Mary Dhume was literally saved by the bell when she got up to answer the phone.

As Dhume, of Summerford, Ohio, picked up the receiver in the hallway, an out-of-control truck crashed through the living room where she had just been sitting.

There was nobody on the line, she said, adding: "Maybe it was God calling to tell me to get out of my living room."

Actually, I was just overreacting fortune. Or it was my Christian side popping up, I don't know. I (...) don't remember Confused

Sorry, I watched 'The World According to Bush' last night and i now have a bit of a set against people attributing worldly events to divine intervention. That footage of George Dubbya on that televangelist's show was enough to make me sick.

Oddly enough, I wrote that 'Least of Men' poem a little while before I saw that program, but when I went back and read it afterwards it suddenly became a lot more vitriolic.

Nah, I don't mind what people believe, as long as they don't go around saying I have to believe it too (or anyone else for that matter). That goes for religious types and political types.
