Have you ever had one of those moments when the veil between this world and the next seems to lift ever so slightly, and you feel a "hug" from the other side? What I'm about to tell you actually happened to me 12 years ago, but I was reminded of it last night during BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) when we were sharing our answers to a question in our study in Zechariah.
