This is strange! GOD seems to be finishing the unfinished business, answering the unansewered, on things that went on with my father's family and my mother's family long ago, even before I was born, all at the same time.
My Dad had a little brother who died in infancy. His name was Paul. If he had lived, he would be 43 years old today. One of Dad's brothers just put a marker on Paul's grave last weekend. My Mom went with him. My Mom met with the owner of the cementery and she showed her detailed records on my mother's grandfather and his family she never knew about. As far as the cementery's owner is concerned, it was a profound honor to meet my mother. I knew that my great grandfather was a was a small business owner but I had no idea he had such high standing. Then, my Mom learned what happened to Ruthie, my father's deceased uncle's 2nd wife (we didn't know until last weekend that he had been married twice!) disappeared not because she was murdered or anything, but due to her severe psychological problems, her family had her placed in a sanitarium or insane asylum. Mom is trying to find out which one. This would've been over 40 years ago so this is remarkable that all this information is surfacing now. There are also other strange things, and I think this is one of the signs that this is from GOD. A roaster that belonged to my great-great-great grandmother my Mom lost at a house she sold down in Cincinnati 9 years ago spontaneously re-appeared in her oven at her new house!
There are still unanswered questions about a cousion who was murdered in 1972. He was killed by being sawed in half alive. I like to watch some forsenic pyschology documentries and this expert who had developed the most reliable tool for police, the scale of evil 1 - 26 (SEE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_Evil ) had said usually serial torture killers will murder twice per visit to a city before moving on to the next city. Well, in the same week my cousion was murdered, an entire family (mother, father, and little 6 year old girl) were also murdered by having their limbs cut off, and they were chopped up and stuffed into garbage bags and put into barrels they had at their hardware store. Their valuables were also taken (trophies? souveniors for the killers?). Nobody heard anything. As all the victims were poor, I got the impression the police didn't care and didn't persue eitheir murders very well nor did they connect the two. I have the feeling they were the work of the same two killers and they were experienced, and in each instance, wanted to make sure the bodies were found. My impressions about the past usually come true...GOD shows me things about the past sometimes, and when He does, its right. I feel He is giving information on this. Maybe GOD is tying up loose ends, as it were? If so, I hope one of them is bringing the murderers to justice because both the cousion and the family were good people with good standing...if they are brought to justice, maybe other families will have closure.
