I love what is happening at Mercy Hospital Springfield. The media has done it's part to put faith, hope and prayer front and center whether by intention or accident.
No matter what the cause of the phenomena, there is one truth: prayer unites people. It was pretty awe inspiring to see people of all walks of faith, all races and all ages, quietly posed in prayer in hopes that maybe just maybe this is the one small miracle they were looking for in a world gone awry.
In tough times people need something to cling to. They reach for a lifeline of hope praying that times will change, hearts will soften and the world will be just a little better because of a small grace filled moment in their lives.
For the naysayers, I say, faith cannot be taken away. Not with science, not with skepticism and certainly not with ridicule. If this is what it takes to bring a world together, I say I hope we see more!
