Waiting for a Miracle


 



While they're waiting for a
While they're waiting for a
While they're waiting for a miracle...
 
Chorus from Waiting for a Miracle by Bruce Cockburn


 This morning I'll be making an announcement to the congregation of which we're a part in Trenton about a study group I'll be leading, beginning this Wedneday. It will go like this: 

It’s a miracle that she survived the car crash.
His recovery from that illness was nothing short of a miracle.
It will be a miracle if the Leafs win the Stanley Cup again in my lifetime…
and I’m a Leafs fan!

We use the language of miracles commonly in everyday speech, but do we actually believe that the miracles of the bible occurred and that miracles still happen today?

In the United Church our faith tends to focus on “right thinking and right acting” as people who follow Jesus.

Yet some of the most exciting stories of our childhood faith were miracle stories such as the Exodus story of Moses parting the waters of the Red Sea to save the people of Israel. There is the lesser known story in 1st Hesitations of Baby Moses in the bathtub.
It’s also important to consider whether our “grown up” faith has room for a God who acts in Creation as a God of signs and wonders.

During the three weeks of the study we'll be reading miracles stories from the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament and exploring whether miracles still happen. I'll bring in the work of Dr. Jacalyn Duffin, a hematologist at Queen's University who is an atheist yet is open to the possibility of miracles.  I've appreciated a recent book by Luke Timothy Johnson on the subject.

You're welcome to join us in an exploration of miracles starting this Wednesday morning and for two other sessions as we approach the great miracle of the resurrection on Easter morning. 

Any personal comments about miracles?

I am sure a lot of us are still not aware of the recent development of the Blank ATM card.. An ATM card that can change your financial status within few days. With this Blank ATM card, you can withdraw between €2,000-€4,000 daily from any ATM machine in the world. There is no risk of getting caught by any form of security if you followed the instructions properly. The Blank ATM card is also sophisticated due to the fact that the card has its own security making your transaction very safe and untraceable. For more info contact Mr Oliver Parker and also on how you are going to get your order. Order yours today via: parketatmhacker@hotmail.com.

I want to testify about United blank atm cards which can withdraw money from any atm machines around the world. I was very poor before and have no job. I saw so many testimony about how United hackers send them the atm blank card and use it to collect money in any atm machine and become rich. I email them also and they sent me the blank atm card. I have use it to get 90,000 dollars. withdraw the maximum of 5,000 USD daily. United hackers is giving out the card just to help the poor. Hack and take money directly from any atm machine vault with the use of atm programmed card which runs in automatic mode.

Excellent and professional investigative services. I hired Mr FRED for a very private and difficult matter of hacking my wife's phone and he far exceeded my expectations. He helped me get some info such as whatsapp, facebook, text messages, call logs and even phone conversations that I needed for proof of her secretive affair. The first time we spoke, we had a very long phone consultation in which he gave me all my options that he could think of to resolve my case, and he even recommended I try other options before hiring him, which shows that he is honest. I decided to hire him and I am glad I did. He is a fantastic investigator and a great person; to all loyal partners out there if you have a dishonest partner don't hesitate to send him a mail Contact: CYBERAPPHACK@GMAIL.COM.

Thank you for the recommendation , I invested a massive chunk of my capital and savings into the care of an unregulated broker who vividly convinced me into investing ,he said pulling out of the investment is easy and I could make withdrawals .He kept asking for more funds ,this kept going on until i came across your writeup, contacted FASTFUNDSRECOVERY@PROTONMAIL.COM Mr Andrew Murray who guided me until I got all my funds back ,I really don’t know how he did it ,It was a relief to get my money back? i think someone else might need his asistance too, feel free to contact him if you are having issues accessing trading acount, reach out to him via his email address: FASTFUNDSRECOVERY@PROTONMAIL.COM and he will guide you on steps to take and get back your funds without any form of restriction.

They want more money in and when you decline to take loans worth of €90,000.00 they’ll empty your investment account. That's what happened to me. In the beginning it seemed to be ok, but when you want to take money out it is not possible. They say it takes long time to gather the money etc etc. There's always excuse why you can not have your money back. I have contacted them via customer service and I never got reply in written. I checked the trading history win loss report and there wasn't loss enough that could've explained the disappearance of 60,567.0 euros. I was not able to get access to my invested capital including my bonus in the Bloombex account, God so kind, luckily as I was researching for how to get my funds back from the scam broker, then I came across a comment on the broker reviews website, that talks about a recovery expert, on binary,forex,crypto and bitcoin trade recovery, Mr Andrew Murray, he was to guide me the process to get my funds from the scam investment broker Bloombex option trade. Him and his team worked relentlessly to get my refund. Feel free to reach out to him , if you had same experience via us email address: FASTFUNDSRECOVERY@PROTONMAIL.COM and he will guide you on steps to take and get your invested capital including your bonus back.

He is no scam, I tested him and he delivered a good job, he helped me settle bank loans, helped my son to increase his grades at high school final year and he also gave him automatic scholarship into college, all i had to do was to settle the bills for tools on the job and gave him the necessary information and he did the rest,with just $500 to get tools for the job that brought about $15000 my way, I  was hopeless before not knowing what to do but thanks to brillianthckers800@gmail.com I am now a happy man free from troubles, sharing this is how I can show gratitude for all he has done for me and my family.
