Who are you, Lord?” “I am Jesus, the Victorious… (‭‭Acts‬ ‭9:5) My mother tells a story of how at five years old I almost drowned at our local open air Lido swimming pool.

The doctors scheduled an operation for this Monday which was subsequently cancelled – as they couldn’t find them anymore … !!! Miracle # 2 – in the early hours of yesterday mor
