"Never neglect to show hospitality to strangers for some have entertained angels unknowingly." - Hebrews

Here's another true story about a friend of mine from church. This happened two years ago in my town in Texas. Jimmy is in his mid-forties. He's tall, big build, shaved head, with tattoos all over him. He used to be a biker in the wrong crowd, but along the way found Jesus, and now is 'Gentle Ben.' Jimmy had been talking to a gal on the internet, and she wanted him to move to Missouri so they could live in the same town to date.
He was struggling with the decision, and wasn't sure what to do. (He also had separately prayed for a long time for an angel encounter - it's just something he really wanted.) He was working two jobs to make ends meet and was praying about moving. When he came out of Wal-Mart (one of his jobs) that Sunday afternoon, there was a big man waiting for him next to his truck. He asked Jimmy which way he was going and when he answered to church across town, he asked him for a ride.
Once driving in the car, the man said his name was Gabriel, and told Jimmy all the things he had been praying that no one knew but him. He had this wonderful countenance about him, and also told Jimmy that God didn't want him to move at this time. When they got to the cross street, Jimmy stopped to let him out. As he drove into the parking lot, Jimmy looked around, but the guy had vanished in thin air. There was no where he could have dodged into. I was in church that night, and it hit Jimmy as he walked in, that he had just been driving with an angel...
The rest of the story is, that Jimmy lost sight of what the angel had said and moved to Missouri. Things did not go well with the woman. He was working at a juvenile detention center for older boys, and one of them tried to kill him with a baseball bat to the head, and he was in a short coma. After a few months in the hospital, my pastor lent him the money to come back to our town, and I saw him a few weeks ago, and he's dating a new lady. He says he's going to obey God next time... it's for his own good...
