The Fan


I know some of you are looking for evidence of God’s existence. With so much oddity going on all around us right now, I imagine it is easy to overlook considering the past as well.

I recommend searching your past experiences as well as your current experiences. You may find that some old memories will now make more sense if while you reconsider them, you also think about whether or not God may have played a direct role in those experiences.

I have a few stories of my own that would be very on-topic for this and I would love to share them with you now, but without you first knowing more about my unique circumstances, the stories wouldn’t make much sense. So what I’m going to do is share the story of an experience someone else had a long time ago.

I think he will recognize the story, but just in case he would otherwise wonder if I could be talking about someone else, I’ll say this about him to help. His first name starts with “K” and many years ago, he would often sit on a big rock next to a major thoroughfare near his family’s home, just watching the traffic pass by.

It happened when he was young; middle school or high school age. He was lying in bed trying to sleep when he had a seemingly random thought about an electric fan in his bedroom. It had been running day and night, nonstop for years and he thought to himself, “someday, that fan is going to stop”. A moment later, that fan, which had been running for years, stopped. At the time, it seemed to be an almost-too-amazing coincidence, but he attributed it to just being mere chance and continued to do so for many years to come.

I don’t know how he feels about that event these days, but I can’t help but think that if he is still attributing it to mere chance, that he may feel differently about it upon reconsideration if in addition to whatever he thought about it previously, he also considers whether or not God may have been giving him something to reflect back upon later.

As I write this, I find myself wondering; could there possibly be such an abundance of stories like this out there, that it would be impossible to attribute them as being stories about events of mere chance if we knew how many there are? I don’t know. I want to know though! And I will share mine later when they will make sense.

God bless you!
