Be the Miracle! — Coming in 2015 – what does that mean?
Is God still doing miracles today? Of course He is. One well-known and prolific writer told 
me if that he has been teaching that and telling people that for the past 40 years!
The stories in Be The Miracle (my 31-day devotional) aim to help readers recognize some of the miracles happening all around them.
Some believers are quick to discount modern miracles, but if you ask them if they have ever had a feeling that God wanted them to do something that met a specific need in someone’s life, or answered a specific prayer request, they will answer in the affirmative. They recognize the events, but not the pattern. It is in recognizing the pattern that we learn to obey and can readily be used by God.
During Purim it is hard natural to think of Queen Esther and how God performed a miracle through her that is still making a difference generations later. What I hope the readers of Be The Miracle to understand is, God is ready to perform a miracle through them today if they will listen and obey him. Don’t we all want to make a difference!
-Bruce Wilkinson, in his book, You Were Born for This, said, “God is so intent on meeting
people’s deepest needs that He is always looking for volunteers who will become living links between Heaven and earth.”

Yes, God used a cow to begin our journey! What did God use to get your attention that He could and would do some amazing things in and with your life?
Buddy Greene (an American singer, songwriter, guitarist and harmonica player) and I have a common prayer concern. Our parents are at the age where we will soon begin to need to care for them, so when I pray for my mother, I pray for him and his family as well. You see Buddy is a…
I am still reviewing all the amazing things that happened to King David (and of course his three faithful friends). I love my faithful friends, and have enjoyed meals with them, some celebratory, some comforting, but cannot imagine being on a trip with them and all being offered the favorite weakness of a luscious prime…
Have you ever done something stupid? I didn’t think so. I know better. My $172 lesson should never have happened. My mommy skills have been on vacation for over 30 years – but I still should know better than to show impatience with my cognitively disabled charge. Several weeks ago, we went to the post…
