Proof The Bible Is True

A miraculous experience restores a couple’s souls and washes away their fears.

My husband was gravely ill. In desperation, his doctors prescribed bypass heart surgery, a new and untested procedure at the time. Bob and I were both frightened and needed a reprieve. A week before his surgery, we packed a picnic and on a glorious California day drove out to the Mojave Desert.

Bob loved the desert air, it was so dry and easy to breathe. We traveled aimlessly on back roads lined with desert flowers, yucca and the lovely palo verde tree. And then, on an off-road track, we chanced upon a path.

We left the car, and the path led us to a gentle stream of water. Such streams aren’t unheard of in the Mojave in June, but they’re rare.

We sat beside a shaded pool and over the next few hours—picnicking, sunning—we were as happy as we’d ever been during our 25 years of marriage. The water, so unexpected, so soothing as we soaked our feet, especially pleased Bob. “The Lord leadeth us beside the still waters,” he said to me. And indeed, as we talked, the waters seemed to wash away our fears. Our souls were restored.
