Series: Oklahoma Ardmore CFO 1957

Where the Nurses Had No Time

Cliff Richmond cites a documentary about a foundling home where infants had every material comfort and still sickened, many of them dying, because the nurses had no time to hold them. He then works through the Greek words for love. Let Jesus love you into loving, he urges the Oklahoma Ardmore CFO in 1957.

Blessing the Telephone Instead

Cliff Richmond describes cursing a ringing telephone for years, until he learned to answer it with “thank you, Jesus,” turning the frustration itself into praise. At the Oklahoma Ardmore CFO in 1957 he carries the same reframing into resentment and loneliness.
