Atheist Father's Prayers Answered;
BCN | 07/06/09 | Teresa Neumann

Miracle baby, one-week-old Ava Isabella Stinson weighs only 2 pounds 4 ounces, but the tiny tike is already changing the lives of the people around her. Like her parents, Natalie Paquette and Richard Stinson.

It all started when Natalie went into labor three months before her due date and found there was "no room at the Inn" for hospital care for the premature Ava in her hometown of Hamilton, Ontario, where a shortage of neonatal beds is an ongoing problem.

The link does not work for me but this appears to be the same article from "The Buffalo News (NY State)". This was previously posted here on FR but this is a longer and more fully explored piece, especially as the previous news had the parents lacking passports to be able to visit their child (they got a 'humanitarian parole' for the visitation just by asking for it).

Note the changed attitude of the 'atheist' father; “I was an atheist,” he said in a lengthy phone interview from his Hamilton home. “Now I’m considering going to church and being a believer. There’s got to be someone up there who’s saving our little daughter.” I hope that this includes he and the mother getting married (sorry couldn't resist).

Don't be sorry about it; you are correct in your conviction on this. If people don't like it, it's their problem, not yours.

The school of hard knocks is often the only thing that will be a committed atheist or habitual sinner around.

God often uses the small things of this world, to get our attention :)

It’s interesting that positive things happening are supposed to be a reason to believe, but bad things happening aren’t supposed to be a reason to disbelieve.

He does reject them when He clearly present Himself to them..but He gives them grace, as He does all of us (either for a time) or for eternity..

God’s goodness is not dependent on man.
