Several years ago, we were involved in a business that required us to rent a backhoe for a few days. Well, the second night we had it, it was stolen. As the signers of the contract my and wife and I were personally responsible for the entire “replacement cost” of the equipment, some $32,000 (which was more than I made in a year).
Prior to this occurrence, we had made a commitment to a young missionary couple to help support their work oversees. We had been making monthly donations to fulfill our commitment, but we stopped after the missing backhoe. Days turned into weeks which turned into a month and no backhoe (believe me I drove several hundred miles looking). Needless to say, we were in heavy prayer about this and when the last day came to send in our money for the missionaries, we had a choice. Keep the money and add it in to what we were saving to pay for the stolen equipment or write the check to the church.
Well, it was a VERY tough decision. But in the end, we figured the affairs of God took precedence over the affairs of man. We wrote the check out on a Sunday and the very next day, we received a call from someone in another state that the backhoe had been found and it was on its way back to the rental place. WOW! What can you say, but praise God!

Within this group will be shared personal stories of God at work. From answering prayers to miraculous signs and circumstances, God is always going about His work. If you have been apart of just such a “miracle,” please feel free to share them here. It’s encouraging to know the God who created the universe also hears and responds to the cries of His people today.
Joshua 4 says...
Each of you is to take up a stone on his shoulder. So they took twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan. Then Joshua set up the twelve stones and said "In the future, when your descendants ask their fathers, 'What do these stones mean?' tell them, 'Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.' The LORD your God did to the Jordan just what He had done to the Red Sea. He did this so that everyone would know that the hand of the LORD is powerful and that the LORD your God should be held in fearful reverence forever.
Stacking OUR Stones
Please Read:
This scripture made such an impression on me that I wrote a song around it and included it on my second album, “Factory Hits, vol. 2.” Past that, and so that others would ask, we have a stack of stones in our front yard, one for each major blessing or answered prayer that can only be explained as a God-thing.
To get this started, I figured I’d share with you the stories behind the 6 stones you see in the photo. I strongly encourage you to share your stories with all of us here. And I even strongerly (should be a word) encourage you to keep both eyes wide open to God at work behind the scenes. As you reflect and observe such situations, always make sure they are consistent with His core character, are in line with His inspired Word and they sit well with your inner Spirit, which are keys to knowing it is truly a God-thing.
