I met an angel today — pretty sure his name was Ron

Jeff Lucas wasn’t expecting an angelic encounter — especially not one involving blue gloves, a beer belly and a man who definitely looked more like a Ron than a Gabriel.

Today was a tad unusual, because I bumped into an angel. 

For me at least, this is not an everyday experience. Over the years I’ve heard many reports of angelic encounters. Often, they involved winged warriors helpfully appearing to Christians whose cars had broken down, causing me to wonder if messengers of God have an uncanny affection for the M1. 

I don’t know the name of the angel that I saw, because there was no personal introduction, but I doubt his name was Gabriel. He didn’t look like a Gabriel – more like a Fred, a Dave, or maybe a Ron.
