On Saturday, during treacherous driving conditions, I skidded into a ditch.
It was a lonely stretch of road, the snow was blowing horizontal and darkness was descending but in less than ten minutes, I was resuming my journey.
During that time, seven cars stopped and asked if I needed help, including two lads in a Ford Escort and an elderly man on foot. They seemed to materialise out of the blizzard.
Thanks to them and especially to the red-jacketed hero who U-turned his jeep and hauled me out. The strange thing is I didn't see another soul for the next half hour.
Do angels walk among us? Or do they reside in all of us?
Finally, how come we never see God and Santa in the same room at the same time?
