The landlord from whom I rented office space, also owned a mini storage facility. He had foreclosed on a unit and auctioned off the contents except for the bible, which he brought to our office. Several years later, a family member contacted the landlord about the bible -- and we were able to return it to the family.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948553013206247354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983352112228936708.post-48379377496634764252013-07-27T19:00:50.669+01:002013-07-27T19:00:50.669+01:00Isn't is amazing how purely coincidental thing...Isn't is amazing how purely coincidental things like that can happen. Sometimes, though, I wonder if they really are coincidental? There have been times when an inkling of a feeling urges me to go somewhere or do something I hadn't planned on - leading to some rather surprising results . . . like your family getting their bible back after all that time simply because your mother decided to visit with a neighbor. You just never know! :-> La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983352112228936708.post-70884359188237060882013-07-27T16:21:39.632+01:002013-07-27T16:21:39.632+01:00That's an amazing story and just perfect for t...That's an amazing story and just perfect for this week, but poor old Gertie; what a harrowing experience it must have been.Little Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862657943846727987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983352112228936708.post-10380202810618100212013-07-27T15:22:48.474+01:002013-07-27T15:22:48.474+01:00@ Deb Gould.

He claimed to have a spirit guide and was apparently friendly with a well know spiritualist of the day. She died in mysterious circumstances. My grandmother sent me a letter with all the details and photos but it got lost in the post!
