At 4 a.m., 23-month-old child found suspended in middle of pond while two cougars, a pack of coyotes, and a copperhead were nearby.

"This is what it means to be held" as the song goes.

It truly is a miracle, but in the future, they should put a high spring loaded lock on that slider door.

[Joya]

Ping. Miracle in Oklahoma.

[visualops]

wow what an amazing story

[Joya]

AMEN. And a cowbell.

[Cindy]

Ditto.

[Hattie]

So was the door open? Don’t think a 23 month old could reach up and open a sliding door. They are heavy. Something fishy about this story.

**“He walked out to get her, and the water was well up past his waist,” said Shanna. “When he got to her, though, the water wasn’t even up to her waist, and she wasn’t standing on anything. It had to have been God holding her up. Gibbie was in shock when he saw it, and really had no explanation other than a miracle.” **

“Be not afraid, I am with you always.”

The best way to secure a sliding door is a dowel or broomstick cut to fit in the slide but about one inch short. You’s have to tear out the door to get it open from outside. Trick I learned as a cop. Has stopped many a burglar.

I didn’t know they had cougars in Oklahoma!

[Joya]

Yep. Barefoot and crossed two barbed wire fences in the dark. An angel must have been holding her hand.

[Joya]

Depends on the child and depends on the glass door.

[Joya]

Amen. God is good.

His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He cares for me.

[Fichori]

That story makes me smile.

Thanks for posting.

[Kevmo]

Cool.

[Joya]

A plain old broomstick, eh? Excellent.

TWO MOUNTAIN LIONS CONFIRMED IN WESTERN OKLAHOMA
The push East continues. On October 29, 2005, Ron Mills, the manager of Black Mesa State Park, encountered two mountain lions traveling together in the park. They were apparently stalking several deer that were bedded near the residence. The larger cat went into the brush before Mr. Mills was able to get a photo, but he was able to get a good photograph of the second smaller cat as it walked away (see below). He later confirmed tracks made by the larger animal. Ron has been the park’s manager since 2003

i SUSPECT that future fact checking will prove this to be a true one.

I doubt it’s on the fact checking sites yet.

You haven't been around any two-year-olds have you? They could probably figure out a combination lock faster than a safe cracker and move objects to get to said lock.

It is a heartwarming story. Thanks for stopping by. Have a blessed Sunday.
