[gentle music] Hello, welcome to Follow Him Favorites. This is where John and I are sharing a single story to go with each week's Come, Follow Me lesson. John, it's Easter here at Follow Him. I thought I would share with you a story that I think will speak to what we all hope. We hope and expect that our loved ones who we have lost are interested in us. We will have those reunions one day. This story was told by our friend Robert Millet, who has been on our podcast many times. He starts his story this way. He says, "Answers to prayer usually come in quiet ways to mortals through the mediation of the Holy Spirit and through the intervention of other mortals. There are times, however, when God chooses to do the unusual." He says, "This is an intensely personal experience." He was talking about he and his wife, they were praying for one of their children because this child, this son, had completely separated himself, not just from the church, but from his family entirely. He became addicted to drugs and buried himself in a hellish world that held out little hope for him. John, not just like religion, but life.
