"Expect a miracle"

This was the title of our sermon this morning. If I haven't said it yet, I adore our interem pastor and his wife! They are exactly what our church needed at the time. He's got such great messages and she's been a god-send to me. She has graciously taken over Chidlren's Church, giving me a much needed break.
Anyway, in the middle of the sermon the Ferris family watched a miracle! MADDOX WALKED. Not just one or two steps. Mutliple, turning corners, only stopping when he got to the sound booth and couldn't figure out how to climb the step into it. As if that wasn't enough on this Sunday monring, we recieved another miracle. COOPER TIED HIS SHOES! We have been working with Cooper since the beginning of the year. At Christmas break the teacher told me he was the only child in the class that wasn't tying his own shoes. She also offered a "reward" to him if he mastered it over the break. He will go back to school Wednesday a shoe-tier.
I need to Edit... Nelson had his own miracle this afternoon... He managed to bonk his head, give himself a goose-egg and bruise (that was instant purpleish-green) without breaking the skin. He had yet another stitches near miss. For those counting, that's 3 head bangs in under 6 months.
