I love that video and have used it at our church. It is an awesome testimony to the sovereignty of God as opposed to the idea that we are sovereign and God is our genie in a bottle to grant all our wishes. Charles Spurgeon said: "They who dive in the sea of affliction bring up rare pearls."
Kenny put that testimony in one of his sermons. It is soooooooo good!!! Awesome post:)
