I recall a scary time when I brushed shoulders with death. A blustery winter wind seeded snow with freezing rain. I got stuck on the highway in whiteout conditions. And the road was one big mess, traffic was moving too fast. Hitting a patch of black ice, I’m spinning out of control. And I’m right in the path of an on-coming tanker truck. The driver’s frightened face was visibly white with panic. Letting the steering wheel go, I was prepared to meet death. A calmness came over me, there was no panic or fear. For I knew it’d be over in a mere millisecond. Then something miraculous occurred, and my life was changed. Through Divine intervention, my car got nudged to the side. And then that tanker whizzed by with only inches to spare. I then believed and thanked God, for my guardian angel.

What an experience! I truly believe in guardian angels, Emile. I'm certain my momma is a guardian angel to me, and I know she has saved me from various kinds of disaster through my lifetime. Yes, indeed!

Thanks, Milt, some things in life are unexplained and are what add credence to faith, my friend, Emile.

Thanks, Jan, I would categorize that experience as Divine intervention, it change my life and had me reassessing my beliefs, my friend, Emile.
