This story of a miracle is not about me. It's the story of a miracle for the people of Maui.

I have mentioned Eric West and his videos on the Maui thread. This miracle includes him but is not specifically about him. A California Christian woman was watching the devastation and heartbreak of what happened there and was impressed by God she needed to help as so many people have been killed and so many put out of work on the west end of Maui. So she went to her church and told them what she wanted to do. They agreed and provided money for travel expenses and lodging. On her way to Maui she received a link to a video by West from a friend of hers but didn't watch it at the time. She watched it after she got to Maui

When she got to Maui she had no idea as to who to contact so she was driving around looking for dome place to start. She saw a man out mowing the grass and was impressed to stop. He turned out to be a community leader and he thought her idea of coming to help and fund raise was an excellent idea. The talked for a e while and then she left. The next day she was out driving again and was again impressed to stop even though the same guy wasn't there. She turned around and wen't back and found out the guy was the son of the guy she had talked to the day before.

It turns out Eric West was there shooting a video with the son She saw him and was delighted. He ended up doing two interviews that day. It helped her get started fundraising.

The cost there for a funeral there are incredible. It's $8 to $10 thousand minimum. So you can see why people who have lost everything can't afford to bury their dead. The only mortuary there is a corporate one and refuses to negotiate on the costs. So these people need all the help they can get. West has set up a site on which people can donate and all the money except for some costs for an auditor and a bookkeeper go to the victims of the fires.. Here is the link.

This turns out to be an account set up by one of West's sons.

I have a story today from back in the late 70s. It's about my miracle dog, Toby. I had gone down to the MiltonFreewater, Or. church to play softball that day as there was quite a bunch of us who did once a week. We had been playing for quite a while and decided to take a break.

Toby was a fetch dog. In fact he was a fetching fool. He absolutely loved playing fetch. He'd chase a stick, a frisbee, or a ball until your arm would fall off. One of the guys who showed up every week came over and asked me if he could hit the ball rather than throw it as he could hit farther than he could throw. Without any thought I said yes. Well, he tossed the ball up and as soon as he did Toby jumped to catch it. The guy hit him in the head with a full swing of an aluminum bat. Toby went out like light. I could see he was alive because I could see him breathing. It took him quite a while to come around, but before he did I got to thinking that he would never be the same again after that kind of injury and I decided I would put him out of his misery before he woke up.

I had borrowed a friend's .44 magnum pistol the day before as someone woke me up two nights before pounding on the wall of my bedroom with a club. I had figured I would go outside if they came back and put a hole in their engine block. So I had that pistol in my pickup. I went and got it and attempted to cock it as it was a single action revolver. I couldn't cock that pistol for the life of me, and I tried hard.

God knew I needed my buddy as I had no close friends. You can't when you're abused the way I was as you're positive you're so worthless nobody would like you if they really knew you. I've known the guy ever since high school and that gun has never not worked again. God worked a miracle to save Toby's life as He knew I needed him. It brings tears to my eyes as I write this thinking of how much God loves a sinful human being like me.

I have another story of God working in my life. I don't think this qualifies as a miracle but it definitely shows God's leading.

I post a lot on Christian forums. I was posting yesterday and things just kept coming to mind as I was typing that fit with what I was going to say, but were much better than my original thought and I didn't even have to modify the sentence I was typing. To me that shows God is leading me in a very special way right now as I've never had this happen before. and I've been posting on a lot of forums for a couple of decades.

I have another miracle to report. It happened right here on this forum,. I posted a link to Eric West's video on directed energy weapons and the link works. Those of you who have tried posting links to you tube videos know it just doesn't work with this software.

All I can say is God is working miracles today to help people, all people, so people understand what is coming upon this world. Someone here really needed to see that video whether they are a member here or just lurk God worked that miracle for whoever it is, not for me.

I have another story for you. This is a story about the power of prayer.

One of my brother in laws has a son that has not been a Christian for a long time. He's single, over 40, and been a heavy drug user and dealer in drugs up to as couple of months ago. My wife and I both put him on our prayer lists at that time. In the last couple of months his act has completely changed. He's no longer using drugs, speed as he used to stay awake for a couple of days at a time and was a thief so he could support his addiction, and is now thinking about coming back to church.

His character transformation is astounding as he has been a people user a manipulator for a looong time. Yesterday he came into town and dropped off our food box from the church and stood and talked for a while. He's never done anything like that and has been a thoroughly unlikeable person for a couple of decades.

God is working miracles on a regular basis.

Here is another story on answered prayer.

We have a neighbor who has issues. She's nice but is raising her son to be extremely spoiled. I put her on my prayer list about three months ago. She used to leave for work in the mornings with her hair uncombed and she dressed sloppily. She was really depressed. The first change was she stated going back to church with her parents who are Mormons. Then she cleaned up her act. She started combing her hair and started dressing better.

A few weeks ago the SDA junior academy here in town had a fall festival and she and her son went to that. I asked her later how she liked it and she said she and her son stayed for three hours. The church is right across the road and I told her we went to that church. She said, that's cool, and sounded happy for us.

God is really working in peoples lives so the end is very near.

I have another short story of a miracle.

Last week I washed clothes and put them in the dryer. I ran them through a long cycle and when I went to take them out of the dryer they were cold and wet. WE couldn't afford a service call and the cost of an element so I bowed my head and asked God to repair it. He did. He is so good to us it's beyond my ability to express. All I can do is say thank you to our Father in heaven and rededicate myself to Him.

I have another story or two about the people God has brought into our lives since we have been taking care of our little great grand baby.

My wife's boss who is notoriously cheap gave her $100 to buy a swing for her. Other customers have purchased big bags of diapers, a lot of clothes, and one guy she'd never met carried the car seat and baby up to the third floor for her and then said he was going to buy us a bassinet. God is really working in the hearts of people. He's opening up the windows of heaven so there isn't room enough to receive it.
