John 20:11-31
Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name. (vv. 30-31) For the past few years I have been documenting “signs” in my life – actual events that have happened to me where I feel that God has spoken or acted. Thus far I have noted 14 of these signs – six of which I refer to as miracles, seven where I feel God spoke to me, and one strange “coincidence”. I’m sure there are more; as I remember them I keep a log on my computer. These signs are important to me in both a personal sense and in sharing the gospel. In a personal sense I can rest assured that God is at work in my life. In sharing the gospel I have heard it said that nonbelievers can argue theology with you, but they can’t argue personal events in your life. They can choose not to believe you, but they can’t deny that the event happened. As I work through these signs, John’s words come true for me, …that by believing you [I] may have life in His name.

I’m going to follow your lead and review each day for “signs.” Thanks for idea.
A good plan, Jim, but I’m not sure I see any “signs” every day – unless, of course, the miracle of Creation itself. When I mentioned 14 signs, I’ve looked back over my entire born-again life!
