The "longer" you look at this picture, the "more" you see. Look at the lines the artist used to draw this picture of Christ.. It is of scenes from Christ's life.

Divine Intervention?

Have you ever been witness to or known someone who has been involved in an incident that could only be described as divine intervention?


I remember an event that happened several years ago that profoundly affected me and many others that found out about it. I used to argue with my first husband, Chris, about which way way the fastest route to my business address. He would go the main route and I would go "the back way." If we left at the same time we usually arrived there at the same time. So the competition about who was right was really a joke between us. One morning I was over there early and something needed to be fixed right away. I called Mr. Fix-it right away and he agreed to come. Something compelled him the take "the back way" this time. This was really strange and completely out of character for him to do this. He drove down Potawatatomie Street just minding his own business. He observed a woman screaming hysterically in the street. Reluctant to become involved in what appeared to be a domestic dispute he drove by her intending to ignore it. But suddenly he stopped and leaped out of his truck and went back. The woman was now screaming coherently enough so he could understand the only words she could get out.. "My baby!!! My BABY!!!" Chris couldn't see the problem. He looked frantically around and to his horror discovered that a small child was lying in the street with the wheel of the screaming woman's heavy-duty truck resting on and crushing the child's head. Chris spotted a old man watching from the sidewalk and yelled for him to come help. Together the two men miraculously lifted the heavy truck off of the child and pulled him gently out safely away from further harm. The small boy was neither breathing nor was his heart beating and he was extremely blue. Quick as a wink Chris went to work on him giving him CPR and mouth to mouth resuscitation. He kept it up until the rescue squad arrived and took over. The child was rushed to the hospital..then life-flighted to University of MI hospital. His skull was fractured and he had other severe injuries. It was touch and go for a few days but he survived. He had to learn to walk and talk all over again but his prognosis was to make a slow but complete recovery. Everyone who saw what happened couldn't believe my ex could lift that truck off that baby with no help except a man in his 80's. I think something divine was at work here..don't you? I am reminded of this amazing event every time I hear the song.. "Angels Among US" by Alabama. The baby's mother really believed Chris was an angel sent to save her baby. I believe there were unseen hands helping him. What do you think?

Rusty Recluse??

One of my dearest internet friends, Ralph, suggested I write about friends today. Where do I even begin? I have known many friendships in my lifetime to this point. They vary in length, depth and character as do my interests. I never forget the friends I have known. The imprints of themselves they leave on me never fade but become a part of me for all time. It's very difficult for me to let go of people but that does seem to often be in the nature of friendship. People move in and out of our lives constantly as we move along the road of life. As we get older reaching out to make new ones often seems like a daunting task. This is especially true of those of us who still battle with shyness. Moving to a new area is the biggest challenge to me friendship-wise. I have made excuses for myself like "taking care of an almost invalid makes it nearly impossible to cultivate friends" or "I like being a hermit (lol)". But now Mom has passed on and it's been over two years now. I find myself facing the stark reality of serious loneliness. My husband is the best friend I'll ever have but I yearn for more friendships. Maybe one of these days I'll break out of myself and really give it a try..soon as I figure out how...
