Palm Desert, Calif: A Miracle At St. Margaret's Outreach Center

Palm Desert, Patch:

"This is tough times for everybody. Even if you were wealthy, you are less wealthy than you were before,'' said The Rev. Lane Hensley of St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church in Palm Desert, Calif. "But what I'm seeing is people's generosity around things like this shooting through the roof."

Just three weeks ago, the shelves at St. Margaret's Outreach Center in Palm Desert were bare, and up to 80 families were expected to come by to pick up food boxes.

But with one phone call, and a relationship between two dynamic Palm Desert congregations, those shelves were packed within a few days, according to Chet Hect, the outreach director at St. Margaret's Episcopal Church in Palm Desert.

I'm a christian, and I have toagree with most here. The only miracle that I see is that anyone has food that they are able to donate.

Turning the hearts of people to help others. This is what I call a *real* "act of God"! I love reports like this! I hope it will inspire more people to do the same all around the world.

For a crowd doesn't believe in electricity, I can indeed see the telephone being a bit of a wonder.

that is not a miracle.

unexplained phenomena or phenomenon is a miracle.

the materialists explain all phenomena no matter what it takes and the religious give god credit for a phone call.
