Ernest Shackleton

I hope you don’t mind if I run this post again. Patty and I have been sick since New Year’s and we need a miracle. We need you now, O Lord. In Jesus’ name, please heal us.

As World War I was breaking out, explorer Ernest Shackleton embarked on an expedition to cross Antarctica. Their ship came to grief, and it all came down to this: Shackleton and two others had to cross the ocean in a small boat, climb uncharted glaciers, and fetch help. Otherwise everybody dies.

A Modern Miracle

Read the rest; it isn’t long. A miracle described in the Bible recurred to save Shackleton.

How long would we last without the Lord’s protection?

Man Falls From 9th-Story Window–and Lives

According to witnesses, the man plunged through the rood of the BMW and then quickly got back up.

Miracles do happen, even in Jersey City. They had one this week–a man fell from a 9th story window, 100 feet high… and lived to tell the tale (https://nypost.com/2021/10/07/new-jersey-man-survives-9-story-plunge-by-landing-on-a-bmw/).

A parked BMW broke his fall. He broke the BMW.

Actually, he was a bit too rattled to be telling any tales. He did ask, “What happened?” You’d think he, of all people, would know. Police believe he was trying to commit suicide. He did wind up with some painful injuries, but will probably recover.

I can’t see this as anything but a miracle. Can you?
