Look at us.

Why'd it take

something like this

to bring our family together?

It's the unmiracle.

What's that?

It's just something someone

very wise once told me.

No, what's that?

Oh.

When Kayla went into the

hospital the first time,

I bought her this watch as a

symbol of her mother's love.

And I found it in her

drawer this morning.

It stopped.

Mom, don't worry.

We can fix it.

I don't have any money.

$70.

Well, that's more

than it's worth.

God will fix it.

So Kayla knows that I

will always love her.

If we just pray about it.

I have cancer again, Cassie.

Mom, are you sure?

I started chemo last week.

Would it be okay if I

stayed here for a time?

That would be wonderful.

That's the best news

I heard all year.

[inaudible]

[gasping] Kayla!

[gasping]

[laughter]

[upbeat music playing]

Two choices right

In front of me

The road I take is laced

With the taste of free bread

Two faces and hard to read

Like a million reasons you

Keep on giving

Guess you don't have

Faith in me

Guess you don't have

Faith in me

Thank you for saving me.

Anytime, Kayla.

So why do you have two watches?

Well this one tells

the time in Sri Lanka.

And I wear this one

because my mom got it

for me, when I was little.

Doesn't work, though.

So how do you tell time here?

I use my phone, obvi.

It gives me up to the

minute stock reports.

Yo. Yo.

My God, Look.

The minute hand, it was on

the cat and now it's

on the rose.

Oh my god, this

is working again.

It hasn't worked

in like five-ever.

God must be telling

you something.

You better listen.

[upbeat music playing]

You're looking casual, today.

A new look for you.

I'm not going to go

out tonight.

Oh.

Do you feel okay?

I could get you something.

Kayla--

Listen, I only went out with

you 'cause

I thought you could score

me pills for free.

And I sort of thought

you were cute.

Really?

I'm sorry, D. It's just--

I've been really messed

up for a long time.

But now that I'm clean, I

can't believe some of the stuff

that I did.

Like go out with me?

Like use you for drugs, dude?

I'm not going to do

it to you anymore.

I don't mind.

Danny.

There are real friends, and

then there are drug friends.

I don't want

another drug friend.

I don't want any drug friends.

Then let me be a real friend.

I'm sure that you would

be, but honestly,

I don't know if I can be

anything other than

a drug friend to anybody.

I need time to figure this out.

Let me help you.

Thank you, really, you've

always been so sweet to me.

It's really something

that I have to do alone.

Goodbye, Danny.

You're just starting

all this rehab junk

because you want to get

out of going to jail.

No jail.

The state's got a

911 overdose law.

They can't charge

you with possession

if you call 911 for

an overdose.

What?

Yeah.

They couldn't

charge me for OD'ing,

and they can't charge

you for calling.

And don't worry about

the pills.

I told them that I got them

from some guy in the park.

You're in the clear, as long

as you keep your mouth shut.

I don't believe it.

The Lord works in

mysterious ways.

I don't believe any of

that invisible man crap.

Just because you

can't see something

doesn't mean it isn't real.

Can I see you tomorrow?

I got this thing I gotta do.

What?

I gotta see someone.

Who?

Someone I haven't seen in ages.

Who?

Goodbye, Danny.

So, what?

You're just gonna forgive him?

You don't understand.

This isn't about that.

What do you mean?

Don't you remember

everything he did to us?

He does not deserve

your forgiveness.

This isn't for him.

It's for me.

[music playing]

Okay, God.

I need a sign.

Something.

Anything.

So I know that you're real.

And that I'm not alone.

I really want to believe.

[knocking]

[knocking]

[knocking]

Dad.

[crying]

I've lied.

I took an oath.

A solemn promise to do bad.

A solemn promise to

do bad is not solemn.

Jesus can save you.

Even from the devil?

Especially from the devil.

You have to take responsibility

for your own actions.

I thought it was to

protect my friends.

But it was just to protect me.

Someone got hurt.

Someone I loved.

And for that, we

must make restitution

to the ones we've hurt.

[door opens]

Hi.

My name is Dean Jones.

I gave heroin to

Kayla Stevenson.

And I'm actually here

to turn myself in.

Oh.

Take a seat.

We'll be with you

in just a minute.

[slow music playing]

There's that guy in the

Corner of the room

Standing all alone

Talking to the moon

But he's not alone

Oh no

That girl sitting

Over there

I saw what an ugly dress

Did you see her hair

She got no friends

She's not alone

You are not alone

So, when is this

going to be over?

Don't worry, it'll be fun.

I'll see you inside man.

Come on, I gotta get a hug.

Love you too, Dean-o.

Hi, Karen.

Hi.

You look terrible.

I know.

I haven't been

sleeping very much.

I...

...think that God has

been trying to talk

to me in my dream that--

it sounds crazy, I know.

No, this is good.

And here I thought

you hadn't changed.

Everything's changed.

You coming?

No.

God we thank you

for this miracle.

Now if anyone needs proof

that miracles do exist,

all we have to do is turn to

the person sitting next to us.

Now ladies and gentlemen, we

have a special treat

for you today.

From Gary, Indiana, Reggie

Hogan and One Nation.

[MUSIC - REGINALD HOGAN AND ONE

NATION]

At least once in our life,

every one of us falls

into darkness.

But no matter

how deep you sink,

no matter how lost, or alone.

No matter how scared, no

matter how dark, somewhere,

there is always light.

Because Jesus is everywhere.

I didn't always

understand this.

Once I was lost.

Danny boy.

Hey, Ma.

But that's the unmiracle.

You have to be lost

before you're found.

Kit-Kat, hey!

It's been so long.

Here's to being a

really, really bad cop.

Here-here.

And I will bless the

Lord at all times.

And His praise shall

continually be in my mouth.

This is the day that the Lord

has made, so let us all rejoice

and be glad in it.

I don't know about

you, but I found out

that the great spirit

of the Lord in your life

is that you're a

miracle yourself.

I need you to tell

your neighbor,

neighbor, when you look at me,

you're looking at a miracle.

If you believe that,

give God some praise.

Hallelujah.

Every one of us is

bound to each other.

Through good or bad,

thick and thin,

harvest or famine.

I used to feel alone.

I'm here just for myself.

But when I opened my heart to

Jesus, I found out the truth.

I am not alone.

No one is.

He is with us, watching,

waiting for us to reach out

our hand and hear Him say,

I love you.

You are not alone.
