 Well, what do you have? Well, we had to close on the wet clothes on our back They were like Not good, not good You better make phone calls and credit card company do the things you would normally do in those kind of situations Which we did. We just made a few phone calls and called a few people and so on and so forth and then We did Seem to be able to have the number of our friends and we called them they still won't come But we just left an answer machine message. We're over at this park Where we just arrived in Miami, even though we haven't met you yet. It was interesting situation going on But we can't really come to your house Could you come to the park and pick us up? We left a message so shortly thereafter Our friends arrived the police were there taking down some kind of police report and asking a bunch of questions and so on and so forth And their friends picked us up and they said well come on come home with us And so with the clothes on our back, which was still quite wet we We hopped in the car and on the way home The man the husband said He said well you mind if we just make one stop before we go home Listen, hey, we're just happy to be in the car and have a place to go So I go to AA and I do a lot of work with 12 steps And so can I stop by my ace ace and I just want you to meet my buddies my friends my sponsor You people so cool. I think you're peaceful. I'd love them to meet you So we they took us over there they introduced us to all the people They said, oh, they're here visiting us and it came down But their car was stolen and all they have on there with them is the clothes on their back What people were so loving they came up and they said oh Please please we've got to help. We're doing a clothing drive And we would love for you to go in the back and just go through we've got piles of piles of clothes This is my new Florida Wow We went in the back shoes socks pants a Whole work, I mean basically they even hit suitcases for us and they and within about 20 minutes Both Beverly and I had completely new work in 20 minutes completely new work. It's all the way from top to bottom And I was trying some of the stuff on and we were back in the back room and Beverly said Wow, the Holy Spirit dresses you better than you do The Holy Spirit's got some taste at least you Have no clue about fashion. I'm telling you now things are clicking. I feel better being with you already Because you've got some threads. You got some decent clothes Okay, well, this is the way that works You don't know your own best interest and then you turn it over to the universe and here it comes Get ready. Your socks are gonna get knocked off so We had so that we went and stayed but we walked in when we got home with these people where we were staying They'd never been to the home. We had never met them before you walk in I'd say it's about 30 seconds after we get in the door The phone rings and it was it's like a Friday night. It's about seven thirty eight o'clock now and It was the police and the police Said oh, we found your car but we've taken it to our impound lot and it's Friday it's past closing hours. You're gonna have to wait till Monday morning to go get your car Because it's impounded for the weekend So we had a wonderful weekend We actually went with these friends to the Course in Miracles meeting and We shared a little bit of our experience in the course meeting and the facilitator said well We usually take up a collection here, but we would please let us Donate the collection to you at the Course in Miracles meeting and the funny thing was The only thing in the car that we had borrowed was a tent And we had borrowed his tent from a man in Cincinnati at this church and we were thinking we were gonna do some camping and so We had gone before the Course in Miracles meeting we had gone to this sporting goods store and we'd seen this tent That he said he would offer to us for like $72 was a used tent It was almost identical to the one that the man had loaned to us We thought we'd probably got to replace that he'd loaned us this tent. We don't even own the tents, it's borrowed He said I'll give it to you for $72 because we don't have that So when we went to the Course meeting right after that and they passed the basket They pulled it out the tent and they said here take this as a donation It's $72 Oh Here we go New wardrobe and now it looks like the tent is next step So the tent came then Monday morning we went in to the impound lot we went there and The car had been stripped Steering column had been stripped and it was emptied out Pretty much completely emptied out But we finally got to the car that we opened the doors up and we looked and we see the steering column was stripped And we looked in the back seat and there were our two Course in Miracles books sitting up there Unwanted And I just looked at everything I said see Nothing you need will be denied you. I think we need those books. I think this is part of our lesson Looks like we got the car back and we got the books Experienced like really Sam and a new wardrobe and a tent. So we're down to what we need here And then apparently down there, Miami, there's so many of these kind of events that they have a whole industry built up that rebuilds stripped Steering columns we don't have that in Cincinnati, but I guess it's a port city So there's a whole industry So we had some friends of ours and money Steering column go they said do you want us to do the cosmetics? I mean I said no just Just do the electronics just so we can drive the car So it kind of looked like R2D2 and C3PO You know these But it ran so so then we went up along the other coast and we kept telling the story about how Everything was provided that we needed everything and people would tell us Oh, I was so depressed and now I heard what you guys just went through and I'm so uplifted so The different churches and horse groups. It was like turning into an inspiring pair of helping to lift people up And I looked at Beverly. I said well, Jesus had come to us ahead of time. I said I'm gonna borrow your car for a while I want to turn it into an inspirational parable You can help lift your brothers and sisters on the golf side of the Florida. Would you do it? She said yeah Jesus came to me and asked for the car. I said well, that's kind of the way it's gonna go in our life now So that was just one little miracle story. I will tell you that was back in 1992 and If I had to write a book of miracle parables like that Wow In 18 years Webster's dictionary would look tiny compared to me putting down in paper all the miracle Experiences that I've had of being cared for of being watched over being loved and nurtured of Not having problems of even I didn't ran out of gas one time and I wasn't aware of it and I posted down this long mountain and Took the exit the first exit I was guided to and posted down this next road and posted right into a gas station I'm posted for like two miles and posted right to a gas station. Still I was unaware the car was out of gas until they pumped the car with gas and Smiled at me and some man I read his lips. He said man, I have gas gas station like how lucky can you get But to me, it's not luck. You know, it's like Jesus says You know, nothing you need will be denied you and not one seeming difficulty, but will melt away Before you reach it That's not what I learned in college. I took classes in problem solving That didn't say that the problems would melt away before you reach them It was more how you get out of the tangled mess. It seems like a nasty problem Money problems, health problems, relationship problems Environmental problems that you're telling me that it will melt away before you even get to a problem Whoa, that's That's deep stuff
