Angels Among Us...
I clearly remember Christmas Day in 1967, when Paul Crume--in his popular daily column featured for three decades in the Dallas Morning News--professed his belief in angels. Oh, he acknowledged demons, too, but this day he wrote of angels.
It was a heart-warmer, and his column was applauded so widely by Christians, the newspaper has run it each Christmas Day since.
This seems to be a busy time of the year, especially for those who have kids in school. This brings to mind the old saying, “That’s why God gave children to the young,” because in some cases, some older folks aren’t as tolerant! These are more likely Grumpy Old Men, rather than Grumpy Old Women.
I often see a mother with three or more children that are all moving in different directions and think, I used to do that!
