Angelic Encounter During Car Accident

[Carol Anne Kincaid~Paradis]

Today's affirmation:
My life is the eye of the hurricane -
an island of calm in a sea of uncertainty.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

CALM IN CHAOS
In the midst of the flurry - clarity.
In the midst of the storm - calm.
In the midst of divided interests - certainty.
In the many roads - a certain choice.
  - Mary Anne Radmacher

"Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth."

• How to be more Persuasive by Switching up your Language! According to Daniel Pink, co-author of "Magic Words: What To Say To Get Your Way," Instead of asking your kids to HELP you with chores, ask them to be your HELPERS. Or at work, don’t ask a colleague to MANAGE a project……Ask them to be your project MANAGER! And with your own goals, start thinking of yourself as a RUNNER, a LIFTER, and a healthy EATER!         Notice a pattern? In most cases, Pink says you’re simply adding an "-er" to the end of action verbs. But that’s effective…… because where verbs tend to demand a change in one’s behavior – think "help," "run" and "work," nouns appeal to someone’s values and personal identity! As in, you’re a "helper" and a "hard worker!" In fact, a study found that kids were a whopping 33% more likely to help with chores when adults asked them to be "a helper," compared to asking them "Can you help me clean?" It works the opposite way, too. When researchers gave people a test and told them, "Don’t be a cheater" - instead of "don’t cheat" - it cut unethical behavior in half! Because people don’t want to see themselves negatively. Bottom line: To be more persuasive, try appealing to people’s identity in your requests. JOHN TESH Angelic Encounter During Car Accident Shutterstock.com Pastor John Boston was driving down the road when another car crossed the center line and came barreling toward him. The pastor swerved to miss the vehicle and struck a utility pole, sending a live transformer crashing onto his car. Immediately the metal and glass began to buckle on the intense heat from thousands of volts of electricity. His 4-year-old daughter, who was with him, was trapped inside the burning car. The seat belt was stuck and the door wouldn’t open. That’s when a scruffy looking stranger came out of nowhere and easily opened the smashed door. The man removed him from the car and walked him 20 feet away from the vehicle to safety before the car exploded in flames. “He said my name is Johnny, the police are almost here and I can’t be here when they get here but you’re gonna be okay,” said Pastor Boston. “And then the man was gone.” He said that people who tried to rationalize the situation thought the circuit breaker simply tripped and Johnny fled because of a sketchy past. However, firefighters say there are some aspects of what happened that defy logic, reason and science. Pastor Boston is convinced he encountered an angel that day.
