Burning a hole in my pocket....

I guess you could say I am a believer, like the Jhon Lennon song goes.... I had one strange experience this afternoon while driving. As I was riding with my son to an event for St. Patrick's Day, a non-beliver(believer holiday)!... I was trying to light my cigarette... In the last few days, my lighters are not working, so I am usig a book of matches. I already had the windows rolled down to let in some cool air... I thought I put my match out, by waiving it around, after the smoke lite. Then, I placed it into the ashtray, or so I thought I had! While waiting on the red light to turn green, I start to smell something yucky... So I looked down, and saw that the match was not on the ashtray.. It had fallen into my purse just sitting below - in between the seats of the Grand Caravan I was driving!!!!! Oh Shoooeeee.. I thought... So quickly I put out the climbing flames out by sawtting at them... The purse, which about a week old.. was ruined! But, my believe of acciental cause of dangerous acts caused to me to feel more related to faith, or happenstance or something... Has anything like this every happened in your lives.. Mylotters? Tell me about it... What was it.... When did it happen? What do you believe about it now?

You wre very lucky, The only thing I had recently happen to me is my electric heater started smoking while i was asleep. I heard a voice telling me "WAKE UP" I woke up and saw it was smoking and i immediately unplugged it and threw it outside. If that voice had not have told me to "Wake up" I would have burned up in my mobile home. By the way my son was sound asleep in his bedroom and no one else was home so somebody up there was looking out for me.
