One of my earliest memories is from when I was a very young boy living in Monroe, NC. It happened one night while I was laying in bed. I saw something that affected me so deeply, I still remember it.<\/p>\n
I remember the bedroom was down the hall and to the left.\u00a0 One night I was laying in bed,\u00a0listening to my parents in the other room. I turned my head\u00a0and looked toward the doorway. When I did, I saw what I assumed\u00a0could only be my mother, standing in the doorway, looking at me and smiling. I called out “Mom?”\u00a0 Then she disappeared.\u00a0 I don’t mean she walked away. I mean, she disappeared. When my mother DID come to the room, it was apparent it had not been her.<\/p>\n
I was only 4 or 5 years old. I was not on drugs. I was not asleep and dreaming. I don’t know who it was. I don’t even know IF it really was. I can only tell you that it looked so real and I have never forgotten it.<\/p>\n
Now that I am older, I look back on that event and wonder about it.\u00a0\u00a0If you were to press me, I would have to admit, I think it could have been an angel.\u00a0 Some may scoff and say\u00a0I was asleep and dreaming.\u00a0 Others may say it was only my imagination;\u00a0I was seeing things that were not there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scoff if you will.\u00a0 Think me crazy if you must.\u00a0\u00a0I will easily admit that\u00a0I don’t always see right all the time.\u00a0\u00a0Even now, I\u00a0will admit there are times I\u00a0see things that aren’t really there.\u00a0 There are also times when I don’t see things that are.\u00a0\u00a0I don’t always see straight.\u00a0 I don’t always understand what I see.\u00a0 I don’t even always see what I think I understand.\u00a0 Either way, I know there is more to life than what I can see.\u00a0 And whether I see it or not, there’s something there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
