It is an hour-long television series that will debut Tuesday, January 24 at 10 PM, and will be hosted by author Wes Moore. Moore will be joined by ABC News correspondents Elizabeth Vargas, Bob Woodruff, Jay Schadler, Bill Weir and JuJu Chang.

Beyond Belief: The Miracle Mysteries was on ABC’s Primetime Nightline over the summer. “Nightline’s executive producer Jeanmarie Condon described the show by explaining:

“Sometimes the most interesting trips are the ones that take you places you never thought you’d go. These are mysteries in the most profound sense…Stories that defy proof and perception are the ultimate adventure – and perfect for summer – to kick off our 13 specials.”

One episode featured people from around the world who believe the Virgin Mary has appeared and communicated with them.  Another episode featured psychic phenomenon and on the July 20 episode, Bob Woodruff tried to unlock the mysteries of what he remembered in the terrible minutes after his vehicle hit an improvised explosive device and he saw his body floating below in a kind of whiteness. He spoke with others who report the same type of out-of-body experience and with theologians, preachers, neurologists, psychologists and anthropologists for “The Other Side.”

American Idol’s premiere episode last night featured a musician who overcame a suicide attempt. Watch the video below to hear her tell her story and sing ‘I will survive’ for her audition on American Idol…

The miraculous is often discounted as luck, fortuitous, accidental or just the natural part of living. However, some events that take place defy statistical probability and their only rational explanation can come from the Divine or some Higher Power. For example, scientifically verified miracles have been documented by thorough investigations such as the long-term incorruptibility of the bodies of dead saints, religious stigmata and the many miracles at Lourdes.

Additionally, many survivors of natural disasters report a state of exquisite beauty, deep surrender and peace that often precede heroic rescues. Storm Stories is a documentary on television’s the Weather Channel that shows these first-person accounts among survivors of major disasters such as a hurricane, avalanche, flood or tornado. The show also often has footage of the actual disaster along with the heroic rescues. Nearly all the survivors on the show report that they prayed deeply. Some were even lifted up by a tornado into a state of Stillness and Infinite Peace. Thus, it appears the miraculous favors those who are in state of deep faith or surrender.

Storm Stories normally airs Sunday nights on the Weather Channel. For more information you can visit http://stormstories.weather.com/

In the video clip below, Will Smith talks to Tavis Smiley about creating the life you desire.  He emphasizes how important it is to decide who you are going to be and what you want in your life.  He says in that moment of decision, the Universe will open up and get out of your way.  The underlying message is that you need to develop the mindset that you deserve to live the life of your dreams and that you are in the process of living the life of your dreams.  Once you become committed to to following your dreams, all of the obstacles in your life transform into building blocks that help you develop the necessary muscles to carry out your life purpose. 

Will Smith not only talks the talk, but he walks the walk.  He knows that his calling in life is to be actor and once remarked that it would be spiritually criminal for him to ignore his talents as an entertainer.  This type of mindset propelled him into stardom and also inspires him to give back to his community by spending his time working with inner city youth.

Will Smith’s interview with Tavis Smiley is below:

Gary Renard has created a TV series based on his Disappearance of the Universe books. According to his newsletter, it’s called The Disappearance of the Universe. He’s written (along with his co-writer and future co-executive producer, Elysia Skye) a great pilot episode and a five year Treatment for the series. They have a high powered Hollywood agent and are talking to Networks and producers.

The description from the Facebook page states:

“Journey to the past and future to reveal to the masses the shocking truth about past lives, religion, sex, death, relationships, and a radical kind of forgiveness that will help save an entire world in jeopardy.

The Plot Outline states:

“Part comedy, part historical drama, and part reincarnation mystery, The Disappearance of the Universe (D.U.) is the edgy, episodic story of Gary, a former successful guitar player and now struggling day trader who retreats to the Maine countryside in despair over a recent bankruptcy and pending lawsuit, only to find that once he arrives two mysterious strangers appear in his living room to give him an assignment.”

Angels Among US is a new TV show on CMT that show true stories of people who have had first hand experiences with Angels intersecting in their life. According to the show’s web site:

Witness events that led up to a life-changing moment and an ultimate encounter with what can only be described as an angel. These are your friends, your neighbors — everyday people who against all odds have survived extreme events from catastrophic car crashes, to apocalyptic weather, debilitating diseases and even the biggest terrorist attack in U.S. history.

Each awe-inspiring episode features three incredible true-life tales of people who faced their darkest hour and saw a light. The uplifting hour-long series presents compelling firsthand accounts of life-and- death situations with carefully crafted re-creations, to bring viewers a one-of-a-kind look at the world of angel encounters.

Each episode will conclude with a follow-up to find out just how these people been impacted, where they are today and how they’ve applied the lessons they’ve learned to their current lives. Each story and each result will be personal, profound and unique — the one common thread being that each of our subjects was truly saved by an angel.

Whether it’s a shining light or a physical presence, these subjects are here to provide living testament that angels are real. At the end of every hour, even the most hardened skeptics will find it hard to deny there are indeed angels among us.

Nicholas Sparks (Notebook Author) recently sold a TV show, Watchers, to ABC about an Archangel. The description from Hollywood Reporter yesterday says:

“The project revolves around the Archangel Raphael, who after spending centuries as a Watcher and invisibly providing support to humans in the time of need, decides to cut off his wings out of love for Sarah, a mortal woman, so that he can truly be with her for the rest of her days.  When Sarah’s life is cut short, Rafe is left to wander the Earth solo as a fallen angel. Dependent on the kindness of strangers and hunted by angels from above and below, Rafe travels undercover, performing miracles as he searches for the meaning of loss and clues to Sarah’s fate”

It kind of reminds me of City of Angels, which I thought was really inspiring…

Immaculee Ilibagiza survived the 1994 Rwandan genocide – which left a million people, including her parents, dead – by hiding in a tiny bathroom with seven other women for 91 days. She started hiding as a healthy young woman and emerged weighing 65 pounds, but her faith and willingness to forgive remained strong.

As told in her book Left to Tell, Ilibagiza accepted shelter in the home of a Rwandan pastor after tensions between Hutus and Tutsis turned into mass murder and unspeakable brutality. After hiding there for three months, she learned that most of her family had been killed. She managed to escape death, but more importantly she also found a way to escape the bitterness, cynicism and anger that leads to resignation, hatred and a desire for revenge. In IMMACULEE: HOLD ONTO HOPE, she explains how she has found the strength to not only overcome the tragedy, but to forgive the people who perpetrated it.

Some people would call her willingness to forgive a sign of weakness or tolerance. However, as you can hear in her interview below, Immaculee possesses an inner fortitude, courage and strength that is far more powerful and accomplishes much more good than any thought or action based on anger or revenge.
