Thanks Jim!
     Terrific series! We have really enjoyed it, especially those precious memories of Sarah's healing in Part 3. 
     This report reminds me of a healing service that New Covenant Church (NCC) held at Warwick High School sometime in the period 1973 -1976 during one of their Bible conventions.  After reading your report below, I'm convinced that it was the same incident that you report in your 4th paragraph below.
     Here's my take - (actually, much of which was written before I read your account).    
     There was a very prominent single brother of NCC with a noticeably withered arm (I estimate it was a good inch or more  shorter than his other arm). I don't remember who the evangelist was, but I'll never forget what happened. As the evangelist laid hands and prayed for the man, we all watched and saw the arm grow-out equal to the other out-stretched arm, then all of a sudden the arm snapped-back to its original length.
     Who knows why? But your thoughts and moral of the story seem absolutely plausible.  Brother Tom Jones, great man of faith, was officiating at the service, but I also forget just how he reacted to all this. But that sight has plagued me ever since, however, I  pray for the BITL whenever I think of that incident.

    Yes! Jesus is very much alive right now and we are about to witness that fact (in our new bodies) very soon. Maranatha!
