[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.
