AMERICA'S LONGEST MARRIAGE, MIRACLE LINKS TWO STORIES, DANGER, BRENNAN MANNING, SHEL SILVERSTEIN

MARRIED longer than anyone in America, together they raised five children and they have 14 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. Their oldest daughter is 80 years old!!!! (Ann is 98 and John is 102).  Click HERE for an article sent to me by my youngest daughter.

MIRACLES still happen.  Yesterday I posted the story of Paul Miller and last night my wife and I saw the movie "The Christmas Candle" at the Regal Theater. (Click for movie trailer HERE

Interesting link between these two stories.  Even though the stories are separated by 150 years, in each case a community was changed forever because of a series of miracles. 

DANGER!  Don't get near the outside of your kitchen window during this thanksgiving season.  Click HERE.

BRENNAN MANNING, who passed away this year, and Shel Silverstein met when they were young and, according to Manning, stayed in touch. Later, after Shel began to write and Manning became a priest, they had a conversation about God and God’s love. Manning asked Silverstein what he thought God’s love felt like. Silverstein thought about it for a while but had no answer. Much later, Silverstein got in touch with Manning and gave him a copy of The Giving Tree saying the book was his answer to Manning’s question.  Click HERE to read  "The Giving Tree"
