Even Osteen has plagiarized himself. I was trying to find a video of the sermon about the woman who lost the diamond necklace to put it on this article and googled another story of lost jewelry found by faith by Osteen. His wife once lost a valuable family ring and God found it for her miraculously in a crack in the car glove box. Ooo, tell me the astronauts on the International Space Station plucked it out of space and it might raise my eyebrow.
