It was the kind of nightmare every parent fears. A wrongly diagnosed illness. Another wrongly diagnosed illness. Then a lifeless 4-year-old boy rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery for a an appendix that had ruptured five days earlier. When it was all over, Colton survived and recovered. But that was just the beginning of the amazing saga. Four months later, Colton began telling his parents things he could not have known. "Mom, I have two sisters," he said. "You had a baby die in your tummy didn't you?"

I was taking pictures of the flowers at the funeral home where my dad was. When we got them developed, my daughter showed us the angel in the picture. He was standing near the casket. Very odd.
“I know of unexplained experiences people have had in their lives that make you shake your head in wonder.”
I know what you mean. I have had a few of those experiences myself.
The only explanation for me was God.
You will not or was a request made that you don’t talk about it? Just a rhetorical question.
Be very careful. A`persona with GOD is a one on one. Folks should never question where a person stands. He says not to do this. It is a strange and 5th world that some vaguely receive. It may be a tell, it will be attacked.
I’m in the operating room right now (taking a break, actually, so that’s why I’m FReeping). I love the thought of angels being here with me. Please pray for me, that I will always be guided by our Divine Physician.
St Rene Groupil, patron of anesthetists, pray for us.
Very kind of you. A rhetorical question requires no answer.
“I believed up until I read the his book sold 500,000 copies, part.”
If that is your criteria for truth and honesty then you’ll definitely have problems with the Bible....ots been a runaway best seller for hundreds of years.... :)
(just teasing, I think I know what your difficulty is with this story...I felt the same pause whe I read the line)
I meant no snarkiness.
It’s not only Catholics, yet Protestants as well. GOD provides the ability to heal our brethren. Godspeed to you to help your patients.
I understand, If you have a question you can ask. I do not talk about some areas that concern just my understanding. Outside of that it’s OK.
Well technically the FINAL battle comes at the end of the millenial reign when Satan is loosed to disturb the nations again “for a season”. Unfortunately the Bible indicates that a great mass of humanity will rise up against The new Jerusalem and the Saints. At that point God “pulls the rug out from under temporal normality” and the final judgment occurs.
Angels are sent, among other things, to help “those who will inherit eternal life” — in other words those who trust, or that God knows will trust, in Jesus Christ for eternal life present or future. Some of God’s most stunning biblical miracles were probably also worked at His command by angels rather than by His personal supernatural intervention.
Just a caution: Angels (in the abstract) must never be allowed to steal the show from God. The obedient angels will automatically deflect attention from themselves. The disobedient angels are egotists and want lots of attention.
:^) not bad
Capitalism and Christianity are strange bedfellows. That’s not to say it can’t happen harmoniously with God’s will. Do you believe the bible any the less because generally to get a personal copy you have to go to a bookstore and buy it? Or would you do so in earlier days because you’d have to recompense a scribe for the scroll? Perhaps the openest thing to do would be to put it up on the web under a copyleft license (to assure its integrity), but if he’s got a family to look after maybe it was manna from heaven. I don’t know enough to say that writing and selling a book about it is an evil thing — do you? If you want to see it free, it’s probably in a library nearby.
Understand the tell and understand he is a part of God’s kingdom. The gift was presented.
The little detail about the father of the girl who was reported to have visited Heaven fighting in Armageddon could be true whether or not he personally dies prior to Armageddon. This is because all the saints (saved Christians) are scheduled to show up there, en masse. It will, in a sense, be an unfair fight, a cake walk, but also a satisfying end to history.
I have talked Fathers back to earth when their sons or daughters were taken. The hardest thing in the world. Letting them know that GOD is taking care of them is real. A presence will arrive and assure them.
In fact the presence was already there, if they’d only slow down, stop, and be still for a moment and listen. God is omnipresent, one of those fancy philosophical words that doesn’t mean much until it becomes a tangible comfort (or a caution).
It takes truth to understand. We battle it daily.
