A Miracle?

Shelley posted an article on Facebook today about a "miracle" that happened at the horrible massacre in Colorado.  Apparently a young woman was shot in the face, the bullet travelling through her nose and into her brain.  There were a few miracles at work here...the bullet was safely removed by a skilled surgeon but what he saw during the surgery is the true miracle.  The young lady had been born with a defect in the composition of her brain, a sort of tunnel through it that she had no idea existed because it didn't interfere with any of the major areas of the brain.  The bullet that could easily have killed or seriously injured her travelled through this tunnel leaving her with very little damage from being shot.


I really do want to say that this was just a wonderful coincidence but we know it wasn't.  Just think of all the things that had to be in sync for the bullet, shot indiscriminately by a madman, to have travelled in just the right trajectory to make it's way into and through that tunnel.


I believe in miracles even though I don't understand why a little six year old girl didn't receive one that awful day.  I believe that some things were meant to be...I just don't understand why they were meant to be.  I'm so happy for the lucky young lady but so pained by the loss of the little innocent child.  There are so many questions that need to be answered some day because too much of life here on earth makes no sense.
