More than a Coincidence in Our Midst

More Than a Coincidence in Our Midst is a collection of stories that, no matter what you believe, you will find some of them astounding, thought-provoking, inspiring, entertaining, and some of them comforting. Although a few of them are mine, most of them are from people I have known or met along the way. They are all true. I have communicated with each person individually. When I began collecting these stories, they just sprung up everywhere like the daylilies in the spring in Atlanta--with little effort.When people would tell me that they could hardly wait to read my book, I would respond that I felt the same way because I never knew what story would be told to me next.As you are about to read these stories, perhaps you will stop and ask yourself questions. Some people believe in the randomness of events, in coincidences, and others believe there are no such thing as coincidences. There are so many things I cannot explain or understand; however, there are a few things I absolutely know. I know that God has a plan for each of us, and He has given all of us free will. I see evidences of God's fingerprints all around us and like to think of them as God's divine assurances that we are not alone on our journey no matter what is happening. It is my prayer that no matter what you believe or wonder about, you can seek the truth and the truth will set you free. To seek the truth is quite simple--just ask to be shown. You don't have to believe in anything. Just say, "e;God, I don't even know if You exist, but if You do, please reveal Yourself to me."e; Finding the truth is just that simple. After all, just remember whether or not you believe in gravity or deny its existence, it does exist.I am stepping out in faith as I share the magic power of the words and experiences of myself and others as I fulfil my long-standing dream to share this collection with you. I have included one amazing event that occurred on my very last day before I retired from my thirteen-year banking career just two minutes before we closed the door. You may read about it in my introduction. I hope you will be as astounded as I was. My prayer is that all these stories may open your eyes to see your world in a different way!May each of you reading this book and everyone who contributed as well be blessed without measure!
