Miracles Do Happen
Ever decide to do something at the last minute, like an unplanned errand or something simple like that, and find yourself in a set of circumstances that just feels like God had planned it all along?
Last Friday was like that. Went to my Church to reserve a booth for the September Women’s Expo, and ran into Kim, the wife of Ralph, who selflessly lead our Men’s & Women’s Emmaus groups.
Kim and Ralph have a niece in Miami. And Bella is a miracle. The only person ever, in the history of the world to survive a very rare form of cancer.
Kim had in her hand one of only three copies of Bella’s book, “Why (Not) Me?”
With 180,000 books written each year and 80-million blogs and growing, not to mention Facebook, texting, email, jobs, news channels, You Tube……
Selling a book is next to impossible. All proceeds from this go to cancer research, so selling lots is important. Not to mention the hope and support this offers to others facing their cancer battles.
Bella’s video made me cry.

Failure Knocks Us Down
We are treasures in the arms of Jesus.
We don’t have to carry the weight of who we’ve been.
We’re forgiven.
Never get bored with the basics, people.
Never.

Service Is The Rent We Pay
Service is the rent we pay for our time here on Earth. — Mohammed Ali
Two days ago (I don’t make this up), I was driving home and stopped at the Disney University where Walt Disney World conducts Cast Member training. My friend Bob is from Verona, New Jersey and he works there. He went to school with Scott Chesney. Bob told me I needed to watch this You Tube video (51 min). Now I’m suggesting the same to you.
Scott woke up, at 15, while going to High School with Bob, and his toe was numb. Within two days, he was paralyzed from the waist down. At the time, major colleges were recruiting Scott for football and basketball, and Scott was only a sophomore. Listen how (25 years later) he inspires people to stop putting things off and overcome your fears:
