Woman watched healing miracle for her painful hammer toes
From God Reports
Woman watched healing miracle for her painful hammer toes
By Ryan Zepeda —
She didn’t want to bother God with something as insignificant as pain in her toes.
Or so thought librarian Janis Jordan, who often wore high heels to work.
“It was the suit jacket days, so you show up to work looking A-plus,” she explains on a 700 Club video.
After 15 years, she left the library behind and started a career caring for special needs students at a hospital. She was on her feet even more. She walked three miles every day inside the hospital.
After several years, she finally consulted a doctor who diagnosed hammer toe syndrome, probably induced by the high heels. A hammer toe or contracted toe is a deformity of the muscles and ligaments of the second, third, fourth, or fifth toe causing them to bend, resembling a hammer. The joints can become so rigid they can’t be moved.
The doctor started talking about surgery, and Janis wanted none of it. So she endured the pain for another 10 years.
“I’m a person who keeps on moving, and I just accommodated the pain,” Janis says. “I just didn’t really focus on it, to really pay attention to it.”
Even though she’s a big believer in prayer, her concern seemed so small in light of others’ sufferings, she didn’t ask God for healing.
Then on July 4, 2019 after doing some yard work, Janice hurried inside to catch the prayer segment on the 700 Club television program. The host began to pray for someone with hammer toe, someone, he said, who hadn’t prayed for herself.
“You’re not even praying, but God is saying, ‘I can even restore. I can renew your youth,’” the host said, praying.
Goose bumps shot up her back. He’s talking about me, Janis thought.
As he prayed, she took off her shoes and saw her afflicted toes moving into the proper alignment — straightening before her eyes.
“They were going flat and the pain was just flowing (away) from them,” Janis says.
She was healed!
“This was my set time and just totally unexpected,” she says. “I was also very surprised, so God has the most wonderful surprises for you.”
Pain-free ever since, Janis now prays for the smallest of concerns in an intercessory prayer group.
Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? (Matthew 6:26)
“The Lord is looking,” she says. “He is looking to move on our behalf.”
A reminder that an economic stimulus has never ever led to a recovery
From Steve Kates. another reminder that every politician and nearly every economist is wrong:
A reminder that an economic stimulus has never ever led to a recovery
The stimulus actually led to a worse outcome than the predicted outcome if nothing at all was done. That is what any classical economist would have said would happen, but other than one or two here or there, no classical economists remain. So the entire profession just looked on, saw the manifest failure of the theories they all believed were true, and just blacked it out. Just as they have done on every occasion a Keynesian stimulus has been tried and inevitably failed.

Work willingly
Do your work willingly, as though you were serving the Lord himself, and not just your earthly master. In fact, the Lord Christ is the one you are really serving, and you know he will reward you. Colossians 3:23-24 CEV https://bible.com/bible/392/col.3.23-24.CEV
Rare albino turtle hatchling has slim chance of survival on Lady Elliot Island
Rare albino turtle hatchling has slim chance of survival on Lady Elliot Island

Key points:
- Researchers estimate one in every 100,000 turtle hatchlings is albino
- The lack of colour is caused by a melanin deficiency
- The hatchling has limited sight and is more visible to predators
The tiny turtle emerged from its nest this week, taking researchers on the island by surprise.
The Island’s Ecosystem Management Officer Jim Buck said the team had not expected to encounter the unique creature.
“It’s not something that we see walking down the beach regularly,” Mr Buck said.

“I believe there have been one or two observed here at Lady Elliot in the past, but it’s not something we see regularly.”
A previous sighting of a rare albino green turtle was reported on the Sunshine Coast in 2016.
Pink body, red eyes
Mr Buck said the hatchling’s unique appearance was caused by the absence of melanin.
“The amount of melanin in the system dictates the colour of the animal and in this particular instance the animal was white or pink in colour, indicating that melanin was absent or very, very low,” he said.
Survival odds slim
Researchers have estimated only one in 1,000 green turtle hatchlings survive to adulthood — and the outcomes for albino turtles are even less optimistic.
Mr Buck said poor vision and an inability to camouflage reduced albino turtles’ chances of survival.
“These little guys they struggle to get out of the nest and if they do they’re not well suited to the environment,” he said.
“We would normally expect about one in 1,000 hatchlings to return as an adult [but] in this instance, its chances would be very, very slim.”
