    [00:00.00] Coincidences or Miracles?

    [00:05.49]Was it only a coincidence

    [00:09.64]that Anne appeared at the wishing well

    [00:14.00]just after Johnnie had made his wish,

    [00:18.65]or was there something more that caused her to appear?

    [00:24.61]Some people feel that when things like this happen,

    [00:30.04]it is not just a coincidence,but a manifestation

    [00:36.49]of some higher power or order where all things,

    [00:42.66]including our thoughts,some together.

    [00:47.91]"Ridiculous!"say others."That's all superstition."Perhaps

    [00:55.07]-but let's take a further look before we jump to conclusions.

    [01:01.10]We all know that some things exist even though

    [01:06.43]we cannot see them with our own eyes:

    [01:11.00]electricity,love,pain,the sun on a cloudy day.

    [01:17.24]And many of us have had the experience fo deja vu

    [01:23.10]-the feeling of having been in a specific place and situation before.

    [01:30.15]Most of us have performed various superstitious rites,

    [01:36.21]such as blowing out the candles on our birthday cake

    [01:41.04]or crossing our fingers for luck.

    [01:45.80]Many of us have had a dream about a friend or relative

    [01:51.54]who we havn't seen in a long time,

    [01:55.77]and then the person just happens to appear the next day.

    [02:01.13]Throughout history people have observed strange,nunexplainable events

    [02:09.28]and have wanted to know their cause and their meaning.

    [02:15.03]Scientists have studied nature and have found perfect order in it,

    [02:21.98]down to the smallest levels of existence.

    [02:27.30]Psychologists are studying the human mind

    [02:33.05]and making important discoveries.

    [02:37.60]And yet,as deep as we go into things,

    [02:42.95]there are always mysteries that lie just beyond our understanding.

    [02:49.69]Within nature we have discovered a particle smaller than the electron,

    [02:56.46]and through an abstract formula(E=mc2)

    [03:02.49]we have found the ink between matter and energy.

    [03:08.32]But in spite of all the scientific progress we have made,

    [03:14.35]there are still questions and happening that we call

    [03:20.31]"supernatural"because we do not understand them.

    [03:26.26]Do miracles as recorded in the Bible happen in our life?

    [03:32.92]Some insist that they do.

    [03:37.36]There are many people in the world today who,

    [03:43.22]at one time in their lives,were declared terminally ill,

    [03:49.28]but have completely recovered without the help of medicine.

    [03:55.13]There are recorded cases of people doing things that,

    [04:01.76]under normal circumstances,would be absolutely impossible for them.

    [04:09.03]An extreme case is a frail old woman

    [04:14.48]who lifted a car off the groundwhen her grandchild was trapped under it.

    [04:22.14]And there are also cases of people who claim to have seen"visions"

    [04:28.49]of their times and other worlds.

    [04:33.35]Somethings we hear about"coincidences"

    [04:38.00]that are so extraordinary we have to stop and ourselves

    [04:45.23]"What made such a strange thing happen?"

    [04:50.40]For example,a friend says,"I haven't seen Mary in ten years.

    [04:57.74]I dreamed about her last night,and she called me today."

    [05:04.20]Is it just a coincidence?Or is it something more?

    [05:10.94]Of course there are many mysteries in life that we do not understand.

    [05:17.47]And many people are troubled because

    [05:21.72]they don't have the answers to these mysteries

    [05:27.37]But there is no need for despair,

    [05:32.02]for as long as there is that force

    [05:36.35]that brough Anne and Jonnie back together,

    [05:41.50]there is hope for the world.And that force is love.
