> THIS IS A REALLY COOL STORY AND NOTICE,

> AT THE END, THE DATE THE CANDLE WAS STARTED.

>

> Diane, a young university student, was home for the summer.

> She had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed

> quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year.

> She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone.

> She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few

> blocks away.

>

> As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked

> "God" to keep her safe from harm and danger.

> When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her

> house, she decided to take it.  However, halfway down the

> alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he

> were waiting for her.  She became uneasy and began to pray,

> asking for "God's" protection. Instantly a comforting feeling

> of quietness and security wrapped around her, she felt as

> though someone was walking with her. When she reached the

> end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely.

>

> The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had

> been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there.

> Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have

> been her, she began to weep.  Thanking the Lord for her safety and to

> help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station.

> She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story.

> The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to

>  see if she could identify him.  She agreed and immediately

> pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before.

>

> When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately

> broke down and confessed.

>

> The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was

> anything they could do for her. She asked if they would ask the man

> one question.  Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her.

> When the policeman asked him, he answered, "Because she wasn't

> alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her."

>

> Moral of the story...  Don't underestimate the power of Prayer!

>

> Gives ya goosebumps doesn't it!

> To all of you who mean something

> to me, I wish you happiness.
