Bill D, I gave those two examples only as two that I myself was told. I didn't particularly like the young man- I thought he was closed minded, pretty full of himself and somewhat arrogant. (One time I heard him telling someone about a parade he had seen on television the night before. He said, I couldn't believe it- they were carrying Satan's signs! I said, Jeff, I saw that parade too. That had nothing to do with Satan- those signs were 'NO NUKE' signs. He said, Oh, "Ebbie", don't be naive.)

The girl who wrecked her car is the daughter of a dear friend of mine.

As for relying on 'coincidence', that's my whole point. It is not coincidental at all, except in happening at the same time, if you're talking about it being meaningless. My experience has taught me that when one focuses on a need, the need gets answered. How or by whom, I don't know.
