>My “book-boy” Matthew One survived reconstructive surgery. He is resting comfortably, but I will wake him today for a couple of injections.

Barring a relapse, he will leave the hospital today or tomorrow. Then it won’t be long before I send him off on a cyberspace wing and a prayer to his big city audition.

He has matured and his coordination has improved. He sings well at times.

Even though he’s not perfect, I wouldn’t be totally embarassed to see him perform. And God is great; who know what he chooses to do with Matthew?
