Yeah, I asked for that once. Instead of getting a beam of light or getting to
put my fingers in Jesus' wounds, within a few days of making an honest plea, I
was walking away from an 85mph head-on collsion with a big palm tree.
5 minutes later I had my 2nd miracle which was not getting shot while beating
the shit out of the sherrif's dog (I made that fu**ing dog lay down and stay
there). The next miracle was not pulling more charges for beating the shit out
of someone in jail for not letting me sleep....
The biggest miracle is the fact I decided to give spiritual principles a fair
shot in my life after what I thought God *MIGHT HAVE* done for me. I figured it
was the leastI could do.
All I know is that I used to be sick, and now I'm a lot less sick. I don't even
know or care if God is a force, a 'she' who lives in the earth, a big old guy
with a beard and stone tablets - whatever. I don't care. I believe there is a
physically undetectable compasionate inteligence and that I have somehow tapped
into that source.
I can't see it. I can only see it's effects and therefore I believe I have a
reasonable faith and I also believe it would be unreasonable for me to continue
in defacto atheism. My circumstances require me to have open mind.
