Divine Signatures of God

During the news of possible complications of Cindy's twins, I decided to add a ray of hope through a story in the book, by Gerald Lund, Divine Signatures, the Confirming Hand of God. It's the story of his younger brother Mike Lund. He loved to ride his bike and while biking one day was involved in an accident. A cement truck with a stabilizing trailer knocked him to the ground with the stabilizing trailer running up his entire back. In the next 4 months many miracles took place while he was in the hospital and in rehab. But the biggest miracle took place years before while in the womb. As they met together one day in conference with doctors, lawyers, and insurance people, the doctor excused all but Mike and his wife, because he wanted to talk to them personally. He told them he did not believe in God or miracles. Then he showed them an x-ray of the brain, with the cerebellum, which controls motor functions of the body. Then he showed them another x-ray and asked them what the difference was. They noticed that this x-ray had no cerebellum. The doctor then announced that this x-ray was of Mike's brain, the cerebellum was missing. He said the only thing that he could figure out to explain any of it was that while Mike was in the womb, the cerebellum had never developed. But the brain, had taken upon itself to reroute things so that the functions of the cerebellum in other areas. He said again I don't believe in God or in miracles, but you sir, are a walking miracle. All I can say is stand and watch the faith of Cindy and Kyle and see the miracles of the Lord unfold.
