PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, FEBRUARY 12, 1982
PAGE 8
Dear Mr. Armstrong:
I sure do believe in guardian angels. I know God intervened and
protected me many times while I was driving. I had some very
close calls, and the miracles I have seen--there was no other
answer....
On the way to the Feast, I stopped at a red light and a big truck
hit me full force in the rear. The impact broke the truck's
headlight and caused an oil leak. Glass was all over the rear end
of my car. I got out and started to clean the glass off the rear
lights--none of which were broken!.••
The truck driver admitted that it was his fault as he wasn't
paying attention. Another man came running over and asked if I
needed a witness.... He said, "Lady, you have a mighty tough
car!" I have a 1975 Plymouth Valiant. A lady from Church said
God must have made the car rubber at the time of the accident--it
had no damage at all!
Las� winter, when I was coming home from my mother's place in a
heavy snowfall, the car started to slide, then went over a bank
and almost turned over. Then, all of a sudden, it went back on
all four wheels. It was still running, and I continued on my way
home with only a little grass on the bumper. Another time while
it was raining, the car started to slide, probably because of oil
on the road. I hit the guardrail full force--yet there was no
damage! But I was very frightened.
I know that God has intervened for me more than once and pro
tected me.
I always pray for God's guidance and protection
before I drive. There are all kinds of people out there--drunks,
people on dope, impatient people, people that do not respect you
or even care about themselves. They would just as soon run you
down•.•. I always try to obey the traffic laws and have respect
for other drivers.
I consider my driver's license is a
privilege, not a right.
ON THE WORLD SCENE

RUMBLINGS IN ASIA AS RUSSIA GOES FOR A "CHOKEHOLD" It is no mere happen
stance that Mr. Herbert w. Armstrong has been led by Christ to step up
activities of God's Work throughout Asia. Political events are beginning
to move swiftly throughout that vast, populated region. Showdowns between
major world powers are certain to occur.
Over the entire western Pacific basin looms a growing, prowling Soviet
military presence. The Japanese and others are very concerned over the
rapid expansion of the U.S.S.R.'s Far East fleet, one that challenges the
once preeminent U.S. Seventh fleet. "The Russian bear," as the saying
goes, "now has webbed feet." The ships of Admiral Gorshkov•s navy are rang
ing far and wide from their traditional home waters of the Sea of Japan into
the warmer climes of the south China Sea and the Indian Ocean.
