County Council approves funding for Penn Center renovation project By Mindy Lucas Despite the concerns of at least one council member, Beaufort County Council has given preliminary approval to an ordinance that would increase and fund a major restoration and renovation project for Penn Center, on St. Helena Island. Council members voted to pass the ordinance, which would appropriate up to $822,000 for the project, on first reading at its Monday, Oct. 28 meeting. The funds would come from local accommodations taxes and would go toward Phase I of the construction project, which will include building repairs, improvements and upgrades to many of the center’s historic buildings. Council member Chris Hervochon raised concerns over the funding and a tax notice the center had received. The center received a letter from the S.C. Department of Revenue saying the center owed back taxes for some nine years, the center’s interim executive director Marion Burns said at the meeting. However, the center maintains it does not owe any taxes and has until Nov. 27 to formally respond to the letter, he said. “So we do not have a tax problem,” Burns said. York Glover, Sr. acknowledged past issues in the management of the center’s finances but said the funding of the construction project would be handled through the county’s normal procurement process. Funds, he noted, would be held by the county until it was time to pay contractors. “No money would go any place else other than those buildings,” he said. Glover went on to say that the center is taking strides to bring Penn into a new era to make sure Penn is on a solid foundation. “They are working with a very prominent foundation that’s doing their feasibili-
Decorated war veteran to celebrate 100th birthday

or Sgt. Major John Thomas “Tom” Collier, USMC, Retired, some of the memories are a little hazy. But he vividly remembers how cold it was in the Chosin Reservoir in 1952. “It was 31 or 32 below zero up there! I had to wear all the clothes I had … at the same time. We couldn’t have a fire, ‘cause the mortars would come in on ya.” And he remembers a time the mortars did come in on him. Tom jumped in his foxhole, his buddy jumped in on top of him, and miraculously, they both survived. Again, this was the Chosin Reservoir, Tom thinks ... Or maybe it was Guadalcanal? Before Korea, Tom served in World War II. He has a Bronze Star, a Good Conduct Medal, the Seventh Award, and an Expert Marksmanship Badge, Pistol Caliber. And those are just the medals he remembers. This month, along with November 11 – Veterans Day – Tom Collier is anticipating November 19, the day he’ll celebrate his 100th birthday. “I never thought I’d make it this far,” he laughs. His secret? “I stayed out of trouble.”

Tom Collier
There’s a twinkle in his eye with that answer, so we try a more somber question. “Tom, how did you survive two wars when so many were dying around you?” “Luck, I guess,” he replies. “Wasn’t no skill to it.” Again with the twinkle. Tom grew up in Eastover, S.C., where he was an avid tennis player as a boy. After high school, he made his way to the Lowcountry to work in the CCC Camp at Hunting Island. “Digging up tree stumps for something like $1 a day,” he says. “They were getting us ready for the war, but we didn’t know it.” Next thing he knew, Tom was at boot camp on Parris Island. The year was 1940. Tom’s military career spanned

24 years and two wars, and it ended where it started. In 1964, he retired from the Marine Corps after having served on Parris Island for a second time. The second stint was better than the first. One of his memories from that period is of accompanying Vice President Richard Nixon, who was visiting PI, on a cruise on the USS Sequoia. During his military career, Tom and his first wife lived in a mobile home, driving it from one assignment to the next. When he ended
up at Parris Island the second time, it was the first time he’d really seen Beaufort up close. It seemed like a nice enough place to put down roots. So when he retired, Tom built a house on the water – “I bought this lot for $3,000,” he says – and he’s lived in that house since 1967. After retirement, he worked for a lumber company for a while. He also bought a boat and tried his hand at shrimping.

Sheriff ’s Office investigating death of Beaufort teen found at boat landing By Mindy Lucas Investigators with the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Department are looking for answers in the suspicious death of a Beaufort teenager whose body was found at a nearby boat landing. Marcus Graves, 16, of Beaufort was found at Grays
Hill Landing, at 8:50 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 1, according to Beaufort County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Maj. Bob Bromage. Graves was last seen around 10 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 31, according to Bromage, and had been reported by his family as a runaway.

