Today, or so it seems, we are so darned calloused that we don't hardly believe in anything, let alone miracles. Faith is a funny thing. I have questioned my faith in the past and realized that my faith was pretty darned undernourished. Another word for faith is confidence, and another is trust. "Do you have CONFIDENCE in God? Do you TRUST God? Well, I have to admit that my faith, confidence, trust in God has not always been very strong. I think that my biggest problem in the past has been that I "looked" at myself instead of at Papa God. Well, that is changing.
Over the last few months, the last year, I have lived a miracle, or I should say, I have lived "with a miracle. "Some of you know my Nancy, have known her long enough to remember when she was on a walker and in a wheelchair. You have seen her go through all the stages of M.S. and into that strange shadow land of dementia we call, "Alzheimer's disease." Where weird is commonplace, off the wall is expected, normal has taken a vacation.
Some of you have watched Nanny and I reclaim our lives through a healthy lifestyle and absolute trust in God. We began eating better, lotsa fruits and veggies, more exercise and prayer. (That prayer thing we are working on.)
We have absolutely added years to our lives.
Nanny was on six different meds as was I. (We whipped big pharma with that healthy lifestyle I mentioned.)
Nanny is walking again, working in the yard and happier than she has been in years and I feel like a kid again. (After being diagnosed with emphysema I am breathing again and improving dramatically. Give Him the glory!)
Recently Nan had another M.R.I. and we were blown away with the results. Here is the miracle I mentioned. Comparing the M.R.I. from fifteen years ago and the one from a year and a half ago to the latest shows a reduction in the size of the lesions on the myelin sheath! Yes, the lesions are still there but they are smaller. This in its own right is unusual according to her doctors.
Nanny has some slight cognition challenges but she is so sweet and very happy.
Her blood pressure has stabilized at about 118 over 78 which ain't too shoddy, praise the Lord.
Please keep praying for us.
Chuck and Nancy
P.S. And I am no longer a skinhead and am clean shaven! I have a nice head of hair and am getting regular haircuts thanks to our dear friend, Franny Bo the hair stylist

Hair growth! Now that's a marketable miracle!
Chuck,
I believe in miracles and you and Nancy are living a miracle. I know that God can bless us in spades if we turn our life (including healthy habits) over to Him. It's not an easy thing to do as many of us struggle with selfishness but I am so happy to hear about Nancy's and your improvements. God bless you both.
E.D.
Good Morning Chuck,
This morning I asked God to give me a cloud or pillar of fire that I could SEE- to know his will for me every day. So many days I feel I am walking blindly, doing my best and just hoping it is right never knowing for sure. Your miracle put a cloud in the sky for me today confirming that God is leading my life. Thank you!

Dear Chuck
Prais God.. But really the diet change and what it does for people is really no surprise as I have made the change to vegen some years back and noticed the difference right away. As you know you were the one that introduced me to vegetarian lifestyle some forty years ago.. I am seventy three and work like a horse and feel great. Of course prayer is very important but praying and not following good health practices usually does not produce any lasting results. We are the temple of God and must take care of ourselves as we know best. Blessing to you and Nancy.

Dear Chuck,
Your friend and mine....my longtime friend, Richard, forwarded your e-mail to him re: miracles!
I can testify that eating right, faith & prayer do MIGHTY things! I also had MS. Maybe Richard told you.
I went on a strick vegan diet, eating nothing cooked and drinking carrot juice 3 times a day. It wasn't long and I was feeling back to normal but continued the diet for 9 months. Gradually I added a few cooked foods into my diet. That was
1994. Today I eat vegan but fall off "the wagon" on special occasions and have dessert.
I am happy that you and Nancy have learned about God's natural diet and are doing well on it. May HE continue to be with you.
Your old friend,
Jeanette
I wish more people could hear the good news!

Chuck,
Great story, am real happy things are working out for you.Just goes to show you different stroked for different people really work. must tell you though i am a little skeptical about the Hair bit.
Really! After shaving my head for years due to a hair deficit, though it is a little thin in the front I have a full head of hair! Don't ask me how 'cause I don't know. I think it is either the pure heart or the fertilizer I rub into my scalp every night. Who can figure,
Chaz
Well Charlie,
We know it's not a pure heart so what brand fertilizer are you using?

And now I have to put up with sarcasm! Chaz
