Phil,
Thank you! That was an awesome story. The power of prayer truly does bring 
about miraculous events we could never explain any other way!
Sheila and Vinnie

let all be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in 
spirit; not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving
a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might 
inherit a blessing." (I Peter 3: 7-9)

Subject: Whose On The Phone?


:     The Tennisons were speaking at a church camp.  Their only son
: was in seminary.  That week, he was taking exams for his PHD.  His
: mother said that during those three hours each day he was taking
: his exams, she would be on her knees praying for him.
:
:     The last day of his exams, he called his mother and said he
: wanted to talk to his dad.  His dad, he was informed, had left
: that morning and at that very moment, his dad was on the airplane
: flying to the next meeting.  Their son said that he was just
: hoping to talk to his dad one more time before the last exam but
: he understood.  They hung up.
:
:     A little more than three hours later, their son called his
: mom to report that he felt he did well on his exams.  He said, "It
: sure was nice to hear from dad before my exams, too."  Sister
: Tennison said, she wasn't aware that his dad called him.
:
:     Later that day, sister Tennison received a call from her
: husband.  He said that he had just landed and was checking in.
: Sister Tennison asked him how it was he was able to call their
: son.  He said, "I didn't call him.  I was on the airplane so I
: couldn't have called him."
:
:     Calling her son back, he insisted his dad had called him and
: he could prove it.  He said that as he left his room, his phone
: rang.  Thinking it might be his mom calling back, he quickly
: unlocked the door and ran for the phone but it had quit ringing.
: He played the message back.  It was his dad.  He said on the tape,
: "Son, this is dad.  I just wanted you to know I was praying for
: you today."  Sister Tennison heard the recording over the phone
: and said it was her husband's voice.  She asked her son to check
: the time of the recording.  He did and gave her the figures.  She
: wrote them down.  She said, that time was the exact time her
: husband would have still been on the airplane flying to their next
: meeting where she would be the next day.
:
:     When their cell phone bill came, there was a one minute call
: at that exact same time, but her husband's cell phone was turned
: off and in his carry on bag which was in the overhead storage ben
: of the airplane, at that exact hour and minute.  If Mr. Tennison
: didn't make that call, who did?
:
: Phil.
