CONCENTRATION GAME
CONCENTRATION GAME. EVERY ONE SITS IN A CIRCLE AND IS ASSIGNED A
NUMBER 1-- HOWEVER MANY PEOPLE THERE ARE. WITH A CERTAIN
RHYTHM. NUMBER 1
STARTS AND CALLS HIS NUMBER AND ANOTHER ONE. THEN IT'S THE NEXT
PERSON'S TURN. HE CALLS OUT HIS NUMBER AND SOMEONE ELSE'S NUMBER.
YOU MUST DO THIS IN RHYTHM AND YOU MUST CALL YOUR OWN NUMBER FIRST.

JUST HEARD. USUALLY IT DIFFERS FROM WHAT WAD ORIGINALLY SAID.

MY GIRLFRIEND ONCE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS AN EXTREMELY BAD
ACCIDENT ON CHERRY HILL IN DEARBORN. THE ACCIDENT INVOLVED A YOUNG
GIRL ON HER BIKE AND A CAR. THE GIRL WAS HIT BY THE CAR AND DRAGGED
BY THE CAR FOR SOME DISTANCE. WHILE BEING DRAGGED, THE GIRL WAS
KNOCKING ON THE CAR FOR THE DRIVER TO STOP. IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT IF
YOU TRAVEL IN YOUR CAR IN THE EXACT TRACKS OF THE CAR, YOU WILL HEAR
A KNOCKING ON YOUR CAR.

LEGEND
ONE OF MY GIRLFRIENDS ONCE TOLD ME THAT A FRIEND OF HER MOTHER'S
WAS FLYING OUT EAST BUT SHE WAS AFRAID OF FLYING. WHILE IN THE PLANE
THE WOMAN SAID THAT SOMETHING TOLD HER TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THE
CLOUDS. ALTHOUGH THE WOMAN FELT STRANGE ABOUT TAKING A PICTURE OF
THE CLOUDS, SHE STILL DID IT. NOT REALLY THINKING TOO MUCH ABOUT IT
WHILE ON HER VACATION IT ALL CAME BACK TO HER WHEN SHE RECEIVED HER
DEVELOPED PICTURES. FOR THE PICTURE THAT WAS TAKEN IN THE CLOUDS
REVEALED A CHRIST-LIKE IMAGE .
Submitter comment:
THE WOMAN FELT THAT IT WAS THE LORD THAT TOLD HER TO TAKE THE
PICTURE IN THE FIRST PLACE. SHE FELT THAT THE LORD WAS TRYING TO
TELL HER THAT HE IS ALWAYS THERE.
