The news is all pretty grim--gas prices going up,the
news about Bear Stearns, food prices increasing, and
five years after the USA got involved in Iraq, we're
still bogged down in that morass.
Not to mention Gov. Spitzer being ousted for tawdry
behavior--and the Lt.Gov. admitting that he and his
wife both had affairs during a rough patch in their
marriage. In other words, human beings have made the
world a messy place.

This am a black lady who comes to see me once a week
said she was at a restaurant this weekend when a stranger
approached her table. He was wearing a white tuxedo,
which was odd dress for a family restaurant. He laid
his hand on her shoulder and said he had a message for
her. He proceeded to tell her about her past, and told
her what the future held for her.

This strange encounter was un-nerving for her, but she
said he had been right on every count. I am too cynical
to believe this messenger might have been an angel, like
she thought he might have been. But who knows
in these times of turmoil from whom
and from where messages might come to us.
