Angels

"Surrounding us is a spirit world, far more populous, powerful, and resourceful than our own visible world of human beings. Spirits, good and evil, wend their way in our midst. With lightning speed and noiseless movement they pass from place to place. They inhabit the spaces of the air about us. Some we know to be concerned for our welfare, other are set on our harm. The inspired writers draw aside the curtain and give us a glimpse of this invisible world, in order that we may be both encouraged and warned." - Understanding the Doctrine of the Bible


This site is dedicated to the memory of LaDona Mae (Dobbins) Bates. . .
wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. . .



The world has angels all to few,
And heaven is overflowing.
- Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The golden moments in the stream life rush past us
and we see nothing but sand.
The angels come to visit us
and we only know them when they are gone.
- George Eliot



By definition an Angel is known to all as "an attendent or messenger of God." Usually shown in pictures as being in human form with wings and dressed in a long white robe. There is another definition found, one that is not known to many. A definition for those Angels living..."a very beautiful or kind person."

During her life LaDona belonged in the living definition of Angels... and now resides above us, around us, and among those heavenly bodies we call "Angels".
