Many of us from time to time have encountered miracles of the first order. Yet sometimes we might not even recognize them as such. One of the things I found almost hypnotic about this story is that she learned to pray as a young girl even though no one ever taught her. That strikes me as God choosing his agent and gloriously.

From the view of a sports fan I enjoyed the story of the time she had the motivation and dispatched Ms. King.

Happiness comes from giving. Selfishness leads to unhappiness, because all your wanting will never be satisfied.

I rejoice for Andrea and how God has lead her to the fulfillment of her dreams.

What a great story!

That looks like quite a nice movie, which I haven’t yet seen. Thanks very much for the recommendation!