The sheriff’s office and Beaufort County Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene, at the end of Clarendon Road, west of S.C. Highway 21, after area fishermen discovered what they described as an unresponsive body in the marsh. Graves was pronounced
dead by EMS personnel at the scene. A junior at Battery Creek High School, Graves was described as “a free spirit who had a passion for music and an infectious smile,” in a letter sent home to parents from the school’s principal Chad Cox Friday afternoon.

Wild turkey harvest in SC down slightly last spring
Approximately 50,000 turkey hunters take to the woods annually in South Carolina with hopes of harvesting a wily gobbler, and the 2019 spring turkey season was no exception. With an estimated harvest 15,783 adult gobblers and 1,591 jakes for a total of 17,374 birds, the spring turkey harvest was down a little over 3 percent from 2018. Legislative changes that went into effect in 2016 provided an earlier starting date and increased number of days in the turkey season in 34 of 46 South Carolina counties. The effect of this season change was a 50 percent increase in opportunity (days) for the majority (74 percent) of the state. Although the harvest was up a combined 24 percent the first two years of the new framework, it has been down 10 percent the last two years.

NEWS & HEALTH
What is shingles and how does it affect the eyes?
S
hingles is a painful red rash with blisters that break open and then scab over. It is caused by the herpes zoster virus. This is the same virus that causes chicken pox. After you have had chicken pox, the virus stays in your body’s nerve cells. It may remain dormant and you will not have any symptoms. But sometimes the virus becomes active again and causes new problems. Herpes zoster can become active again as you get older, particularly older than age 50. This can be due to your body’s natural aging process. Or it can be due to anything that weakens your immune system, including illness or
DR. MARK SIEGEL
disease (such as HIV or other diseases of the immune system), fatigue or exhaustion, stress or anxiety, poor nutrition, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and certain medicines that suppress your immune system, such as corticosteroids or cyclosporins. Avoid spreading the shingles virus Herpes zoster can be
contagious. But it can only be passed to others who have not had chicken pox. Someone newly infected with the herpes zoster virus will then develop chicken pox, not shingles. If you have shingles, avoid being around people who may be more easily infected. This includes infants, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems. Shingles starts with pain, itching and tingling of the skin. Redness and numbness leads to a rash. Blisters form, then they break open and scab over. The blisters and scabs can last a few weeks. The pain and tingling can last much longer, though it is rarely permanent.
Beaufort Memorial offers two free joint pain seminars More than 25 million Americans experience some level of joint discomfort. But there are available solutions. Beaufort Memorial Physical Therapist and Orthopedic Care Coordinator Andrea Sadler is hosting a free joint pain seminar this month. The hour-long class will be held in Room 364 at the Beaufort Memorial Medical and Administrative Center, 990 Ribaut Road (directly across the street from the hospital). Attendees can choose between the sessions scheduled for 11 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19 or 2 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 21. Sadler will discuss joint anatomy and symptoms of joint-related problems and will provide information about treatments to relieve or resolve pain that can be personalized for specific needs.
Options include in-home exercises, medical management, physical therapy, as well as surgery. There will also be an opportunity for questions and answers.
How does shingles affect the eye? If the herpes zoster virus infects the nerves of the eye, it can cause problems. Those problems can include a rash on both your upper and lower eyelids; redness, burning, and oozing on the inside of your eyelids and white part of your eye – this is known as pink eye or conjunctivitis; dry eye; the risk of bacterial eye infections; blurry vision and extra sensitivity to bright light; pain, swelling, and redness inside your eye (called iritis); swelling of the optic nerve behind your eye (called optic neuritis); and a breakdown of the surface of the cornea. When shingles affects
the eye, you are at risk for more severe problems. These include glaucoma, cataracts, double vision and scarring of the cornea. Treatment will focus on relieving the rash, swelling and pain of shingles. It may include oral medicine called an antiviral – you should take this immediately after you notice symptoms. Antivirals can shorten the length and severity of a shingles rash. Other treatments include placing cool, moist compresses over your closed eyes for relief; taking certain medicines to help reduce redness, relieve pain, and treat the virus; or using eye drops to fight infection or moisten your eyes. If shingles has caused
glaucoma, cataracts, double vision or eye scarring, other treatments are necessary. Your ophthalmologist will discuss surgery or other types of medicine if they are recommended. The shingles vaccine A shingles vaccine called Shingrix is recommended for people 50 years and older. This vaccine lowers the risk of getting painful shingles. But the shingles vaccine does not treat active shingles or pain that has developed after the rash is gone. Talk with your doctor about this vaccine and if it is recommended for you. Dr. Mark S. Siegel is the Medical Director at Sea Island Ophthalmology, LLC. Visit www.seaislandophthalmology.com for more.

