Our new Mysterious Ways magazine has kept me busy lately (find out more on our Facebook page), but I didn't want to miss sharing some stunning miracles of the past few weeks with you. One feature in our new mag is "Wonderful World," a round-up of miraculous news stories from around the globe. Here are three such stories that caught my attention recently:

We're hard at work on the first issue of Mysterious Ways magazine, a new bimonthly publication dedicated solely to those stories you love so much, those mysterious glimpses of God's grace and God's love at work in our lives.

(We're not taking orders just yet, but if you "Like" us on Facebook, you'll be among the first to be notified when we are.)

In the sitcom Seinfeld, George Costanza worried about his “two worlds colliding”—the world of his romantic relationship and the world of his friends. But I’ve seen wonderful things happen when two sides of our lives are brought together by Mysterious Ways.

Pit bulls get a bad rap. They're often viewed as violent, unpredicatble and poorly behaved, even though there is nothing to indicate they're different from any other dog breed. Call it dog prejudice, if you will. One bad apple, and all the rest get called rotten.

But at least one pit bull can genuinely be called a hero this week.

Do you have "Friggatriskaidekaphobia"?

That's the word to describe fear of Friday the 13th. And not just the horror movie; the day itself. If you have friggatriskaidekaphobia, chances are you called in sick to work today and are hiding in bed under the covers until the clock reads 12:01 AM.

Today is Good Friday, and the first night of Passover. Both Easter and Passover mark pivotal turning points for the Judeo-Christian faiths-- the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, and the liberation of the Jews from slavery in Egypt.

I just had to share the photo below, and the story that goes with it. Unlike some photos of this nature which have made their way around the Internet, this one is entirely real.

March Madness is here, and as we’ve seen, even this annual sporting pastime can have its share of Mysterious Ways (and I’m not just talking about the upsets).

To those not of the Jewish faith, Purim must seem like a pretty strange Jewish holiday. I am Jewish, and it always seemed odd to me. We dress up in costumes, shake and wave noisemakers around and eat triangle-shaped cookies meant to resemble either an evil man's hat or his ears (depending on your interpretation).

But the strangest part of this "Jewish Halloween" may be the story of the holiday itself. Unlike other events commemorated by the Jews, this story is missing a pretty major character: God.
