IF I had not agreed to follow my friend to the Dean Sherman seminar in FGA, I would not have met my wife.
IF the genetic dice were rolled another way, I would have lived my brother’s life, and he mine. This is something I think about a lot, not that I have supplanted God’s divine will with the Fates, but an exploration of John Calvin’s predestination.
IF I hadn’t decided to change jobs last year, I’d probably be still working in the office now.
IF I had not met my good friend Dave the Slayer in the first week of university, those five years there would have been a lot less fun. Hell yeah. Late nights playing Ultima VIII on the PC, Metallica blasting on the boombox… riding my Honda RC80 together to the library to use the dial-up Internet there… great times.
IF I hadn’t been saved as a 7 year old child, I would probably never be a Christian until today. Sometimes I strongly believe this. But of course, its one of those things in life I would never find out, for the better.
FIVE “If”s that would have made your life somewhat different today. From 2ann.

We ponder about the many ifs in life from time to time, though one way or another, things do turn out alright eventually. Such is life, it has its mysterious way of showing us the passage we travel through.

Indeed!

The 2nd “If” is one to think about….

but of course, as Einstein once said, God does not play dice…

It’s very thoughtful and reflective, thanks for sharing.
“There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven.”
Ecclesiastes 3:1-3
And with that, there is always a very good reason why certain things happened the way it did!
