Scripture verse for today:
.... "In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus." I Thessalonians 5:18
.

During his high school years, comedian Tim Conway
suffered a back injury during a football game that left him unable to talk or
move. When he couldn’t stand up, his team members carried him off the field. A
doctor took an X-ray, found nothing broken, and put him in a neck brace for a
few weeks.
Many years later, Conway visited a doctor due to back
spasms. As he writes in his memoir What’s So Funny, he was shocked
when the doctor told him his “spasms were a residual effect stemming from a
broken vertebra.” Conway insisted he’d never broken a vertebra, then recalled
the football incident.
The doctor explained that he’d likely broken his
vertebra, but when his teammates picked him up, his back got stretched out and
the vertebra went back into place. If Conway hadn’t been moved, he may have
been permanently disabled.
That was a watershed moment for Conway, spiritually
speaking. He writes, “Ever since that incident on the football field, which
might have altered the course of my life, Jesus and I have stayed in constant
touch. I never stop saying thank you.”
