I Remember I Was About Maybe 14 Or 15 Years Old And I Had To  The Store; It Was A Little Neighborhood Grocery Store. But, Everytime, I Got Ready To Leave Out The Door My Mother Call Me For Something; Now, She Did That About 3 Or 4 Times And That Was A Delay Of Time Of About 15 To 20 Minutes ... Of Course I Was Mad And Sucked My Teeth Of Course I Did It Low Enough So She Could Not Hear Me; I Said" I Was Mad .. Not Crazy. Finally, Mama Got To Say" And Tell Me The Extra Items She Needed Me To Get From The Store ... Then, Left And As I Was Maybe About A Half Of Block From The Store; Some Peoples On The Street Was Telling Me That Store Is Being Robbed Right Now! I Was In Shock Of Course And I Do Realize Now; It Was The Lord Himself Using My Mother And Causing A 15 To 20 Minute Delay From Me Arriving To That Store Because I Might Walked In When Store Was Being Robbed And Surprised The Robbers And Could Of Got Shot And Killed On The Spot. Thank You So Very Much Lord Jesus For Your Faithful Servant; My Mother, That I Love And Miss Oh,So Very Very Very Much.

My Mother Was Led By The Spirit Of God; I Remember She How Told Us How She Kept One Of Oldest Brothers From Dying In A Fire. She Said" Jim; That's One Of Her Oldest Son ... He Wanted To Go With His Friend To His House And Hangout For Awhile But For some Reason My Mother Made Him Go To Run An Errand For Her; Now, She Said" He Never Was Really Hard-headed And He Did What She Said" A Ran The Errand, Delaying Him A While To Catching With Friend At His House To Hangout; After He Finally Running The Errand For My Mother ... He Was Finally Going To Leave And Soon As He Started That Way, He Heard The Albumlance And Fire Trucks Blaring Going Down The Street And He Found Out That The Friend That He Wanted To Go With To His House At The Begining ... It Was Him And I Think She Said" 6 More Of His Family Was Burned Up In One Of The Worst Fires Of That Time And Because, The Lord Put It on My Mother Heart To Make Him Run That Errand That Took Him Long Enough; Keeping Him From Showing Up To His Friend House Early Or He Would Of Been The 8th Person That Perish In The Fire. Thanks Be To God For Working Through My Mama.
