Somebody mentioned Here O Israel's web site a couple of days ago, but in the hardness of my heart, I scoffed and didn't read it.
Then, just a few minutes ago, feeling a deep missingness in my life, I typed those fateful letters into my computer and found this: Quote | ISOLATED DIAPHRAGM One day I got in the company truck in which I hauled lumber. It was always kept clean and neat. As I crawled in, there was a white slip of paper lying on the seat, and I said "Lord, I wonder if that has a message on it?" I picked it up and read it. It said, "isolated diaphragm . . . look upstairs." Obviously, it was a note from a dispatcher to tell somebody where to look for a particular part in the warehouse. I laughed and thought, "Well, it might have another meaning, Lord, but I think this is a message to me. I don't know how or when you'll do it, but this will have significance, I'm sure." Then, I forgot about it. This happened on Wednesday or Thursday, and during the following weekend I helped put a roof on someone's home. The next Monday, I was at work, when about lunch time, while walking through the hangar, I heard this 'click, click, click,' at my feet and I thought, "It sounds like I have taps on my shoes." I lifted one shoe and, there, stuck into the middle of the heel was a huge, round roofing tack, the head of which was about the size of a quarter. If it had gone another eighth of an inch deeper, it would have reached my heel. I then remembered the piece of paper that said, "isolated diaphragm . . . look upstairs." I thought, "It would be just like the Lord to do just exactly the opposite," but I never thought of looking on the soles of my shoes, which was about as low as I could look. |
Well, COFFEE! Needless to say, the scales instantly fell from my eyes. Scoff if you will, but that kind of logic is impossible to deny. God is as real as that giant Satanic thumbtack on the wrong end of his body that missed maiming that fine Christian man by a mere 1/8 of an inch!! Talk about a miracle! How could I have ever doubted? If they taught Good Sound Theology like this in Sunday School, I never would have strayed from the faith.
I have not only repented, but I think I'll make a YouTube video about my new-found faith and the man who saved me.
