Marty,
I just wanted to thank you again for posting this series reminding us of the accounts of Jesus healing. I have been following them as you've posted them (sometimes getting a little behind, and sometimes playing catch-up). I've also just put an hour aside earlier this morning to read them all again. What a blessing!
thank you
Mark
Mark,
Thanks for the kind words. I've been out of town on business and unable to post any more of the miracles, but am now back at it.
God Bless You!
Marty
