Gregor: God is in control. He spoke at a dinner, and gave his story there. I got to meet him. I thought about writing his story. It is absolutely true and my point is that he lives in New York and was not a fisherman. He has been around the world previously, as an Evangelist. He was in FL, to see his relatives, and his cousin was the fisherman. He was clueless, but directed his cousin, till they caught the catch of a lifetime. God used him to rescue that small boy, and I am more than happy to locate his picture and send it to you. He is not a fraud. The press messed up, by labeling him a fisherman. He continued to visit the boy and was awakened in the middle of the night, knowing that he was supposed to travel to see Elian again. He got there just before Janet Reno's crew barged in. He is in the picture. As a result, a typically democratic region voted for Bush, so God was in control and used Reno's actions to throw the election. Who knows, maybe it cost her the FL election vs. Jeb Bush. I talked to Donato and he spoke at a very important dinner. That is the "real" story, which the press was not giving. You know that an evangelist can be in a any line of work. We are all called to share our "Faith!!"

I thought this was neat! It was e-mailed to me this morning: GOOSEBUMP TIME Like the Bible teaches we must all have a child like faith to know and see God. Howard County Sheriff Jerry Marr got a disturbing call one Saturday afternoon a few months ago. His 6-year-old grandson Mikey had been hit by a car while fishing in Greentown with his dad. The father and son were near a bridge by the Kokomo Reservoir when a woman lost control of her car, slid off the bridge and hit Mikey at a rate of about 50 mph. Sheriff Marr had seen the results of accidents like this and feared the worst. When he got to Saint Joseph Hospital, he rushed through the emergency room to find Mikey conscious and in fairly good spirits. Mikey, what happened?" Sheriff Marr asked. Mikey replied, "Well, Papaw, I was fishin' with Dad, and some lady runned me over, I flew into a mud puddle, and broke my fishin' pole and I didn't get to catch no fish!" As it turned out, the impact propelled Mikey about 500 feet, over a few trees and an embankment and in the middle of a mud puddle. His only injuries were to his right femur bone which Mikey had surgery to place pins in Otherwise the boy is fine. Since all the boy could talk about was that his fishing pole was broken, the Sheriff went out to Wal-mart and bought him a new one while he was in surgery so he could have it when he came out. The next day the Sheriff sat with Mikey to keep him company in the hospital. Mikey was enjoying his new fishing pole and talked about when he could go fishing again as he cast into the trash can. When they were alone, Mikey, just a matter-of-fact, said, "Papaw, did you know Jesus is real?" "Yes, Jesus is real to all who believe in him and love him in their hearts." "No," said Mikey. "I mean Jesus is REALLY real." "What do you mean?" asked the Sheriff. "I know he's real 'cause I saw him." said Mikey, still casting into the trash can. "You did?" "Yep," said Mikey. "When that lady runned me over and broke my fishing pole, Jesus caught me in his arms and laid me down in the mud puddle." GOD WILL DO THE REST I asked the Lord to bless you As I prayed for you today To guide you and protect you As you go along your way His love is always with you His promises are true And when we give Him all our cares You know He will see us through So when the road you're traveling on Seems difficult at best Just remember I'm here praying And GOD WILL DO THE REST.