“I wasn’t too good at that,” he laughs. “As a buddy of mine said when he tried shrimping, ‘It was a big tax break … but I wasn’t looking for a tax break.’” The memories may be blurry, but the humor is sharp. Though his Marine Corps career took him all over the world, after retirement Tom spent most of his travel and leisure
time in his favorite place – Disney World. Until recently, he’d go three or four times a year, always by train. Tom doesn’t fly anymore. “I used to fly everywhere I went,” he says, “but too many planes went down.” These days, Tom enjoys a simple life, sitting in his backyard, looking at the water, “just living.” He and a pal have a standing lunch date at IHOP every Tuesday, and his grown stepchildren visit regularly. Otherwise, he’s got his five cats to keep him company, along with Helen, his wife of 23 years.
“I wouldn’t have made it this far if it hadn’t been for her,” he says, in a rare moment of serious reflection. Looking back on his life, Tom is philosophical. “I wouldn’t do anything different,” he says. “It’s been a good life. I went all the places I wanted to go. I did everything I wanted to do.” We should all be so lucky. Thank you for your service, Sgt. Major Collier. And Happy Birthday.

ty study and management plan,” he said. “However the buildings are there and the buildings need help.” Council chairman Stu Rodman said he was in favor of approving the funding because the center needed “a fair amount of work” and the longer the county delays, the more it would cost to restore them, he said. “And I think as that is done, it will help them increase the number of visitors that are coming, so it’s a good investment,” he said. The ordinance passed 10-1 with Hervochon voting against it.

Beaufort County women bridge the agriculture gap Beaufort County residents Anna Ackerman, Melinda Ackerman, Meghan Barkley, Beverly Brown, April Busby, Abigale Hansen, Laura Hansen and Sandra Simmons joined more than 100 women from across the state in North Charleston on October 14 and 15 for the S.C. Farm Bureau Federation’s (SCFB) annual Women’s Leadership Conference. The group of women learned how to bridge the knowledge gap those in agriculture face as they gathered in Aiken this week. They participated in workshops that showcased local agriculture, offered personal development and provided tools to promote agriculture in
their counties. Farm Bureau Women at county, state and national levels coordinate agricultural education and promotional activities. Their work includes supporting important legislation for family farmers, youth programs, educational activities, leadership development and commodity promotions. “Farm Bureau women work hard to advance agriculture in South Carolina,” said Agricultural Literacy and Women’s Program director, Elizabeth Wood. “Their knowledge of and interest in family farms contributes so much to the organization, as they work for the future success of agriculture in our state.”

By Bob Sofaly The Port Royal Sound Maritime Center hosted famous scientist, explorer and oceangrapher Robert Ballard, 77, to speak Saturday, October 19 at John Paul II Catholic School. Ballard is known for his work in underwater archaeology, specifically his discovery and exploration of the wreckage of the RMS Titanic. Ballard told the audience to stay focused in school and do their “mental pushups” to keep their
brains healthy to meet the challenges of the future. Ballard also described the feeling he got when he saw the portholes of the RMS Titanic for the first time. “It was like all those eyes looking back at me. Kind of eerie”, he said. His current project, funded by the National Geographic Society, is searching for Amelia Earhart’s lost Lockheed Electra 10-E. Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan

Eagles surge in 2nd half, clinch region crown
After a sloppy first half, Beaufort High scored 24 unanswered points in the second half Friday to claim a 31-21 victory at Colleton County and clinch the Region 7-4A title. James Dagin scored two second-half touchdowns, including an eye-popping 44-yard run with 2:48 left to clinch the win, as the Eagles completed their remarkable turnaround from an 0-5 start to a region championship in Bryce Lybrand’s first season as head coach. “Just really proud of these
kids and assistant coaches for sticking with each other when things were hard,” Lybrand said. “Whether it was earlier in the season or tonight, they just keep fighting, and that’s a great life lesson for these kids.” The Eagles tied it at 7 on Daniel Phares’ 7-yard touchdown pass to Rhogue Wallace in the first quarter, but a pair of first-half turnovers helped Colleton County take a 21-7 halftime lead. Braden Sarathy’s 20-yard field goal opened the second-half
scoring to pull the Eagles within 21-10, and Dagin and Phares each added a third-quarter rushing touchdown to give Beaufort a 24-21 lead going to the fourth. The Cougars had a chance to tie it but missed a 30-yard field goal try, and Dagin broke away from multiple tackles on his 44yard scamper to seal the win the region crown. Beaufort (4-5, 3-0) received a first-round bye in the Class 4A playoffs and will host the Hartsville-South Aiken winner in the second round Nov. 15.

