“Whether a person believes in God or not, if someone is achieving extraordinary things, then I believe God is in that process.” The Very Reverend John R. HallSlow motion, a Hollywood technique, is the only way to describe it. I wasn’t in a movie but in the midst of a near miss on a freeway on-ramp where time stood still, these words flashed through my mind, “You were not intended to die here; God has something for you to do in your life that you have not done yet.” I’m not extraordinary. But, this thing happened to me before I knew God, making it an extraordinary thing to me. It’s imprinted on my memory, as it should be I suppose, since it changed my life. Once on the freeway I was so shaken I had to pull over in the dirt. Then I had to try to explain myself to my passenger, but there were no words. Since I love a mystery, this began a quest to discover what it was I was meant to do. Even today after years of listening to God and trying to do His will, I still wonder if I’ve done it yet, or not. Lord, just knowing that the Creator of the universe knows and loves me is extraordinary; if there’s any ordinary thing I can do for You…may I never forget the sound of Your voice. Amen “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” John 10:27 “And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it.’” Isaiah 30:21 What are your thoughts?

I cried over that short phrase, "May I never forget the sound of your voice."
