This Week : Pop artists and Prejudice

This Week : Miracles

Miracles only happen to people who believe in miracles. But to many people, when something magical happen they say "oh its just a coincidence", or "this is something that we can explain "…

So i'm going to use this oppurtunity to ask to share miracles that happened to you to encourage others to believe in the Extraordinary.

Thank you very much,

Paulo