Warriors rout Dolphins in rivalry rematch After squeaking out a win in a season-opening meeting, Whale Branch left no doubt in the rematch with crosstown rival Battery Creek on Friday. De’Arius Hazel rushed for 93 yards and two touchdowns before leaving with a broken leg, and Jaylen Reeves threw a touchdown pass and ran for another score to lead the Warriors to a 38-0 home victory in the
regular-season finale. Hazel had touchdown runs of 8 and 12 yards in the first half before his season-ending injury, Reeves hit Jaden Jenkins for a 20-yard touchdown pass, and Henry Tome added field goals of 34 and 35 yards to give Whale Branch a 25-0 halftime lead. JacQuez Frazier added a 45-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, and Reeves tacked on a 1-yard TD run in
the fourth. Joseph Hicks rushed for 101 yards on 12 carries, and Frazier made 12 tackles to lead a dominant defensive effort for the Warriors, who allowed only six first downs. Whale Branch (6-3) travels to Philip Simmons to open the Class 2A playoffs Friday, while Battery Creek (3-5) travels to Strom Thurmond for the first round of the Class 3A playoffs.

Three local teams ready for football playoffs
The high school football playoff brackets are set, and three Northern Beaufort County teams are ready to embark on their quests for a state championship. Region 7-4A champion Beaufort
High (4-5) received a first-round bye and will host the Hartsville-South Aiken winner in the second round Nov. 15. The Eagles have won four straight following an 0-5 start. In the Class 3A bracket, Battery
Creek (3-5) travels to Strom Thurmond for a first-round matchup. Whale Branch (6-3) is the No. 4 seed out of the powerful Region 5-2A, but the Warriors caught a break with undefeated Oceanside Collegiate Acad-
emy being forced to forfeit two region games, dropping the Landsharks in the seeding. Instead of traveling to Timberland on Friday, the Warriors will now play at Philip Simmons — a team they beat 36-9 on Sept. 27.
BA ends season on high note
Beaufort Academy closed out its season with an impressive showing Friday, routing visiting Patrick Henry 59-12. Dawson Coleman threw four touchdown passes — three to William Tumlin — and Jacob Union rushed 11 times for 152 yards and two TDs to lead the Eagles’ offensive outburst. Elijah Fess added a rushing touchdown and caught a TD pass, and Jaxen Porter and Devonte Green each added a rushing score. Malakai Steiniger led BA with eight tackles, Braydon Dineen added six tackles and forced and recovered a fumble, and Jackson Davis and Ben Lubkin each had an interception. BA (3-6, 3-4) finished fifth in the region standings, missing out on a playoff spot.

Beaufort County seniors’ ACT scores increase slightly, top statewide average
Beaufort County School District high school seniors in the Class of 2019 improved their performance on ACT college entrance exam, according to results released Oct. 30. District seniors’ scores were slightly higher than South Carolina’s state average. The composite 2019 ACT average score for 1,226 Beaufort County School District seniors was 18.7, up from 18.6 last year. Beaufort County seniors’ average score was slightly higher than the state’s average for 33,834 seniors, which was 18.6. Beaufort County School District averages were high-
er than state public school averages in three of the four individual ACT exams used to determine composite scores. Beaufort County School District seniors’ average scores on individual ACT exams were 17.7 (state average 17.5) in English; 18.6 (state average 18.5) in Math; 19.0 (state average 19.0) in Reading; and 18.8 (state average 18.7) in Science. Beaufort County seniors’ average ACT score ranked 11th out of 82 districts statewide, the same ranking as last year. The ACT is a group of curriculum-based achievement exams designed to measure
the academic skills taught in schools and deemed important for success in first-year college courses. Scores range from a low of one to a high of 36. “While our ACT composite average is above the state average of 18.6, we’re below the national average of 20.7,” Superintendent Frank Rodriguez said in a release. “We need to make sure high school students who want to attend college take the right academic courses. Students who do that will have a much greater chance of success on college entrance exams, and also in college.”

