Over the centuries, other stories of miraculous happenings relating to Sabbath day observance have been preserved.
One is the story of the cobbler working under one of the megalith stones in Avebury, near Stonehenge, England:
"One Sunday,' wrote John Saunders in his journal for August 13, 1712, 'a cobbler was mending of shoos under one of these great stones.
The minute he rose the stone fell down and broke in pieces on the very ground where he sat which made him see the great providence of God in preserving him alive and so deter him from braking the Sabbath for which reason he never more worked on the Sabbath day.'"
A more recent miracle occurred at the Wells Stake Welfare Tannery some years ago where hides of animals were tanned into leather.
One regular workdays, the hides were removed from the vats and fresh lime placed in the vats, after which the hides were returned to the lime solution.
If the hides were not turned on holidays, they would spoil.
But the change was never made on Sunday, and there were no spoiled hides on Monday.
Explained J. Lowell Fox, the supervisor of the tannery at the time:
"This brought a strange fact to our minds: holidays are determined by man, and on these days just as on every week day, the hides need to have special care every twelve hours. Sunday is the day set aside by the Lord as a day of rest, and He makes it possible for us to rest from our labors as He has commanded.
The hides at the tannery never spoil on Sundays.
This is a modern-day miracle, a miracle that happens every weekend!"

The Dream
I was with my sister, and she was panicking because she couldn't find her ipod. She'd got all her other electronics her phone, itouch and some other device, but couldn't find her ipod anywhere even though she was sure that she'd had it when she left the house.
