Maybe you have to be Catholic to have one. I"ve known so damn good people who could have used one and there were none available. I had a love hate relationship with our Creator for some years over some things that just aren't right and I can't wrap my head around. Anyway, this is a cool story. Have you had devine intervention at a critical time? Please tell me and tell me what you think of this story.... My dad told me and my brothers this story when we were growing up and it�s always stuck with me, particularly on long drives when I�m feeling a bit sleepy. The first time I remember hearing it was after I asked him if angels were real, I was probably 7 or 8 yo. He drove trucks decades ago, before I was born and before labor laws around limits and breaks were more standard (I�m assuming it�s different now?). He�d fairly regularly accept calls that would extend his shift to where he was driving 24, 36hrs, or more without a break longer than a quick bathroom or fast food stop. My dad has a pretty mathematical brain, he�s the type to make up logic puzzles out of something totally mundane just for fun. Whenever we were driving around town, he�d regularly ask me things like how long would it take us to get from home to the store if we were going 30 mph but had to stop for 5 minutes in the middle because a family of kittens were crossing the road, etc. He�d come up with similar equations for himself while he was driving solo that involved things he was seeing like the odometer, mileage markers, the time, and then he could test his speed based on the equation, etc. One night after having already driven a particularly long day, he noticed his eyes getting droopier and the whole roll-down-the-window-and-blast-the-music-up thing didn�t seem to be helping much. It was a rainy night on a pretty windy mountain road without a shoulder to pull over safely, so he started doing those logic games out loud to keep alert and awake. He was saying something to the effect of �I just passed mile marker 146 so what time will it be when I reach 200 if I�m going 55mph...� then he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt his head do the nod-jerk thing which woke him up with a gasp. He opened his eyes to see he was driving straight towards mile marker 158, which would have sent his whole truck tumbling down a random ass mountain ravine. He was able to correct the course safely back, but it was a matter of seconds between that reality and certain death. He insists to this day that he slept through 12 miles of windy mountain road going 60+ mph, only to wake up right at the last moment between life and death. The story usually ends with him tearing up saying �I don�t know if there�s angels, but I know there�s something bigger going on in this universe than our human brains have been able to understand yet. If I wouldn�t have woken up right when I did, you kids wouldn�t be here today and that�s something that feels pretty close to spiritual.�
