This blog is going to be outside my norm, but I believe you'll find it veeeeery interesting.

In 1964 my great grandfater became a little more known to the world after the state of Washington attempted to sue him, for what they called "practicing without a license ". My grandpa, often discribed as being gifted in the same ways as the 12 disciples, was a healer. ... and all he used was his hands.

Intrigued by the story, a man by the name of Paul Foght followed and recoreded the story of my grandpas court case against the state of Washington. It was later published in a what was known as Fate Magazine(book?), which is no longer in print, but Ive included the article below.

NOTE: The whole case in its entirety can be found in the public records of the Seattle court house, in Washington State.

In the same little town I grew up in, tucked alongside the Cascade Mountain range in WA, my great grandpa Henry Nye Berkebile worked a full time job to support his family. On top of that full time job my grandpa also dedicated his time to helping others, in an unordinary, yet extraordinary way. My grandma Helen (his daughter) once discribed to me to what extent my great grandpa would go to help all those in need. She explained how, everyday after he would return home from his 9-5, he would be greeted by a line of people waiting for his healing hands. "From the front door of our house she said, the line would start, and then wrap all around it.". She explained how he refused to go to bed until he had helped every last person. " ...and not once did he expect nor ask for any kind of payment."

Here is the story writen by Paul Foght:
