• Saturday, January 6, 2007 - Why?

Why can't the media put out more positive stories like they did recently with the people of New York? Why can't some of them focus more on that than the ugly news of the world? I was so uplifted when I read about several people in New York City who helped save others from a terrible fate. God does have Angels on the ground, and not all of them have visible wings.

 

Two men, just walking around like thousands of others in New York City, heard screams up a building, and saw a little boy hanging from the fire escape, ready to fall. Three year old Timothy had just gone out there, the babysitter had been distracted, and the next thing - he was dangling from the fire escape. The poor little thing hung on as much as he could, and while he fought his fall, Julio Gonzalez and Pedro Nevarez moved to stand directly under the little one to catch him if they could.

 

Timothy did fall, and he landed hard on Pedro's chest, knocking him off balance as Timothy bounced into Julio's arms! Timothy has as mall cut on his forehead that was treated, but he was smiling and happy and safe. If it wasn't for those two wonderful men, who just happened to be passing through, the outcome of that could have been much, much worse. And, the sad part is this: several others were there, just standing around, and watching. They didn't do anything to help, they just stood there. It's a sad thing to hear.

 

The other story is about Wesley Autrey, who saved Cameron Hollopeter after Cameron fell down into the tracks of the subway. Cameron suffered a seizure, and during that attack near the tracks, he fell in. Wesley moved swiftly, dove on top of Cameron, and rolled him into a gap that sits between the rails. The train had passed a few cars over the two men, but neither were hurt by it. Wesley, another angel without wings...

 

God does work in mysterious ways
