“Ho…HUM…PICTURES…”
Some “PHOTOS” tell the story…BORING…
When looking for a PHOTO and saw these older PHOTOS…had to just let the whole wide world see these and give their opinion …these photos have spots on…almost too damaged to even use.
As… I remember back…these PHOTOS were taken for College. Evidently they wanted photos of the students attending back in the 1950’s – – and I just hated having my picture taken…just could not see where a picture of me would let you know – – WHO…I was and what I was like or even what I wanted to do in LIFE, then.
After having long hair for a long time…and with working and going to school – – just did not have the time to be spending lots of my VALUABLE TIME… fixing a mop of hair – every day! So…I just stood in front of a mirror and using a razor blade…started grabbing a handful of hair and sliding the blade across – – using my free hand…combing my fingers through the hair and cutting off more and more hair…till it was really nice and short…or at least …that is what I thought?
Take note of those ear-rings that I have on. When I was at work …one day…the girl sitting next to me…had these ear-rings on. I do not WHO the girl is or was at that time, but she spied the ear-rings that I was wearing that day – she liked them and ask me if she could try them on.
The ear-rings that I was wearing that day…belonged to my MOTHER…they were DIAMOND HORSE SHOE ear-rings and very valuable…and I should not have been wearing, but there I was and flattered… that someone noticed and I did let this telephone OPERATOR, next to me…try these ear-rings on. BIG MISTAKE…we were busy and she let me try her ear-rings on…and we did continued to be so busy…I did not even get a good look at WHO she was…someone I never noticed before.
Her “BREAK TIME” came …and without even saying a word to me… very quietly she did step away with my MOTHER”S ear-rings on…and then… when it was time for me to take a BREAK – – well … where was she??? I looked for the DIAMOND ear-rings…looking at everybody as well as I could…without disturbing the whole office …but evidently this gal…took advantage of me …and left that day with MY MOTHER’s EAR-RINGS – – so…I did learn an expensive LESSON…that day.
Sure hope that young people will learn a VALUABLE LESSON at my expense…do not share expensive and personal property…especially when it does not belong to you!

“Answered PRAYER”
When you remember back…twenty years or so…no “CELL PHONES” – – when you get stuck on the deserted roads…full of SNOW and layered with ICE under the SNOW…it is now dark and cold out side …everyone with any sense…left their WORK PLACE…when the getting home would have been the correct thing to do…to avoid this mess.
So…I am NOW feeling so sick…not knowing what I am going to do…I can only PRAY…like I never did before…I need a miracle to happen …and in a hurry!
Praying and Talking…to myself…NOW there is a man standing at the window of my car and knocking. I carefully open the window…the man asks me, “Do you know how to drive in this weather?” My reply is, “I guess not…can you HELP me?” The man now is saying, “Do exactly as I tell you, leave the window down…so you can hear me.” “Put the car in neutral…turn the wheels …so that they are straight…when I tell you to give some gas…do so.”
The directions that this man is giving me…I am following… and …I am listening for further directions, as I was moving the wheels too much and I was feeling like a real DUMMY…but I was so upset…and only hoping to be able to get HOME…tonight! The man is back at the window…he NOW has some helpful words…”When you are nearing the next intersection…slow down and put the car in neutral – when sitting on ice the car will stay where you are..if you are in neutral.”
“Be ready to drive” he is telling me. “I am going behind the car…when you give the car gas…I will be guiding it from the rear…just keep going…you will be able to make it through this light…just take it easy…and use the neutral gear…when you are going to just sit somewhere…so that you will have more control in driving this vehicle”
I see the man going to the rear of the car…He waves and shouts, “GO…and be careful” – – I am moving forward and close the window as it is cold…and am looking in the rear view mirror and window and making sure that I am NOW going to make “IT” through the GREEN LIGHT…”WHERE is that MAN???”
Looking all around the area… as…I am driving away…Where in the WORLD is that MAN…that was good enough to stop by and HELP me??? There are no cars…no moving traffic…and NOW that I am thinking as I am driving…that man did not have any WINTER clothes on…nothing warm enough to be outside at night in the COLD – – and there was NO VEHICLE in sight…when he approached my car?? There are too many unanswered questions – – and I did not even say Thanks…as I did not know he would just disappear…before I could say THANK YOU!
As I was driving HOME…that is all that I could wonder about…how did that MAN get there and HELP me??? I continued to drive as He told me…and continued to PRAY…all the way HOME…as NOW I was so grateful and Thankful…because I NOW …KNEW THAT – – THAT MAN … WAS A very SPECIAL ANGEL…and there are times in your LIFE…when we will be entertaining ANGELS!
THANKS to the ALMIGHTY…for sending HIS Special ANGELS – – to help us …when we are in need…and remember to ask for HIS HELP!

