God uses that "possibility" to work miracles. Miracles are not impossible or supernatural - just VERY improbable. Synchronicity is the mark of God's handiwork.Harold Max Curtishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09056841975408050421noreply@blogger.comBlogger49125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5463206868338053552.post-85442544489401673532023-08-10T17:00:00.003-04:002023-08-10T17:53:52.178-04:00The Holy Spirit in all of Creation In my book Following the Cloud, I discussed the continuing role of the Holy Spirit in the physical world.

The Base Model
The base model was a 1978 Monogram 1/48 F-104C #5409.
This was not a great model to begin with – the Hawk (1964?)
kit #504 was much better in most aspects.
In addition, this kit had already been started to kitbash something

A miracle does not violate the laws of physics. Not unlike the incredible accomplishment of a quarter of a million pounds of aluminum 757 flying through the air, a miracle just uses the laws of physics in surprising or unexpected ways.
