Acts 8:40-41 The first original tele-transport (like star trek)

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.TOO BLESSED TO COMPLAIN!
  Remember today, someone may be stressed, having a rough day, or just plain frustrated - they need to remember to be nice and we need to show God's love.  Maybe this will push them over the rough spot and sailing will be smooth thereafter.
   Okay, Philip witnessed to the eunuch from Ethiopia, who was elated and suddenly, yes, suddenly Philip disappeared.  Where did he go?  The eunuch did not appear to notice as he was rejoicing in his salvation.
   39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
   A miracle happens at this very instant, Philip is caught up by the Spirit of the Lord and taken to Azotus.  Where?  Azotus, the old philistine city of Ashdod,  which is today a small city 18 miles Norteast of Gaza.
  Philip traveled along the coast, preaching and sharing the word of God on his way to Caesarea.  Philip was one of the miracles seen after Jesus left, being taken from one place to another in the twinkling of God's eye.  Amazing!  His preaching was a refreshing treat considering all the persecution to Christians that was happening at this time.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
    Miracles are still alive and well today, we just don't look for them, expect them, or explain them away.  Take time today to just look around at the miracles God have created.  If you don't believe you can find one just look in the mirror - you, yes, YOU ARE A MIRACLE!  Created by God!  Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
