"Sir, I have no man....."
Young people want to be trustworthy.
Everyday, kids go home and walk upon floors of fatherlessness.
"Sir, I have no man....."
They walk around cities and see new courthouses
and accept a season in jail as normal.
Maybe we should classify fatherlessness as a disability.
"Sir, I have no man....."
Some children are able to jump
into the waters of opportunity
as the tide of favorable circumstances
breaks upon the shore of their lives.
Some children need someone to help them.
"Sir, I have no man....."
We all need help sometimes.
The inability to help ourselves is a disability.
Teaching children is more
than a lecture and testing in a classroom.
Teaching children is more
about helping them climb the mountains of life.

3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

John 5:3-9
Even on the Sabbath
5 1-6 Soon another Feast came around and Jesus was back in Jerusalem. Near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem there was a pool, in Hebrew called Bethesda, with five alcoves. Hundreds of sick people—blind, crippled, paralyzed—were in these alcoves. One man had been an invalid there for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him stretched out by the pool and knew how long he had been there, he said, “Do you want to get well?”
7 The sick man said, “Sir, when the water is stirred, I don’t have anybody to put me in the pool. By the time I get there, somebody else is already in.”
8-9 Jesus said, “Get up, take your bedroll, start walking.” The man was healed on the spot. He picked up his bedroll and walked off.
