Faith

I was recently given the opportunity to be in the presence of a man who inspired me, healed me, and gave me the gift of witnessing someone who was truly walking his path under the direction of God. Solomon Wickey is an Amish Iridologist and Herbalist who's approximately 80 years of age. His face is deeply wrinkled, but his eyes sparkle like Santa Claus'. Solomon's wit is sharp and he's sure to get a laugh, putting even the most leery at ease. Mr. Wickey's lifestyle is simple; he is Amish after all, and wears the typical black pants, blue shirt and full beard. His office is very spartan with walls, flooring and a desk all of raw wood. Shelves of herbs, oils, and tinctures line the wall behind his desk, one or more of which he may recommend.

Once tried in a court of law for practicing medicine, Mr. Wickey was exonerated of all charges. Unlike many traditional doctors, Solomon Wickey takes his time with each patient; waiting until their conce
s have all been addressed. So patient, yet constantly placing his hands upon your body while testing via muscle strength, Solomon is actually quite swift in completing his work. "Ok", he says in answer to your conce
s, meaning "I've already taken care of it". No longer than a few moments after stating your health conce
s, your healing is complete. This all leaves you sort of perplexed, wondering, "Is that it? I'm done?" A simple "Yep" is all you should expect from the humble Wickey.

Through decades of working with his God-given gift of healing, Mr. Wickey takes his ability as fact. He doesn't question if a healing has taken place, he knows it, which leaves me wondering why we all can't be so sure about our life's calling.
