It is great that you believe that God performed a miracle for you and healed your bones. Is it because you believe so passionately? Because you prayed alot? Because God loved you and had a purpose for your life? Too bad God didn't love my father quite as much and allowed him to die a horrible long-suffering death from colon cancer. Too bad God didn't love my mother quite as much so she is destined to live out her life with Alzheimer's, unable to recognize her family, unable even to speak. If God truly existed, why wouldn't God be merciful to everyone? Why wouldn't God perform miracles for everyone? Why doesn't my family get a miracle? Or those families in Haiti or Chile? Why? Because God exists only as an idea in your head. The thought of a merciful/helping/loving God may help you get through a tough situation; I am not trying to belittle your belief system. But luck happens. Sh*t happens. God doesn't.

Shaun,

Thanks for sharing your story. I believe God is glorified by your willingness to share. I, too, don't understand how and why miracles happen when they do (or don't). But, I know that God does perform miracles according to His wise and sovereign plan. I know that when He saved me from hell, He performed a miracle. I know, too, that the miracle of His deliverance and victory in my life for the struggles I face, are as sure as His love for me (us). Your story confirms and assures me of that a little more. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing this man. Not sure how I stumbled over here, but I'm nearly brought to tears as a young father myself thinking how hard I would struggle and how desperately I would pray to keep from leaving my daughter and wife alone. I know you're on to new things in your life, but the story remains just as exciting to a new reader as it was the first day you wrote it.

That's a pretty cool story.

Thanks for sharing this. I needed to be reminded that all I need is a miracle…and that God still does those…so glad that you are good.

I follow you on Twitter and decided to visit your blog. Thank you for sharing your story! I’m sure this will help/inspire many people. I know you are doing many wonderful things in the ATL and to try to spur support for Haiti. May God continue to bless you for all that you do!

One question: Can you recommend a good church in the Philadelphia area? A progressive, God-fearing, missions-focused church? Very jealous of the great options in your city. : )

Peace

Wow. What a powerful story!! I just found your blog and your church's site and I love them already! I wish I lived closer to Atlanta…but I'm like 4 hours away! It seems like you are doing awesome things for God…and not in the name of religion or popularity…or any of the other seemingly useless reasons people do things. It kills me that my brother went through a similar situation and still doesn't believe in God. Maybe….just maybe…I could get him to take a look at your blog or your church's site. Thank you so much for sharing your story!!
