OMG'sh! Did they know that?

that was probably a very dumb question! You must have fallen over when you visited...at least I am assuming that is how you discovered it! I can hardly BELIEVE it. These were the kinds of strange ways that mine and Ann's lives seemed to interconnect... in 'out of the blue' ways. We used to think it was special to us but after hearing YOUR STORY maybe it was all ANN! lol!

It's funny but Ann and I wouldn't see each other for years and all of a sudden God would bring us together in the strangest of ways for the strangest of reasons. It was really very uncanny and it began to be the butt of our jokes.

I had forgotten but Ann often would say that when she got to heaven her first question to God would be " what was it about Pam McCarl?" Lol. I had forgotten about that but she must have said that to me 4 or 5 times in the past 25 years. Hmmm...I wonder if she asked...now i am dying to know the answer! lol! It was just really odd the way the Lord would bring us together at these unusual junctions in our lives. And something big always happened as a result. God really blessed us both with an unusual and special friendship.

She is probably up in heaven reading these forum posts as we type them and laughing out loud now that the picture is totally clear for her!

ANN...ARE YOU READING THIS?!?! TOO WEIRD! Makes me think Twilight Zone...I think I can hear the music playing in the background...oh no, is that a bad sign?!?!

Hmmm...both of Ann and Steve's homes are miracle homes...God really watched over that woman closely and gave her the desires of her heart.
