My property was purchased by a veteran who actually wanted to live there, but a lot of houses were bought by people who had hoped to sell them at even higher prices, and they got stuck with the properties, waiting for the NEXT housing boom.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Many years ago, when our children were small, we had a particularly tough Christmas upcoming. We were really tight financially, and discussed not having a tree, or going out in the woods and finding a small one.
As we were coming home from Church, we were waiting at an intersection for traffic to clear, and a flatbed semi crossed in front of us with a load of Christmas trees for sale. One of them fell off in the roadway, so I got out of the truck, threw it in the bed of the truck, and took off to chase the semi to let him know he lost part of the load. As we rounded the corner where he should have been, there were no vehicles in sight for a long way.
It was probably one of the most beautiful blue spruce Christmas trees we ever had!The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Though, waiting for Jesus to come back is still waiting. Just not in a waiting room. The closest thing I can think of is that one time many years ago, my mom was driving herself and us four kids to see relatives and accidentally missed and exit, but missing the exit resulted in us avoiding a bad storm. But there are times that something bad could happen from missing an exit. Oh, my little sister has avoided quite a few car accidents thanks to observation skills and intuition. I've heard one should listen to intuition, because there might be more to it than just one's brain scanning one's surroundings and not being consciously aware of all of the data.If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!

This one is not so much a "spiritual" coincidence, but....
When I was police, I had just gone on duty, and hit the main highway. I drove to the city limit, and turned right into a side street, intending to turn around, and head back the other way on the main drag.
As I was making the turn, dispatch called "All 700 cars, prepare to copy".
I pulled into the skirt of a driveway to write down the message dispatch was about to broadcast.
They continued "Report of a B&E in progress at 103 Collins....."
I knew I was in the 100 block of Collins, and looked up --- address 103.
I called "707 is out on location", and a woman was standing in the doorway pointing "around back".
Dispatch received the call at 9:32 PM,
dispatched the call at 9:33,
707 (me) on the scene at 9:33,
Arrest made at 9:34.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

As they were just about 6 feet from me, somebody behind me called my name, and it sounded urgent. I looked over my shoulder and saw a shotgun flying through the air toward me, I grabbed it, turned back toward them, and racked it once to show I meant business. They stopped in their tracks, and I suggested again, "how bout sitting back down and having another drink". I guess they decided they were thirsty, and turned around.
When things finally calmed down, I tried to find out who threw me the shotgun - it came out of the car I was riding in - but nobody would fess up. To this day, it's still a mystery, but probably saved my life.

There was an electro-mechanical mount where you had to know where the release button was up under the dashboard - so --- that was another factor. Who knew?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
