wow, that is something, It brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for shareing it. I heard about some children , in china at a missionary during world war two, that were out in a field playing when a Japanese plane flew down and was shooting at the children, When the plane left, The missionary people looked where the bullets went and they were in a straight line till they got to the children and then the bullets went out and around them, and then came back into a straight line. All the children were fine. God is so amazeing.
