Divine Intersection


I was listening to NPR on the way home tonight which I really shouldn't do because their bias reporting makes me angry. Counting to ten... Ok, I was listening to NPR tonight and a story came on about signs from above that suggest divine interventionIt made me think of a story that had happened to me.

One Saturday morning I was on the way to work, my wife and infant son were going along to keep me company. It was kind of a lazy drive because the usual rush hour traffic of the week was non existent. I pulled up to a red stop light and waited. All of a sudden a shadow passed over my car. It had a triangle shape but not to defined. It was just big enough to cover my car.
The light turned green in front of me but nobody was behind so I leaned forward to see what had made the shadow, nothing. Then I looked up from the side window, nothing again. I could see my wife doing the same. This all took about three seconds. I started to press the gas to go through the light when a Astro mini van flew through the intersection from the cross street. He totally blew his red light and had to be traveling about 60 mph.

If I had taken off when the light turned green the car would have slammed into us in the side of the car my son was sitting on. That shadow may have saved our lives. It was a clear bright morning and we never did see anything in the sky. I have to believe that something stepped in to save us. Could this have happened to me before and I didn't notice? I have my proof.

Beautiful post or beautiful picture?

I'll take Buddhas love and any other I can get. All you need is love, love, love is all you need...*humming* and money . Money helps a lot too :)

Awww... YOU GOT THAT SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD NOW!!!

Money does indeed help, but you'd be rich and cold without love.

I meant that it's a beautiful example of the miracles that happen every day. :-)

That's a pretty amazing story. I can't say I 'beleive' but if I did, i'd say someone somewhere is looking out for you.

According to the chaos theory that shadow you saw has caused some other reaction somewhere ;)
