> I think it was yesterday.  Sandy told me she had misplaced her patch cord that connects her iPhone to the Bose stereo box and charger.  It is only a cable about 6 inches long.  She couldn't find it so I looked in several places where she keeps her mac stuff and the Bose speakers and asked her if she thought it could be under our electronic keyboard that is in our living room and is shaped like a miniature grand piano.  She sets her Bose speakers on top of that piano and it is out of the way but easy to get to without going into the living room itself.  I told her I would look under the keyboard on the floor but she didn't think it was there.  I opened the door that separates the living room from our dining room, and closing the door behind me, slowly got down on my aging knees.  As I put my palms on the floor and bent to crawl under the piano, I prayed.  "Lord.  I don't know if the cable is under here but you know.  So, if it is under hear, show me right away where it is."  I moved my right hand forward to start my crawl forward and my hand laid right on that little cable.  I smiled.  I hadn't prayed out loud; just formed the words at lightning speed in my mind and God answered.  But that's not all.

> Tonight, I dropped an ibuprofen on the kitchen floor, hardwood, and I could hear it bounce all around on the kitchen floor.  I didn't want the dogs eating it so I quickly got down on my knees and prayed, "Lord.  Help me find the pill right away."  You guessed it.  One second is all it took to find it.  Does God really do stuff like that?  If He is that interested in us, perhaps we should start believing Him for other things we think are big things, too?  How much belief does it take?  It takes the same amount of belief as you experienced when you asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior.
