Coincidences that are interesting.

Several years ago, I traveled to a city I had never been too for my high school best friend's wedding. At the reception, I struck up a conversation with the best man's mother, who lived in California, where the groom and best man were born and raised and where the groom met the bride in college. She told me that although she had been in California for decades, she was raised in a small town on the East Coast, the same town my father was from. We thought that coincidence was odd enough. After all, I grew up in a different town, also on the East Coast, the same as the bride, and over 500 miles away from the small town she and my father grew up in.

Turns out the best man's mother was my father's high school sweetheart. Strangest thing ever.

I was wondering around where I thought was the space - in deep snow - and looked down to see one marker partially exposed (melted snow?). It was my mother's.

I believe there is no such thing as a coincidence. It is all planned. You were led to your mother's grave by an unseen entity. I am not joking because I've had too many things happen and I know they were not coincidences. One was deciding to go back to the office after a dental appointment rather than stopping to get a cup of coffee. Had I stopped, I would have run into a man who came into my office regularly and I would have been talking with him and the stray bullet that hit and killed him would probaably have hit and killed me, as well.

So if everything is planned it was ok for him to be hit and killed by that stray bullet, but not you?

Not religious, which you may have guessed, but I find this whole thought process very confusing.

I find it an interesting coincidence that every person obsessed with President Obama's birth certificate is white.

Not true! I was behind a minivan the other day with a "where's the birth certificate" bumper sticker. Black driver. I did a doubletake..

I didn't say it was ok for him to be shot and killed, I simply related the story and that I don't think it was a coincidence that I returned to office and did not stop at coffee shop.

Affirmative action recipients aren't interested in meeting qualifications. Color is mostly what counts.

I call bullshit. How would you know! If you glanced at another driver and it was John Boehner or Snookie with curly hair how would you EVEN KNOW!!!
