Be the Miracle
Parting your soup is not a miracle, Bruce, it's a magic trick. A single mom who's working two jobs and still finds time to take her kid to soccer practice, that's a miracle. A teenager who says no to drugs and yes to an education, that's a miracle. People want me to do everything for them, and what they don't realize is - they have the power. You want to see a miracle, son? Be the miracle.

Who did Hitler kill?
Hey there, Cheese here. So, I've been thinking lately about the Holocaust. We just got done last week reading "The Hiding Place" by Corrie TenBoom. (You should read it if you never have) Thus, what got me thinking about the Holocaust. Mostly, at first, I thought about the survivors. But now, I'm thinking about all those people who died.
One of them might have found the cure for cancer. One of them might have been the next Nobel Peace Prize winner. One of them might have ended the AIDS epidemic. One thing is for sure, they each would have lived a very different life, perhaps having children, taking in orphans, abandoned animals. They would have married, or maybe found a great job and been happy single.
Who exactly did Hitler have murdered?
