JIm - When you mentioned "Mike Bickle" that brought up goose-bumps and then teary eyes.  I was playing high school football many years ago when we got word that Mike Bickle's brother, Pat, had broken his neck in a football game and was paralyzed from the neck down.  I remember our whole football team holding him up in prayer the whole rest of the season.  It wasn't like the coaches were being religious by continuing to have prayers for him and his family, or having us pray silently for him.  It was just normal and even expected in showing compassion for others and their families in their time of grief.  And of course it hit home that it could have easily been one of us that had been paralyzed.   I found the following which tells a more complete story of Pat Bickle and family.
