We allow people to post charitable causes, but we only sticky posts for ones that CougarBoard is actively endorsing. What was stickied in this case was the thank you, which I felt was appropriate.

"tools" of the Lord. Never thought of it that way. I definitely qualify.

Yep, I gladly donated. Thanks for judging though.

Really. If someone feels that why, who am I to disagree?

A "miracle," no. But an act of God, I think, yes.
