainly have the right to pursue happiness, don't we. Benjamin Franklin said
