HAVE YOU EVER FACED THIS KIND OF TERROR? Imagine the terror of standing in front of a firing squad ... hoping … praying for a godwink. Twenty-one year old Arnold Hutschnecker couldn’t imagine how he’d gotten into this predicament. His frightened eyes followed the enemy commander who was pacing in the frigid morning, the vapor of his breath rising with the smoke of his cigarette. [OPTION - WATCH this story: hulu/watch/154287#i0,p0,d2 ] “God … how are you going to help me?” were the words that raced through Arnold’s mind. “REAAADDY….” the commander growled. The muzzles of 14 rifles snapped in unison and raised directly at Arnold and his six fellow soldiers. Youthful, serious-faced combatants stared back at him. Seven were kneeling … seven standing. That meant, two rifles were aimed at each person. No escape. “AIM…” the enemy leader continued. Like a mean kid who delighted in pulling the wings from flies and watching them squirm, the commander took a slow drag from his cigarette. His exhale seemed to echo (whoosh) in the crisp morning air. In slow motion, he dropped the cigarette to the ground, swiveling his boot in a crushing motion and a scraping sound. But … over the sound was another. What was that? The commander heard it the same moment. A distant purring, growing louder. Soon a soldier on a motorbike, screeched to a stop next to the commander, shouting a warning: ENEMY TROOPS APPROACHING. In foreign words the firing squad was ordered to “move out … quickly!” As the soldiers scattered in one direction, Arnold and the others took a few steps backwards, then ran, in the opposite direction. To safety. And for the rest of his life, Arnold Hutschnecker was able to tell the story of THE REMARKABLE GODWINK that saved his life in THE NICK OF TIME! He escaped to America, became a prominent doctor, and wrote a bestselling book called “The Will To Live.” He lived to be 105. •••• YOU never know when godwinks will come bursting into your life … just the right moment … SAVING YOU from something terrible; like a last minute message from above: “Hey kid…I was just thinking about you! I’VE GOT YOUR BACK.” Wishes and winks SQ This story first appeared in When God Winks at You. Pg 149. Dr. Hutschnecker was my friend.
