Matthew 18
1
What is it?
We need to pray.
We need to pray now.
No.
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done, on earth
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day
our daily bread,
and forgive us
our trespasses...
Angelica?
Veronica?
Michelle, turn that music down.
It's too loud.
I can't hear myself think.
That's what you got me for.
Michelle, please.
Mom, come on!
That was my song.
You can't hear your phone ring.
What are you...
Hey!
Michelle, you got another one.
Georgetown.
Angela, I'm gonna call you back.
You have applied at five.
Got accepted at all five.
I am so proud of you.
And now Georgetown.
Thanks, mom, but I actually
applied to four,
fifth one recruited me.
- Are you still trying to go to
Minneapolis for school?
- Yes, mom.
Why don't you wanna stay here?
In DC? Where you have family?
Look, they're only
offering me two years.
The University of Minnesota
offered me a full four year
pre-med scholarship.
None of the other schools have
even came close to that, mom.
Come on. They recruited me.
I didn't even apply there.
Aunt Jessie?
She's family.
go to Minnesota?
She got accepted
at Georgetown, Harris.
Well, Georgetown is
a great school.
I know, dad, but so is
the University of Minnesota.
And they have the best medical
Well, what's
Georgetown offering?
Georgetown? Two years.
Claire...
Minnesota, little bit lighter
on the pocket.
Leave it to Mr. Practicality.
Do you really want our daughter
to go away to college?
No, I don't want my daughter
to go away to college.
But you know what?
She's a big girl.
Besides, Aunt Jessie's there
and she thinks the world
of Michelle.
Where's she gonna stay?
Scholarship or no scholarship,
you know it's more expensive
to go to school out of state.
Besides, Jessie's little
apartment can barely hold her.
That's the only problem
right now.
That's the only problem
and let's just not think
about that for right now.
You know what?
Whatever our
li'l girl decides,
it's fine with me.
We're behind you, 100 percent.
Thanks, dad.
And you?
I guess.
Aw...
All right, well,
I'm gonna go upstairs
- Okay.
- Goodnight.
Good night.
Don't give me that look.
- Sleeping?
- No.
It seems like a lot is on
my li'l girl's mind.
What else is new?
What's up?
to Minneapolis to school?
Yes, yes, mom.
And the more that I think
about it, the more that
I want to go.
It's not that I don't want
to be near my family.
going away to college.
And the university is
a good school with full
four years scholarship.
- Yes.
- I know.
the perfect opportunity except
for this residency problem.
Decisions, decisions, decisions.
I think I can help
with that one.
How?
Well, I spoke to your
aunt Jessie this morning.
'cause I really didn't feel
it was necessary to
mention it to you.
But many years ago,
your great grandfather
was left a property.
And we own it with
another family.
And the last I heard,
the property was
difficult to rent.
And with the consent of
our family, the other owner
tried to sell the property.
And that didn't work out.
So, I had your aunt Jessie
go over there and talk to the
family's heir, Mrs. Hillshire,
and tell her about you
coming there to stay.
And she said you could
stay there as long as you
agree to pay the utilities.
- Really?
- Yes.
So just the utilities?
Uh, Michelle,
the utilities add up.
Gas and lights are not cheap.
Mom, I do pay my fair share
of utilities here.
What utilities?
Do credit card bills
count as utility?
Girl, no.
Just kidding.
Oh, my God!
I'm so excited!
Thank you!
- Understand...
- This is so great!
is 'cause I trust that you
will work just as hard there,
as you do here.
Of course.
And Michelle,
if you have any problems...
Hmm?
I mean any...
I need you to call.
And we'll get you back here
on the next flight.
Okay, mom. Thank you,
but I'm gonna be fine
anywhere that I go,
so you don't have to worry.
I promise.
I know you will.
I know you will.
Are you gonna see
your grandfather?
First thing in the morning.
That's my girl.
Hey, mom, you're gonna let
Michelle go away to college?
Hey, munchkin,
what do you...
That's what she wants
to do, baby girl.
You're gonna let me
go away to college?
We'll cross that bridge
when I get to it.
Don't you have school
in the morning?
Where you going, Michelle?
- Minneapolis.
- Minneapolis?
Minneapolis.
Hello?
Hey! How are you?
How's my favorite guy?
How you feeling?
Lemme check you out.
Blood pressure?
Holding and steady. 140/90.
Blood sugar?
Stabilizing at 190.
EKG readings within
normal limits?
Within normal limits.
Is that everything, Doctor?
Sorry.
Yes. Thanks, Anne.
Okay, I'll leave you to
your patient.
So how are you?
We miss you.
Why would you go and
have a stroke on us, huh?
All our walks in the park,
our chess matches.
Oh, by the way,
I'm still one up on you.
On our best of five series.
We still have so much
to do together.
And I know great granddad
moved the family around a lot,
but you've always been
the stabilizer for us.
So you have to
get better, okay?
Family needs you.
I need you.
Oh, um...
And I decided to
go away to college.
Got accepted by
the University of Minnesota.
Excited? I'm gonna miss you.
I need to stick him.
Checking his level?
- You got it.
- All right.
Grandpa, I gotta go.
I love you.
I'll see you soon, okay?
Okay, let's try and
make a fist, all right?
So you gonna be
good in school?
Do all your homework
and you can come stay
with me in college.
- There she is!
- Hi!
The college girl.
All right, you guys.
Aw, this is so nice.
Wait a minute. Oh!
Oh. Doctor, can you come
over here and help me?
I'm not a doctor yet,
aunt Liz.
Well, honey, can you at least
come over here and examine
this pain I'm having?
I'm just teasing with you, baby.
We're just all so proud of you.
Yeah!
to become a doctor.
Yes!
She's gonna come back
in a few years, y'all.
She gonna heal us all.
Now, now, Liz.
You know there's only one
that can heal, and that's
the Lord Almighty!
Amen.
Now my baby girl might be
the Lord's helper,
but when it's your time to go,
there's not a doctor on Earth
that can do anything about it.
That's right!
Yes, mom. But that does not
mean that we sit around
and wait for the Lord
to call our number.
The Lord did not mean
for us to neglect ourselves.
If you're sick,
you go to the doctor.
If the doctor can't do anything,
then you leave it in
the Lord's hands.
Yes.
A lot of people have died,
on their knees,
waiting for the Lord.
All they had to do was
use their feet and
