One morning a few months past the prediction, Rock went to the beach
with his newly found friend, Todd. Another angel sent by
God,
he believed, to ease his broken heart and his unbearable pain in these
dark times. They were walking the same beach where he had found the
statue of the Holy Virgin Mary. The beach was still littered by the
small debris left over from the same storms that had before hitting the
beach. They were floating above the water in a small pool created by the
outgoing tides that morning. There, he noticed floating on the top of
the water a small square plastic of a sort with a cross looking hole
carved in the middle. At first, it didn’t seem of any significance, but
he couldn’t take his eyes off of it. He walked over to it, and as soon
as he scooped it up, he knew it was the base for the Virgin Mary’s
statue he had found on that magical day at the same beach a couple
months earlier. But how could that be so many months later and so small
of a piece to be found among all these look-alike debris floating
around! He rushed home and couldn’t believe it was precisely that, the
base for the same statue of the Virgin Mary he had found. Shocked and
amazed, he knew it was another sign from
God
to assure him that He was in charge of it all, so he thought.
A few days later, suddenly and to everyone's surprise, the news came
that the residing Pope had resigned, an act that had happened only once
in the church’s history and many hundreds of years before. This further
confirmed that the “Book of Prelude” was an act of
God.
As the saying goes, if something happens once it’s an event, if it
happens twice, it’s most likely coincident, but if it happens for third
and the fourth times, it is a miracle that this was to be. The new Pope
was selected. Pope Francis was much closer to the believers and the core
as any other Pope before. The new Pontiff went right to work, to reform
what had gone wrong in the church before.
Rock continued serving faithfully every Sunday at the church. He was now
an old hand that trained the others. He helped cheer up the broken souls
and thought the young ones how to greet and lift up those broken souls.
In the meantime, he stayed in his house while the unholy divorce filed
by his unfaithful and adulterous wife, who was now shacking up with the
agent of the devil, the lowlife of a beast, Steve Robbins, to be final
and the house he cherished so much to be sold. He was forced to sell it
at the low of the lousy housing market as the house was worth much more
if they had waited for a good market to come before they sold, perhaps,
another blow from the devil to break him down. He was devastated as he
witnessed the dismantling of his precious life by his adulteress and
shameless wife. He cried with a broken heart. The time grind on until
all was settled.
For the first time of over 35 years, he was made homeless by his
disloyal and traitorous wife, a pain so devastating and hard to bear on
his anguished heart. He had worked hard to have what he had earned, his
marriage, his home, his money, and all of the modest possessions that he
loved. |
