Wow really? So you cherry pick certain events to mold whatever it is you are trying to convince yourself of? So screw Christchurch New Zealand (no pun intended) or any of the other disasters that did NOT happen on the 11th day of a given month? The mental gymnastics are out in Olympian style force lately.

Bering in Mind: Signs, signs, everywhere signs: Seeing God in tsunamis and everyday events

Our minds restlessly gather up bits of the past as if they were important clues to what just happened. And no stone goes unturned. Nothing is too mundane or trivial; anything to settle our peripatetic thoughts from arriving at the unthinkable truth that there is no answer because there is no riddle, that life is life and that is that.
