 :) oh!
okay!
I was just stumped because the female prisoners were SAVED at the last second and placed in another facility before the tornado hit...

but I still get your point now...and oh how we reach out for that understanding when we are near death, how we stretch in the spirit to touch the face of God and hear from Him ....His WORD! No atheists in foxholes, or prisons when there's a tornado bearing down! right?

peace
Joyce :)

It is extraordinary, miraculous, that while reading LOF 2 again I find a quote that builds, confirms and brings witness to what you observe when you stated quote : the same Force that is destruction for many (for a time) is the Source of great joy and peace for a few (soon to be all!).

I have been guided to contemplate this very insight over the past few days. Here is the trigger quote written by Ray Smith found in LOF 2 quote : Judgement has both a positive and a negative side. That is judgment itself CONTAINS BOTH. (Caps mine to present emphasis)

Like the tree of good and evil has the same root. And God does not change! We have to and are being made to via circumstances and the Will of God!

Peace to you brother

Arcturus :)

Amazing that Joe had spoken with you Arcturus and then the Graden event transpired; Joe, maybe you could rub alittle of that off that peace that passes all understanding over in this direction ;) ;D

Sorin:
What are the odds, aye? That has got to be more than 'dumb-luck'. Unless of course you're Atheist, who doesn't believe in God, or Christian
who believes in a god that isn't in control-and while he may have wanted those prisoners to leave that building knowing what will soon happen to it, he couldn't interfere with their free-will and "cause" them to leave-or be escorted out of there by the prison guards.

I am amazed how Christians can't notice things like this, and see the flaws in their doctrines.

Hi Joyce,

Yes! You know as the winds were picking up and the tornado became visable the anxiety, fear and stress was accelerating probably as fast as the the air was swirling, God became very real to many as the pleading prayers were being thought or spoken. All of this was going on as I was slightly aware of a peaceful rain and light breeze that lulled me back to a comfortable, restful sleep.

As bad as it may have been to experience the anxiety, imagine the relief when they all were brought to safety, joyful may be an appropriate word, don't you agree?

His Peace and Wisdom to you,

Joe
