His words echo in my ... Even now - nearly 20years later. "You can learn ... from every person you ... in your life." These were the words spoken by my 9th grade Latin teacher, His words echo in my consciousness. Even now - nearly 20years later. "You can learn something from every person you encounter in your life." These were the words spoken by my 9th grade Latin teacher, Mr. Harker. It's unclear why his words have stuck with meall these years. After all, how much wisdom could come fromone who spends his days teaching teenagers a dead languagethey'll never use? Little did I know then. Thank you Mr. Harker."What if she's an angel," asks country music newcomerTommy Shane Steiner in his poignant, debut song with thesame title. "A little girl on daddy's lap, hiding her disease with a baseball cap. You can turn the channel. Most people do. But what if you were sitting in her daddy's shoes." "Maybe she's an angel, sent here from Heaven, and she's making certain that you're doing your best to take the time to help one another. Brother are you going to pass that test . . . What if she's an angel."I remember first hearing the song. It touched somethingvery deep in me. So deep, in fact, I can't find words toadequately describe the feeling that surfaced. It's enoughto say a tremendous wave of emotion washed over me, and Ibegan crying without really understanding why.Nine short months ago much of the world began a struggle tomake sense of the events which took place on September 11.Questions still remain, and the healing continues. I recall the words of Reverend Billy Graham as he spoke at the National Cathedral in Washington D.C. on September 14. "We come together today to affirm our conviction that God cares for us, whatever our ethnic, religious or political background may be. "The Bible says that He's "the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles."I also recall my tears, very soon after that speech, at thesight of a vulnerable, mourning people united around theworld. Not so much being comforted by God but by oneanother. Is there really any difference? Perhaps that'show God wants it. What do make of it all? The words of a high school Latinteacher, a country music song, humanity united in mourningand a Life Coach with a pretty good memory who seems tospend a bit of time crying.When you put all the pieces of the puzzle together, what'sthe picture you see?Let me help you out by making it more personal.Think about your spouse or ex-spouse with whom you had afight recently.Think about your teenage child who seems to be out ofcontrol.