“Angels are here to STAY!”
Since I was referring to ANGELS…just was wondering if…any one has at any time been in a situation…to entertain an ANGEL???
At this… TIME of the YEAR…with the bad weather…ice and snow on the ground…and so much more…having all day to pile up even more…while you are at your WORK PLACE…and with no chance of you being allowed… to leave your WORK PLACE…when driving conditions would have been… safe and good for travel. What thoughts start running through your mind???
Well…I was in such a situation.The first thing that you start to do…is get into the car or vehicle…turn the motor on…let the motor heat up…to start melting some of the frozen ice and piled up high snow. With an extra pair of gloves on…and your ice scraper in hand…you work hard at getting the ice and snow off the wind shield..and clear off that back window…so you will be able to see…what you are doing…should you need to back up.
Finally…you give it a try…move that car somewhat…get a feel – – do you have any control… at all? You do have the rear studded tires on the back wheels…are they helping??? Naturally…there is one hill and slight incline for you to maneuver….and as soon as you think you can keep on going…the light changes to red…and NOW you will have to stop! How in the world LONG…are you going to have to wait… at this light??? The car is not going to sit on ICE…there is enough of an incline at this inter-section… that the car is NOW sliding to the right…and the rear is going down…”WHAT NOW???”
The only thing that I can think to do…is to PRAY…like I never have before! The traffic LIGHT changes to GREEN…so …I am trying to slowly get this car to go straight…but it is not…the whole vehicle is very slowly sliding down the road incline… and it looks like I am going to end up in the ditch??? I am NOW in TEARS…it looks like I am going to be stuck here all NIGHT!
This is the worst feeling…having a car that will not move…into the direction you want to go…and not a soul around to HELP! I am NOW talking to myself…PRAYING…and just then a man is knocking on my window. Where did HE come from?

“ANGELS…tell THEIR STORY…”
Some of my very favorite ANGELS… Which of these ANGELS…do you know??”
There is always a STORY…sometimes we do not get to hear the whole STORY…but after a TIME…we sometimes get to hear…The Rest of the STORY!
How often do you hear…that someone is born on their Mother or Father’s Birth-date…which ends up always being a very special day…and a Day to truly CELEBRATE forever! Since we are all pre-destined to be born at and in a certain TIME …all having been arranged before everything and any other thing…with TIME SPAMS …so vast and long …between centuries… that we should marvel at the event. It is a MIRACLE…above all of the evidence.
So…looking at the PHOTOS above …of our ANGELS…this is the STORY…that I was allowed to hear about.
Way back in TIME…as the different ANGELS were getting in the LINE-UP of when their TIME would be…to enter upon the STAGE of EARTH – – – looks like my son Al…saw that he would be… one of my SONS…and then… looking as far as he was allowed … into the FUTURE of his TIME and DESTINY…AL saw that he would be having a DAUGHTER …within HOURS of his own BIRTH DATE.
One of the important things that we are all told…is that if we do not understand something…ASK and you will receive… an ANSWER. So…that is what Al did. Al found out… that there are certain important ANGELS…that are also called “Messengers” – like GABRIEL and MICHAEL and several others. With that information…Al checked out to find that by asking…that he would be able to receive his request.
Instead of Al being delivered at eleven o’clock on the eighth of January and getting his MOTHER to co-operate by being in LABOR a little longer…till twelve-fifty-eight in the morning …Al would have a BIRTH-DATE on the Ninth of January.
Everything is just HUNKY-DORY…no one knows that … for sure…that which will happen… nothing really for sure…that is until it does!!!
Isn’t it just wonderful…Al’s daughter, ALYSSA…took her TIME … but… she did decide… at almost the very last moment …to be delivered on the NINTH of JANUARY…and that has made Al…a very HAPPY and PROUD to be DADDY! DV
