I was alone just after Christmas in 1993. (A neighbor girl had been murdered, and her murderer was not yet found. I had suspicions about some of the people who hung around the neighborhood, and there had been suspicious activity of the neighbor kids during the afternoon that it happened, and I wondered if they knew something about it before the body was found. The girl, Deanna, has been raped and strangled in a vacant house several blocks from here. In retrospect, I think the guy who did it, was afraid that I knew something. He hung around next door to my house, and whenever the gang of kids would see me coming, they would whisper and point.) On the night just after Christmas, I was alone because my son had flown to California to visit his father. I always read the 91st Psalm for protection before going asleep when I'm frightened and alone. I awoke some time after midnight, smelling smoke. I raced down the stairs, but found nothing. Some months later, my housekeeper! and her kids were washing my windows on the outside. One storm window lifted up, and inside, lying on the aluminum that had been put there when my house was re-sided, was a blue bandana, charred. It appeared someone had lifted the storm window, placed the burning bandana inside the window, closed the window and run off. I knew immediately, who had put it there. Some time later I questioned another neighbor about it. They told me that the kids who put the burning rag in my window were frightened away by 'the big guy' standing on my porch roof. They said 'he cleared his throat, crossed his arms and glared at them.' How it changed my life:I realize, that even though we don't always know it immediately, our Guardian Angels are there to protect us. I also learned that the 91st Psalm is a powerful protection.
