We both are writing much more and I am publishing a Mini-book with Excel chock full of Paradoxes from God's Word. I used one of yours from the Mini-book for Moms somebody gave me years ago. It's "If you are born once, you die twice. If you are born twice, you die once." (John 3:5-7). I thought I should get official permission from you to put this in my book. Thanks if you get back to me on this. Also, should I use my ponderous married name, Ellen Dobbelmann, for the Cover, or my maiden hame, Ellen Howard?? (married name is long & doesn't ring) maybe. My Husband may have a book going also. Should he put Darrell Dobbelmann on Cover or D.L. Dobbelmann?? Thanks for your attention to this matter? Ellen (Ellie) Dobbelmann]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Robert,</p> <p>My Husband and I were inspired and helped by your writing Seminar a few years ago.

I believe what the Bible says about "entertaining angels unaware"...I think we can be in the presence of an angel and not know it, whether we're helping them or they are helping us. (Now, I say "we're helping them"...I mean if we're given an opportunity to help someone, I sometimes wonder if that person might be an angel and it is giving us an opportunity to serve and that encounter might somehow bless our lives.)<br /><br />I do believe that there are angels everywhere...both God's angels and Satan's angels. An angel is simply a messenger...someone sent to do a job/mission. So I truly believe that there are Satan's angels out there trying to trip us up or tempt us to do things we shouldn't do. <br /><br />One thing I believe in, and I've gotten some really weird looks about this thought!, is that I believe children/babies can see angels more than we can. I think they see angels that are just "hovering" in a room...not necessarily the ones that we come in contact with in human form. My reasoning for this is b/c when Brent (my oldest) was a baby, he would sleep for HOURS each night...12-14. But he was always wake up so happy and just lay and play in his bed for another hour. There were NUMEROUS occasions that, while he was laying there playing, I would hear him jabbering and "talking" and then GIGGLING. He was the only one in the room...no other children, no TV. I firmly believe that there were angels in his room "playing" with him. Keeping him company. My other son did some of the same, but not as much. My daughter would often look up to the corner of a room and just jabber and talk or just stare for several minutes. There would be nothing there (that we could see) for her to be looking at or talking to. But it was obvious that she was seeing something and talking to something. I think it was angels. <br /><br />Now, I don't believe necessarily in "guardian angels"...angels sent to protect us or our children from evil or bad things. But I do think we interact with angels on a more personal level than many of us realize. <br /><br />Maybe I'm just "out there" compared to other people... :)]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hmm…I know I have because I’ve said, “The angels must have been helping/watching me!” but I honestly can’t remember a specific time.
