Some percentage of every combat branch survives. And every once in a while someone dies struck by lightening from a blue sky.
When you use the word miracle, are you asserting you were singled out for survival by a specific act of God? Implying that those who didn't survive were specifically singled out to die?
I am not asserting anything, my survival is a fact. I survived situations that could have easily resulted in newspaper accounts. Implying what happened to others is not a consequence of my survival. As you stated ... "We are all going to die."
True... after a few times you can discount being saved from certain death as "luck".. or good fortune.. but after many times you simply must consider NOBODY is THAT lucky.. You must not consider your own personal experience as everyones personal experience.. There COULD be things available you are ignorant of..
I say that in response to the tenor of your posts.. And say to myself.. Boy.. does this guy(you) have some lessons to learn.. OR (sadly) NOT.. I can appreciate your position since I have a very hard head.. I am not an easy case for the Holy Spirit.. And appreciate the longsuffering of the Holy Spirit.. WHo is very very persistent.. thankfully..