W
hen I entered The Citadel in August of 1963, there was not one spoken or written word of dissent about the war in Vietnam. When I graduated in the spring of 1967, there were protests, candle-lit marches and widespread anger from those who might be drafted. When I got to law school in 1967, the Mall in Washington was the scene of anti-war demonstrations that completely eclipsed earlier gatherings supporting civil rights or the environment. By 1968, Bobby Kennedy, Eugene McCarthy, Martin Luther King and Muhammad Ali had weighed in on the war, saying it was wrong, unwise, not winnable. But in fact, the pitched battles — Hue and Tet — were won. Much of the Vietnamese countryside had been secured. But Lyndon Johnson was desperate for a decisive victory, and obsessed with

getting his boys back home. The boys who survived their “tour” were not coming home to acclaim or parades. They had been sullied by William Calley and the 28 civilians killed at My Lai in March of 1968. They were greeted by a public that believed most of the returnees were as guilty as Calley. This was, in my opinion, the first fracturing of the Baby Boomer Generation — my generation. After Vietnam Boomers were presented with the amorality of Richard Nixon, the ineffectiveness of Jimmy Carter, the manufactured sunshine of Ronald Reagan.
All the while, the fracturing that came out of Vietnam remained in place. Eventually Bill Clinton — the first Boomer President — got himself elected knowing that his generation was divided. When he ran for re-election he sought a “Third Way,” hoping to recapture the Boomers who were less liberal — who had moved from their aspirational youth into middle-aged pessimism. Lance Morrow, a columnist who writes for the Wall Street Journal, believes that the “Boomers put off, for almost a lifetime, the intragenerational struggle that finally emerged in 2016.” He says that until 2016, the division in this huge generational cohort, was hidden from view. But it came into full view in 2016 when Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump squared-off. “As they approached the end of their story in the
2010s, it made sense that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton (Boomer twins and opposites) would be the 2016 presidential nominees — or it made as much sense as the obsessive chic of transgenderism, or discretionary pronouns, or tattoos, or Bob Dylan as a Nobel laureate.” (During the primaries I had been warned—my friend Tom Davis told me that Trump had was likely to win. My wife also worried about the forthcoming election; but I said to her, “I know this country; there is simply no way Trump will win this election.”) Lance Morrow believes that Trump’s appeal is similar to the appeal of Don Corleone of “Godfather” fame — in spite of our better angels, we are attracted to this grenade-throwing realtor and his contempt for the police commissioner and Members of Congress. But I also believe his
victory had a lot to do with the internecine warfare that started earlier — first involving those who went (to Vietnam) versus those who dodged or marched on the Mall. When it comes to Vietnam, there are Boomers who will go to their graves believing that the war in Vietnam was wrong. And there are those who believe this was a winnable war, screwed up “by the bureaucrats in Washington.” Morrow says there is another characteristic of the Boomer Generation — we are self-righteous and smug. “Their overwhelming numbers have ensured that as they pass through history, they remain snug in a cloud of their collective self-regard. They generate their own publicity, they affirm its truth by believing it. The narcissist is his own best customer.” I know this fracturing business is simplistic; but I believe the Boomers were di-
vided into two camps in 1968 and that wound never properly healed. (What is strange, perplexing, is the fact that Trump did the dodging routine when the U.S. Army came calling. But that doesn’t bother the “Boomers who fought” faction. They remain a part of his coalition.) And as the Boomers die and their impact diminishes, the formula for winning the 2020 Presidential race has also changed. These days there seem to be four or five states — Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, etc., — where there are “persuadables.” These voters can go either way and were, apparently identified by Facebook and targeted by Cambridge Analytica in 2016. This, the pundits say, is where the 2020 election will be won or lost. Scott Graber is a lawyer, novelist, veteran columnist and longtime resident of Port Royal.

