Solved Mysteries

He was a hired man, and I was a hired girl. His family decided that we needed to be married so it was arranged. Lying about my age, this made me a 13 year old bride. Within a few months he was called in to the service and I returned home. 

My oldest sister's husband was overseas and she worked in a bar in Topeka, Kansas. There were two government bases there and the employees just served pitchers of beer. She called home saying that my second sister was needed. A couple months later she called again and at 15, I was on my way. 

I didn't realize at the time but I was about to encounter something I couldn't explain until much later.  

After closing, the bar employees would sit, chat and drink beer. One night at about 12:30, I was walking home and a car passed by me, it went around the block and as it came by the second time, the man pulled around as I stepped off the curb. He threw his door open and reached for me. I heard footsteps from behind me and when I looked up there stood a tall,  well dressed man, who looked to be about 70. He said "I'll walk you home" in a voice that shook the heavens, the man in the car sped away. The old man walked me all the way home.

Later, as I would share this story, I would say how lucky I was. In 1970, when I surrendered my life to the lord and started pouring through the Bible I realized, WOW, that was an angel.
