God Saves Delusional Dolt from River Death

[Bragi]

WINNIPEG — Lisa Klassen has no memory of the accident that nearly killed her, but says she felt the hand of God throughout her recovery.

The 23-year-old flight instructor looked in good spirits yesterday, smiling often and answering questions about the morning, 10 days ago, when the Jeep she was driving flipped over the edge of a bridge and landed upside down on the frozen Red River.

She was saved by passersby who pulled her out of the Jeep as it filled with water and performed CPR to get her breathing again.

"It was a miracle. It was God's hand, and obviously it wasn't my time," she said. "I know everything is a part of His plan."

Makes me wonder why god flipped over her jeep to begin with. Was it just a slow day in heaven and he wanted some entertainment?

I note in the article that she doesn't really credit the people who rescued her, as much as acknowledge just how "baffling" it was that they showed up, risked their own lives, and had the right skills to save her life.

She said she has heard a lot about her rescue, although hasn't seen any of the photos of the crash site, and has met with the two men who pulled her from the Jeep.

"I'm sure I thanked them. It was just really incredible to meet them, the fact that they were there and were willing to save my life and then risk their lives - it's just baffling," she said.

These delusional, born-again idiots annoy me to no end. If one of them went into the river in front of me, I'd be sorely tempted to stand by and wait to see if god shows up to rescue them.

1. god is quirky

i guess god didn't much like these three guys ... not part of his plan ...

Huntsville when their sleds went through the ice of Lake of Bays."

2. Quite so. Here's what I can't figure out...

What's god got against Dale Earnhardt Jr.? He hasn't let him win a Nascar race in ever so long.

4. God seems to have let Dale Jr win the 150 qualifying race

and has him as one of the favorites to win todays race in California , if God doesn't decide to rain it out . On a more serious note i am not a christian or believe in god in what would be considered the conventional way but have always believed tolerance was one of the tenants of progressives yet i don't see it on this board . In the most recent survey on this topic by Decima it was revealed that 71 % of NDP voters not only believe in God but that god is responsible for the origin of the human race . When people that identified themselves as Liberal voters were polled 68 % held the same belief . When the question was just do you believe in God about 80 % of Canadians said yes and in Quebec that number rose to 90 %

3. "I'm sure I thanked them"

Well then, all your bases are covered. The main credit goes to GAWD and the minor kudos go to the ones who ACTUALLY PERFORMED THE DEED.

I agree with you - if it happened right in front of me, I'd stand around waiting to see the "hand of God" in action.
