Some very good friends of mine were driving across a CO mountain pass in winter that has a very dangerous stretch with lots of avalanches. Usually lose at least one car a year, and nobody has ever survived being swept off the road into the canyon.

They stopped and prayed before driving across the stretch. An avalanche hit and swept them off the road. They survived and eventually climbed out.

They believed their survival was a miracle provided by God in response to their prayers.

I pointed out that if they hadn’t stopped to pray, they would have been past the dangerous stretch before the avalanche hit.

My comment was not appreciated.

LOL. That reminds me of the story about the construction worker who falls several stories from a scaffold. He breaks most of the bones in his body, but miraculously lives. He wakes up in traction in the hospitial, and the doctor tells him, “You’re a lucky man”.

He says, “I don’t feel lucky”.
