    “Who’s the charming cowgirl, Jim?” Jackie asked.

    “This is Rhasha,” Jim said. “Isn’t she beautiful?”

    “I’ll say,” Jackie replied, “but what happened?”

    “Well Jackie, do you remember how God healed your car?”

    Jackie nodded.

    “Strange thing, Jackie. It turns out, he can heal people, too.” Jim and Rhasha smiled as Jackie chuckled.

    “Oh,” Jackie said. “I was talking about her mental condition.”

    Rhasha tried to kick him, but he was too far away. Jackie didn’t seem surprised that Rhasha was healed. He knew what God could do.

    “Let’s go into the dining hall to eat,” Jim suggested. “This bag of bones is getting heavy.”

    Rhasha threw her right arm up in the air as she held on with the other. “Yahoo!” she yelled. “Let’s go.”

    Jackie walked beside Jim and Rhasha as they entered the dining hall. Rhasha was still on Jim’s shoulders. Her parents and brother had finished eating and were getting ready to leave. When they saw Rhasha jumping up and down on Jim’s back, they all laughed.

    “This is my horsy,” Rhasha said, “and I’m breaking him in.”
