    According to Aimee Miracles are still possible.

    I was born too late to meet her. However, I grew up in the Foursquare Church with neighbors and friends. I never really thought of it as unique but was amazed when I moved from California to Texas and found one here.

    Anyway, this is part of all our cultural history and needs to be watched. For those interested in Los Angles politics there are interesting insights as to its working.

    The presentation shows actual photos and movie dramatizations. We get to see this in a sound bite mode so as Aimee grows up each presenter gets to say one line or two at each milestone.

    The only drawback is that you can only say so much in this brief period.
