    Dr Paul has served the people of Dominica well. He had many choices yet he chose to be a humble that is why the love he is showered by all is in appreciation of his work.
    No longer is someone suffering from a stroke ask to lie in bed or are they suppose to give up on living. Today they are suppose to exercise and keep themselves active. He knew what was good for him though some people did not understand. He is still the Doc.

    I am happy the doctor and his daughter are alive because it could have been a very sad day in Dominica today. Just last night I heard so many patriots showering flowers on the good doctor and to hear this news less than 24 hrs ago was very sad. That’s why we must always stay prayed up and ready because we just don’t know when that evil day will be.

    Father God your word declares that you were bruised for our iniquities and wounded for our transgressions and by your stripes we are healed. I claim life and healing for Doctor Paul right now in the name of Jesus. Save him Lord and give him a testimony that would glorify you. And if he does not yet know you as his personal Lord and Saviour, I pray that he will come to realize that there is only one true God who saves. In Jesus Might Name I pray.