Happy HallowThankMas to all, and to all a good night!
Y
es, it is that time of year! Over the course of 56 days, we have three major holidays: Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas; and for me, they are all running into each other. (My Jewish friends will forgive me for not including their eight days of Hanukkah in December.) This is all about my HallowThankMas. Here is the problem. Currently, there is a collection of Halloween decorations in the living room. There are the ceramic pumpkins, the orange candles, and a stuffed witch and stuffed scarecrow. There

is also an orange pumpkin on the front steps. Then there is the Thanksgiving runner on the dining room table with two ceramic turkeys. The decorations were all in the same container, so I just took them out. When my spouse walked
into the house and smelled the bayberry candle burning in the kitchen, he was very confused. “Why is the Christmas candle burning?” Truthfully, I had spotted the candle in the pantry, and it was almost completely gone. I just wanted to get rid of it and reuse the glass container. But that is when the three holidays officially collided in my house. “Welcome to HallowThankMas!” I said. But it’s not just at the Scott home that you will find this phenomenon. Go into any store now and you will see what I mean.
The grocery store has a bin with Halloween candy on sale including my favorite candy corn. Then there is a sign up for “order your fresh Thanksgiving turkey now,” and there are Christmas decorations for sale in the aisle that normally has beach toys. Another store where you will see this merger is the local hobby store. There are whole aisles dedicated to Thanksgiving and Christmas right now with the Halloween decorations discounted heavily. I do understand that people, who are making gifts for Christmas bazaars, need to buy items early, but when I
still have my Halloween decorations hanging on my front porch, it unnerves me. And now there is a vacant lot on Sea Island Parkway getting set up to sell Christmas trees. “Wait!” I still need to pull down the skeleton lights and put up some pilgrim lights for Thanksgiving. Then there are only 27 days between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year to decorate the house. My spouse is totally unsympathetic with my HallowThankMas dilemma. He believes that we have spent years decorating our house(s) for children and grandchildren and it is time to stop.
“How about some generic white candles for each of the holidays?” He asked. Then I reminded him of the Christmas tree lights he puts on our dock every year and the Santa and Reindeer he likes to put in the yard. “Never mind,” he says. “Happy HallowThankMas to all, and to all a good night!”.

“Rise and Walk!” Jesus Forgives Sins
A paralyzed man is lowered through a roof! Hoping for a cure, four men carry their friend on a stretcher to see Jesus. When they arrive at the house where Jesus is, they are unable to enter due to the crowd. Undeterred, the men climb onto the flat roof of the house, remove the ceiling tiles, and lower their friend before Jesus. “And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, ‘My son, your sins are forgiven.’” The crowd is astonished at these words of Jesus. In the Jewish understanding, only God can forgive sins, since sins are offenses against God. By claiming authority to forgive sins, Jesus is acting as if he were the one true God. This is a serious act of blasphemy, a sin punishable by death in the Jewish law. Accordingly, members of the crowd begin to ask, “Why does this man speak thus? It is blasphemy! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
The crowd understands that Jesus is acting as if he were God. If this was not his intention, we would expect Jesus to clear up the misunderstanding. Instead, he goes further, asking, “Why do you question thus in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise, take up your pallet and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he said to the paralyzed man, “I say to you, rise, take up your stretcher and go home.” Will the paralytic rise and walk again? Jesus intends to show that he, the Son of Man, does indeed have authority to forgive sins. Anyone can utter words of forgiveness, but not just anyone can cause a paralytic to be instantly healed. To show he can heal invisible wounds of the soul, he will bring about a visible healing of the body. And to everyone’s astonishment, the paralytic immediately rose, picked up the stretcher, and walked away in front of them all! They were all amazed and praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!” (Mark 2:1-12) Jesus is gently inviting his listeners to believe in him. He cannot simply walk around and exclaim to everyone, “I am God!” This would have led to people immediately rejecting him and seeking his death for blasphemy. Instead, in a careful and indirect manner, Jesus helps them see that he is able to forgive sins, even though this is something only God can do. He is inviting them to come to the unimaginable conclusion: Jesus can forgive sins because he is actually God standing in their midst. Jesus came to bring us forgiveness and union with God. The paralytic’s friends want a physical healing, but Jesus offers a gift that is much more important. Paralysis keeps their friend from walking, but sin keeps their friend from eternal union with God. Jesus sought to bring about reconciliation between humanity and God. The people of his day desperately needed forgiveness for their sins and union with God, and we still need this spiritual healing today.
