Proof of G-d

Proof of G-d

I believe in G-d.  My belief is absolute and unapologetic.  I'm not some whacko that thinks G-d is speaking to me.  But, I do know that he is looking out for me.  Today, he provided me with yet another example of his watchful eye.

I was driving on a highway, approaching an intersection.  I had a green light and was traveling about 10km faster than the posted limit.  Oncoming traffic also had a green light, and one of the oncoming drivers, who was stopped in the left-turn lane waiting for traffic to clear, decided to turn onto the side street while I was approaching him.  I probably would not have taken that chance, given the circumstances.  Fortunately, he completed his turn safely (but with little room to spare).

Unfortunately, the idiotic driver behind him decided he could follow - and also attempted the same turn without checking traffic.  An accident was unavoidable.  With only two car lengths between my car and the side of his SUV, I was preparing for the crash, staring at the face of his terrified passenger who, no doubt, was seeing his life flash before his eyes.

A combination of quick reflexes, the fact that my car was small and nimble, and particularly the brand new rubber on the road allowed a miraculous stop; literally inches from his SUV.  Physics would dictate that such a short stop was not possible.  The look of amazement in the face of the driver stopped for the red light on the side street who witnessed this event confirmed what I already knew... it was a miracle that an accident had not occurred.

I didn't honk my horn.  I didn't follow the idiotic driver for the purpose of confronting him about his life-threatening decision.  I simply continued on my way, grateful that nobody had been following behind me - lest I be the one critically injured by being hit from behind.

Thank G-d!
