Where Angels Walk, by Joan Wester Anderson, October 23 2011
“I just LOVE those angel stories,” says Donna Sheldon. She has no trouble believing that these holy beings do indeed watch over us.

WHERE ANGELS WALK, by Joan Wester Anderson, Oct 8, 2011
It’s tempting to ask angels to take care of all of our problems. But in many cases, people are meant to be “earth angels” too. Bill Garvey knows this very well, for he is a “giver.” After 9/11, he and his family (and some helpers) carved an enormous pumpkin that they had grown themselves, got [...]

Debe’s mother in law passed away in Wisconsin during January, not the easiest time of year for a funeral. With so many friends and family members traveling to say their last goodbyes, the family decided to hold a memorial service at the funeral home chapel instead of at the gravesite. “We put her photos and [...]
Story of the Week, February 19, 2011, Angel in Hiking Boots
ANGEL IN HIKING BOOTS Angels don’t always announce their arrival. And sometimes the helper is an ordinary person acting like an angel. Either way, they change our lives. Tammy Kline would agree. Tammy, her husband Rich and several others had embarked upon a climb on the Grand Canyon. An experienced hiker (and married to one), [...]
