What is trauma? Can we experience trauma and not recognise it as such?
If we have experienced any level of trauma how do we find hope and healing?

People have been debating miracles for years. Are they real? Can they still happen today?
I’m sure there are good points for both sides of the argument but it’s not something I can debate. I’ve experienced a miracle of healing myself so I have no option but to believe.
My regular Wednesday morning guest on 98.5 Sonshine FM is Ross Clifford who is the Principal of Morling College in New South Wales and current President of the Baptist Union of Australia. Each week we chat about a range of issues relating to spirituality and belief.
Last week, in the lead up to Good Friday, we discussed the trials of Jesus and the injustice of those trials. This week it was time to look at the miracle of the empty tomb.
Do you believe the miracles of the Bible actually happened? Did Jesus truly rise from the dead?
Yesterday we discussed miracles from the scriptures and then moved to modern day miracles.
If we believe in the miracles in the Bible do we still have faith that miracles can happen today?
Ross and I discussed some modern day miracles and the experiences that we’ve both had.
My experience happened in 1987 on my first ever bicycle ride across Australia. I’d never done any long distance riding before that and so I had set my saddle too low. The added strain of days of riding between 160 and 200 kilometres a day took its toll a week or so into the ride. My knees were severely damaged.
We adjusted the saddle but the damage had already been done.
The pain got worse every day. It was excruciating.
As we rode into one town halfway across the country I was in tears with pain in both knees. I knew that I couldn’t ride any further with that level of pain.
That night I prayed that God would ease back the pain just enough for me to continue riding the next day. I was now totally dependent on him. If the pain was still as intense the next day I would be able to take no further part in the fundraising ride I was on.
When I woke up I started preparing for the day. Then it hit me. The pain hadn’t reduced just a little … it was gone. My knees were working perfectly normally with not even a hint of pain. This had been an all-consuming pain that was getting increasingly worse. Things like that don’t just disappear.

I’d be interested to read your thoughts on miracles and of any miracles that you’ve experienced.

Our discussion today started by reflecting on the apology that the Australian Federal Parliament had issued to the Stolen Generations ealier in the day.
Our main topic however was the value of crystals in healing.
The popularity of crystals rises and falls from time to time and it seems that they are currently seeing a resurgence of interest from a variety of people.
Do crystals contain healing energy? Should we use or avoid crystals?
