About four years ago we moved to Waco then later to Lorena. Our experience living in Lorena/Waco has reached a pinnacle in our family. The experiences are far enough in the past that we can tell stories about the time in the same vein as telling stories about the pioneers or our childhood!
On two recent occasions I told the following story (Shawnie will correct need to correct the details, I'm sure...but here goes anyway).
While living in Lorena, one day we were moving furniture around. [I believe it was to take down the Christmas decorations. Whatever the reason, we were moving the TV.] In the process, I placed the TV on the couch to lighten the TV stand for moving. After turning around from depositing the heavy load, I heard a loud bang. To my horror, I turned around to find the TV up-side-down on the floor!
We didn't have much hope that it would work and as a poor student family, we didn't have the funds to replace the TV. Our concerns were soon realized. Plugging in the TV, we found the screen produced Twilight Zone ghosts dancing on the screen.
None-the-less, we decided to keep the TV. The sound worked fine and Shawnie surmised that at least the children could listen to Sesame Street, even if they couldn't see it. So we finished moving things around and placed the TV back on the stand.
The TV continued to function in the same manner for about a week, then much to our surprise, it began working again! The day following its miraculous recovery the explanation of the TV's recovery was revealed. A faith-filled young Brittany had offered a prayer to her Heavenly Father asking that the TV be fixed. The prayer was answered. To this day we still use the TV!
