Strut10 Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 About this time last year, a good old buddy of mine took a turn for the worse.....heart problems. What an old fellow he was!! I never met anyone who I could sit and B.S. guns with 'til all hours of the morning like Dr. Joe. Never was actually around him that many times, as he lives a couple states away from here. But, the times we were toghether, we'd sit up & talk guns, hunting, etc. for HOURS. We always said we'd have to get together & do some shooting someday. Well anyways.......about this time last year, his health went to pot in a big way. It was to the point where we got "the call". Dr. Joe was not expected to make it through the night. Well.........last evening we had a family campfire/picnic here at the house. Who do you suppose came up my drive and strolling across my yard??? Yep!!! Dr. Joe!!! He & his Mrs. are up in the vicinity visiting. Got to sit around the fire last night and enjoy his company once again. And guess what tomorrow is?????? A day at the range!!!!!! I NEVER in all my wildest dreams imagined I'd ever see the day I'd sit and talk guns with him again...........let alone get to go shooting!!!!! I am SO pumped!!! Ya'll have no idea how much prayer went out for this good ol' boy from this location. Looks like it was time well spent. I can't even type what it felt like to see him coming across the yard.

TexasDeerHunter Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Re: Prayers DO work / Miracles DO happen..... I am so gald that you are able to give the credit to God and acknowledge that prayer works. He always answers, sometimes it is'nt the answer we want. Suppose God was'nt ready to call Joe home and figured he needed to give you another shot at spending some time with him. Great story.
