Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 Isn't it amazing how God works in our lives! On a Saturday night several weeks ago, this pastor was working late, and decided to call his wife before he left for home. It was about 10:00 PM, but his wife didn't answer the phone. The pastor let it ring many times. He thought it was odd that she didn't answer, but decided to wrap up a few things and try again in a few minutes. When he tried again she answered right away. He asked her why she hadn't answered before, and she said that it hadn't rung at their house. They brushed it off as a fluke and went on their merry ways. The following Monday, the pastor received a call at the church office, which was the phone that he'd used that Saturday night. The man that he spoke with wanted to know why he'd called on Saturday night. The pastor couldn't figure out what the man was talking about. Then the man said, " It rang and rang, but I didn't answer. " The pastor remembered the mishap and apologized for disturbing him, explaining that he'd intended to call his wife. The man said, " That's OK. Let me tell you my story. You see, I was planning to commit suicide on Saturday night, but before I did, I prayed, 'God if you're there, and you don't want me to do this, give me a sign now.' At that point my phone started to ring. I looked at the caller ID, and it said, 'Almighty God'. I was afraid to answer! " The reason why it showed on the man's caller ID that the call came from " Almighty God " is because the church that the pastor attends is called Almighty God Tabernacle!! If you believe that God answers prayers then pass this on. God bless! __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 What a great story - hopefully the treatment was successful for this particular lady. There is a school of thought from previous conversations with some young MUMS who have CML who have discussed with their specialists this very issue. The option is that their own babies cord blood stem cells can be manipulated to match their parents. Apparently t the stem cells would be enough for a transplant for a person of around 50kg's. If one is over that amount in weight the stem cells can be manipulated to grow. Apparently the technology is now there, that they can increase in the amount of stem cells that you get from one child. The procedure is very costly and if done apparently as an example in USA it would cost him well over $250k. So this is real bonus if one has enough monies - have their children and save and then harvest blood cord stem cells. Since none of these options are available to me - glivec will do just fine. I found the article just amazing and hopefully this type of treatment for a cure - will be very safe for some If you considering children - perhaps speak to your specialists about this type of treatment from your own childrens blood cord stem cells Sue (Aussie) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
