This book evolved from my husband's story and snowballed every time I told someone about what God did for my husband or they read it in our local paper. People, strangers and friends, began to tell me stories about things nobody but God could have done for them in this life on earth. No doubts, they knew, believe it or not, God intervened in their lives and they were touched and felt His Healing Loving Hands in their life/situation. His hand prints were all over their lives and they were not embarrassed to share their strong faith and belief that only Our Father, Our God, did, indeed, touch them. Each one blessed my heart, and I know as long as people tell me their God Stories, I will keep writing and publishing them to share. My own stories fill a big space - God returned my late son's billfold to me, that he had lost when he was 12 living in Batesville before he moved to Alaska, nine years after he was murdered at the age of 30 in Alaska. Nobody but God could have pulled that off!! If you have a God Story, feel free to email it to me for including in a new book, at gandpbauer2016@yahoo.com. Virginia (Ginger) Smith-Bauer started writing fiction years ago in the 1980's as a personal challenge to combine her love of words, people and great stories, and to fill her time. She retired from county government in 2006 and volunteered at a few offices until totally retirement May of 2019 and self-published 3 books that year. She previously sold a short story, a true metal detecting story to a national magazine, about 20 feature articles for the state paper on Independence County people/events/places as well as local feature articles for the local Batesville Guard TV Guide on local individuals. Even so, she quit writing October 1, 1998, as suddenly as she had begun. "I quit writing on October 1, 1998, when I suddenly and tragically lost my only son, Michael Todd Coffman, who resided and died at Wasilla, AK, and is buried in Arkansas. I threw a book of Arkansas ghost stories I'd written and all my other writings in a closet. March 16, 2017, my granddaughter, Todd's only daughter, Ginger Savannah Coffman, passed away suddenly, age 25, just when I thought I could never handle the gut-wrenching excruciating heartbreak as I had known with all my personal losses. I survived a heart attack three months after Savvy died. When I stood back up from the heart attack, I realized my first book I'd written over 30 years ago would simply be burned if I'd died; nobody knew what or where it was. I had our local River City Print make me a few spiral bound books after I typed about 220 pages. When I offered it to the museum, Ms. Twyla Wright, curator of Old Independence Regional Museum, encouraged me to self-publish the book and give the museum a copy because it was historical stories I had interviewed and rated PG or G. Twyla was the driving force and my mentor/friend who encouraged me, for which I am truly grateful. I also donated all the state Gazette Three Rivers feature articles I'd written to the museum to be preserved for eternity. What an honor at this time in my life! What more could a writer ever want? Before I published my "Haints That Ain't, or Maybe They Are!" something happened and I wrote the first thing I had written since October 1998. It was a God story, that happened to my husband. As it unfolded right before my eyes, I was drawn/convicted to write it and share with his family. I've had so many interested in the history of the lost keepsake God returned in it and it was also the first story in my second book, "God's Watch Over Us, as Angels Hover Ever Near." God's Watch Over Us" evolved as people read my short story about my husband's God Gift in our local paper and began telling me things they knew only God could have done for them. God kept sending me people and I kept writing. I felt a deep contentment/peace in my heart as I wrote each story. Before it was published, people started telling me more God Stories and as I had vowed, I will write God Stories, what God has done for people, as long as He sends them to me. I am honored, I am humbled, with their trust and stories about how good God is to them, and what He has done for them, and they know it wasn't luck, it was GOD who touched them and so we shared. I have a very sweet and smart husband, Paul J. Bauer, Jr., who has encouraged me and helped me in a lot of ways, from listening to me read aloud, growl, or question myself, all to get this book written and published. I pray that all who read this book will be uplifted, and amazed, at what Our God can do for us. God's Watch Over Us Is Infinite! As I promised, the new book is entitled "God Glory Stories." Everyone was asked to include a Bible verse pertaining to their God Story. It will be out soon, very soon. And there will be another book because people keep sharing with me. If you have a God story you want me to share through a new book, you may contact me at gandpbauer2016@yahoo.com. I am doing God's w
