Angels



Angels are supernatural beings that are mentioned hundreds of times throughout the Bible in the Old and New Testament.  Angels served various purposes from the book of Genesis when the angel appeared to Hagar and through the Revelations where the angels announce God’s judgments.  Their role is one that is diverse with angels bringing messages, direction and even strategy for war.  They were sent to provide deliverance for Lot and his family as they fled from Sodom. And angels are often portrayed surrounded in great light with feathery wings and playing a harp.  But what if angels were like us.  The scripture says, that many have entertained angels and not known it.  The greatest angelic message in the Bible was the angel’s announcement that Mary had found favour with God and was chosen to bring forth the Saviour.  

In the tale of Jade, Jade has angelic friends who bring him messages, provide protection, friendship and guidance, and also strategy for war. He discovers that angels are very active in the lives of mankind as they even interfere in his circumstances to bring out about certain conclusions and not all of these intrusions are welcome by the young man.  With a bit of humour thrown in, Jade has quite an intriguing time with his angelic friends.  The story of Balaam and the donkey is evidence of angelic humour when an angel of the Lord tries to stop Balaam from cursing Israel and even makes the donkey talk to Balaam.  Humour, Sadness suspense, Intrigue and celebration are all situations that Jade will face with his angelic friends.

Writing

I love writing and I love the evenings; curling up by the fire with a coffee or a glass of wine and writing until ...until I fall asleep.  There is something magical about the midnight hour and beyond and it seems for me that all creativity lets loose. 
This blog is about my own writings; the books I am writing and projects I am working on.  Hope you enjoy.  This is my first post.
