Rapid Response

It is seldom that people specifically ask a minister to visit someone. I think that, generally speaking, they respect the minister's busy schedule. But when they do ask -- even when they do not explain themselves -- I assume that there is good reason to respond, and I respond as soon as I can. Often I have found that there was more to such requests than people were letting on. OBSERVATION: And related to this, without even being asked, I make a special effort to get to someone where I sense that there is any chance of death or disaster or trauma, even where my clues are slim. Many times, I have been thankful that I did.
