These are stories that I have written over the years about angels. Most of these stories are works of fiction, however some of them are very loosely based on various stories that we have heard or experienced personally. With that in mind all the names of people, churches, and places have been changed to protect the privacy of those involved. However, do not forget that angels and Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ are not fictitious and are always there for us. Many life-changing events have shaped my faith and devotion and these stories, themselves. I hope that you will enjoy them.
