LOOKING FOR A MIRACLE

By -
My girlfriend is heading to Medjugorje Monday, looking for a miracle, that she can find right here at home...and she knows that.

But sometimes, it's nice to take a leap of faith, board a plane and head for the place that brought you back to God, back to your senses and right on into the sanity that has saved your life and caused you to soar. She is going back to the womb of her conversion where the hand of God so powerfully yet patiently pushed her forward, piqued her attention and paused her just long enough to think-"It kinda knocks you into your senses!"

Holy places honor the soulful yearning within by giving hope to the possibility that maybe God will pick you out of a crowd and put you on a pedestal just long enough to show the world that his power is as poignant as ever. Places like Medjugorje remind us that God exists in a powerful way...and that different people from different places all over the world hold within their hearts a common desire to know and to Love God...without reservation.

In fact, I think God sends us Miracles and messages and must see places-to keep our faith-a living and breathing and hopefully conscious faith-while reminding us that the only reason we are here...kicking and screaming and demanding our constitutional rights...is because we have been given the right to life...and the obligation to Love life with the genuine authenticity that only God can inspire.

I wish my friend a safe journey, a soul inspiring odyssey and the miracle that only the maker can maneuver for the benefit of her family and for the rest of us who will be watching and waiting for the hand of God to reach right in and rock her world!

SUBLIME AUDACITY!

I have all the signs and symptoms of something I just learned about today...Sublime Audacity. That's right...I have the audacity to believe-that anything is possible-anything at all-with God. In fact, I believe that there is one cure for all the world's ills...and that cure rests with -and in God. In a world of material wealth, individual desires and carefully orchestrated managed care...When people search the world over for the answers that never come, the healings that rarely happen and the hope that always gets dashed by the next person...I believe that there is only one steady stream of consciousness that always gets it right...and that is God. I've personally experienced it time and again and every time I look elsewhere or seek some other solution, I always come crawling back to the staying power of my higher power...Because let's face it...Once we have the audacity to tell anyone-anyone at all that God is responsible for all the good in our lives or the Love that

OUR LADY OF JOY, HANCEVILLE ALABAMA

High atop a hill in Hanceville Alabama, broken hearts are being healed and hope is being restored. Our Lady of Joyful Hope is a community of young men who are finding new freedom through a life of authentic truth. Once lost in the darkness of addiction they are now living in the light of Christ who is transforming them from the inside out...And their families, if they are open and willing, are being transformed right alongside them. Recently, I spent three days with this community, listening to the young men, their parents and to the foundress, Mother Elvira, who flew in from Italy for the anointing of the new community house and the celebration that followed. Mother Elvira's life story is on par with Mother Teresa. She is an Italian nun who heard the call from God to snatch souls from Satan by delivering young men and women from the demonic grip of addiction. She gave up everything familiar, walked straight into the wilderness and wound up becoming a living legacy for desperate fa

HRUSHIV UKRAINE: APPARITIONS OF THE BLESSED MOTHER

By -

Twenty four years ago today, April 27, 1987 the Blessed Mother allegedly appeared in Hrushiv Ukraine with a warning and words of consolation. She came on the Feast of the Ascension, exactly one year after the nuclear reactor disaster at Chernobyl saying "Do not forget those who have died...Chernobyl is a reminder and a sign for the whole world." In 1990 while producing a television documentary in Ukraine, I visited Hrushi and interviewed a handful of people who had witnessed the apparition above the church of the Holy Trinity. In all, some five hundred thousand witnesses claimed to have seen the Virgin Mary over a four month period. Mary apparently told them she came to thank the Ukrainian people because they had suffered so much at the hands of a raging lion who had been prowling around seeking whom he could devour. She said their suffering would come to an end and one day Ukraine would become an independent state. She then urged disciplined, Christian fortitude, "
