The unpredictability
of our lives and the miraculous power of prayers fill me with so much
excitement. There has been lots of gloomy news lately but then there are many
more wonderful things happening around.

For the last
nine months, my wife, Brooklyn has been pregnant with a very sick baby boy.
Back in the old days, hydrocephalus was called, "water on the
brain"....too much brain fluid. Ultimately, we were referred to the
Cincinnati Children's Hospital, where we were told, by several of the most
highly regarded fetal specialists in the country, that his condition was dire.
The baby's condition was "off the charts bad." It was so extreme, that
the specialists stopped measuring and monitoring his brain's fluid level
because, at that point, it didn't really matter. We were told, pointblank, that
there was over a 90% chance that the baby would either die shortly after birth
or have such severe cognitive impairments that any quality of life would be
hard to imagine.
Literally, 15 minutes before they wheeled her back to start the C-section, we had another meeting with doctors regarding the use of a breathing tube and at what point we might need to remove that tube and let the baby go to heaven. Guess what?. .The baby came out crying - which was the sweetest sound I have ever heard.
Somehow, his brain found a way to naturally "clear" the blockage or re-route the fluid that was causing the oppressive "back-up" of brain fluid. During the last week. I'm a practical person that certainly believes in science and medical technology, but I absolutely know, from the bottom of my heart, that God was involved in this. Prayer is positively powerful. God is real, and he still performs miracles.
God bless.

I actually said
Alleluia after reading this. How else do you want God to prove himself? I hope
this ministers to you like it did me. Whatever your situation is, please don’t give
up on God. He hears.
