Divine Intervention
Joanne and I had invited Andreas to come with us for a
visit to Ontario, Canada and he accepted. We had our return
tickets with American Airlines. The three of us went to the
Ontario, CA, airport (which was only five miles from the
home of my brother Edward) to purchase a ticket for Andreas.
When the man at the American Airlines was going to enter the
information in the computer for all of us, something went
wrong with the recording devices. He tried for a least 20
minutes, while we patiently waited. Finally, in frustration,
he said, "Please go over to the airline counter next to
ours. They will accept your return tickets to Toronto." We
were promptly served without computer problems. The next
day, the Los Angeles newspaper headlines read: "American
Airlines, Destination Toronto, Hijacked To Cuba!" If the
Angel of the Lord had not intervened on our behalf, we would
have been on that flight. The following day we had a safe
landing at Pearson International Airport in Toronto.
"For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you
in all your ways." (Psalm 91:11)
