Rick, did you ever stop to think that this fellow might have been an angel.
Reading that paragraph made me think of that. Ask Duane, he and his wife know
about that because it happened to them.
*True-
I'll just say it straight..
While I was on my Wilderness vigil all night with JFlory.. it
was
reqiuired that I leave my family in camp. They decided to go to
town in my old Jeep. This town was 900 miles away from
home,
and when they went to start the Jeep it would not fire...
A "dred or heavyness" came on them called "I don't know what to do"
*Cdr.Jen and Josh began to pray... As they looked up, accross
the street
in Aryo Grande, a man walked directly over, and introduced himself
as
a "mechanic who is down here from Washington state for a visit... Pop
the hood and let me look at it.."
They did, and he quickly "did something" and the Jeep started right
up and
idled<G> As Josh went to close the hood and Jen tried to say
"Thanks"
he vanished..
One time, I was between jobs during the Reagan resission in 1980 sumbthing..
I managed to break my leg playing softball and had it in a cast. I
had applied
for what I thought was the perfect job in a small school district out
in the
woods... and on a perticular date I was to call in for a "decision"
That day happened to fall on a preplanned vacation trip to lake Tahoe
in the Sierras, and I went and we camped and I called from a pay phone
by "Fallen leaf lake"
*I didn't make an interview or earn a pleasent word of encouragement.
I felt lower than a whales rudder, and kind of numb from the "let-down"
and I hobbeled over with my broke leg to sit on the beach...
Down the
side of the lake came a man.. He stopped and spoke to me.
"It's hard to ignore the beauty that surrounds us here... but people
do all the time. We are the lucky ones to be here and share this
view of God's wonderment. To think he made all this... and has
a plan for each of our lives... makes me happy. How about you?"
*I looked back and said: "Yup, it's a beautiful day, and Thanks.."
The man walked off, and I felt the gloom lift<G>

Youd did learn a great lesson by not trying to cram salvation down peoples
throats. God will give the opportunity but it takes the Holy Spirit to bring
conviction before people will accept salvation. You seem to be taking the
right approach.
Merry Christmas:):)>
Watch yer top knot, keep yer powder dry and yer nose to the wind, and may the
Blackfeet be upwind when you pass and may you be 20 miles away before they
smell yer stinkin hide. WAUGH
