Asking for Miracles

Orginally published on Friday, May 05, 2006 at 9:14 AM

We need more people that will believe in miracles... people like "Little Richard Miller". (Purgatorio has some GREAT stuff this week!)

This is from an actual album cover... it's a picture of "Little Richard Miller" in an outdoor setting sitting at some kind of piano or organ; his beautiful tour bus sitting in the background; and a nice inset picture of Jesus.

The title of the album is "Jesus Use Me"

But look closer at the picture and the caption on the album cover. It says, "Little Richard Miller -- born with no arms or legs".

I have no intention of being mean or callous here, but...

... what exactly is Little Richard going to do with that organ? And what's he going to do it with?

No wonder the title is "Jesus Use Me"

For real... does anyone know the Little Richard Miller story.

I'm probably really terrible, but it just struck me as funny. (in an 'odd/funny' kind of way)

I really hope Little Richard Miller got his miracle.

If you’re terrible, then I’m worse - I snickered at it. I wonder what the album sounds like…

Cruel? Maybe, but the cover photo reminds me of the local sherrif where I used to live… he bought a used RV-bus that had belonged to a traveling evangelist… It said “miracles signs and wonders...” on the back. We always teased him that it was already gutted when he bought it and the MSW was almost worn out....

Just wondering if this guy is real or just fodder for all kinds of theological could be’s.

Gives a little more info on the guy. Sounds like a real miracle case to me.

However Jesus can use him, I say Amen. But I find it hard to believe Jesus is using him to play that piano.

Why couldn’t God use someone with no arms or legs to play an organ, there are plenty of people with no faith or brain leading churches?

Maybe he is going to play it by ear. But that could really give him a headache.

I met Little Richard Miller in 1967 at at Baptist Church in Memphis, TN. That happens to be the same year that Jesus forgave me and took over my life. You ask what is “Little Richard Miller” going to do with the piano (and it is a piano, not an organ). What he is doing with it is playing it like a professional along with the guitar and I have had the album since 1967. For those who say that there are people that God cannot use, Little Richard is an excellent example of their limited thinking. If Little Richard still lives, I pray that God is still blessing him and his ministry mightily.

I think it’s awesome! Wow the guy even made albums, not all that easy to do.
Definitely had guts.

I think it’s an organ. I think I see an expression pedal, not a damper pedal, and those sure look like preset tabs above the keyboard.
