Here are a Few Inconvenient Miracles

Inconvenient because they are not what most pastors preach about and they are not easily found in a surface reading of scripture (which unfortunately is the only kind most evangelical preachers will allow.)

Meet David C., Josh H. , and David W.
We are trying to get David W.'s art out to where people can see it. I thank these Dave's and one more Dave (another fellow with a heart of gold who also knows what it means to suffer as an outsider who has recently joined our cadre), a delightful young lady named Sarah who is dealing with an acquired physical disability and who is championing the cause of disabled people everywhere (she was a teacher's aid working with challenged children when she was injured in a car accident) and Irene the faithful one who came to the R2E meetings for a full year while it was just her and me against the able-bodied (her legs began to give out several years ago. She is confined to a wheelchair that she rebels against regularily as she is trusting for her healing. Also could you pray for her hearing it is going and this bothers Irene greatly.)
These inconvenient miracles aren't encouraged to give testimony yet because what they represent isn't understood or appreciated in our current environment but we hope it will be someday (pray for hearts and minds to be opened. Perhaps that will be the miracle that will let me believe in miracles in a bigger way.)
