The Care and Feeding of Angels is a story so astonishing that it is hard to believe. It is as it was lived. Crossing back and forth through time and space, it describes a journey that goes beyond psychology and beyond religion to present the realities of life and death in the context of the many lives of the soul and the larger life of the Spirit. And, additionally, it is prophecy returning to the world after a long period of silence.
The book describes a journey that spanned more than thirty-seven years, and an epiphany that continues to this day. Much of it happened here, in this world, and much happened in the vast realm where all the memories are stored. It presents the simple songs of a single human soul, sung over thousands of years. And it is a true testament of Salvation as fresh as a newly harvested pearl, as old as time.
The journey begins with the family into which I was born and from which I escaped as soon as I could—the family that quickly shattered my young life and launched me on the other path that I have taken. From that early environment came the many faces I have worn and many lives that I have lived in order to survive. And then there is the person who I never was. Pieces, all in pieces.
Through sharing in this extraordinary tale, it is my hope that you will come closer to your own peace with life, as well as glean a glimpse of what is to come. I bring my story to you as a gift, knowing that you may not understand. But I had to do this. In the end, it is not I alone who wrote this book. The Holy Spirit uses my voice for God’s own purposes. So this book may change you, as it changed me.
Now, as I am gently returned to the world, I am no longer who I was. I come back not really wanting to, but I have this gift for you, and there may be others, too. The clock in the kitchen ticks the time away, moment by moment, telling me that it is time for other voices to tell you what happened to us.
