I always need to remember this

What is below is from an email...

[I wrote this on a video site. The quoted paragraph below caught my attention and reminded me of an occurrence I've mentioned before, but it's worth remembering. The article that quoted paragraph is from is about an English atheist who had a near death experience and told the surgeon that he'd seen the Supreme Being...]

>Robert Blair Kaiser is an author and a former correspondent for Time magazine. Reviewing a book about miracles he wrote: "In 1994, behind the wheel of my Mercedes, I lurched out of my driveway and was awakened from my dreamy preoccupation by the sight of a speeding car bearing down on me, not five feet away on my left. I knew I was a dead man. "All of a sudden, that car was on my right. The driver weaved a bit, braked for a moment and then drove off, shaking his head in disbelief, as I was. For it was clear to me, there was no way he could have missed crashing into me, no way he could have steered aside. His car had flashed through my car, his steel and glass and rubber passing through my steel and glass and rubber like a ray of light through a pane of alabaster."

This is a *very* common experience. I've had it. I had run a red light, and a policeman had seen me and flashed his lights, but he couldn't follow yet because traffic was moving in front of him, so I pretended not to see him and kept driving. I turned right into a neighborhood I didn't know (it was night, for the record), took right turns and left turns just trying to get away from the police car. Then I emerged out onto a main street and had to get my bearings. I saw I needed to turn left but had to turn right and get into a left turn lane. All this time I was looking in my rearview mirror (for police lights) more than the road in front of me.

Then the light turned green and I started to do a U-turn, again, looking in my rearview mirror more than what was in front of me. Just then a large, old Buick sedan type of car came barreling into me, never stopped for its red light, never slowed down, it was on top of me five, ten feet away, total collision, nothing to do.

Then at that moment the only way I can describe it is reality became like a cubist painting, and my eyes were shut, then when I opened them I was *back* in the left turn lane and the Buick type sedan was about 200 or 300 feet down the road past me.

I wasn't supposed to be there at that time and that place. Running from the police car put me there. An unusual circumstance. I wasn't suppose to die then. It was like a power lifted my car and put it back in the left turn lane. I've read similar accounts from others (Christian blogger Carla Rolfe wrote of a similar incident she'd experienced) and because of what I experienced I believe them.

ps- I want to remember it because even at the time I knew it was a supernatural incident and that it was a rare glimpse that people can get that there is something beyond what we experience here, but it's easy to forget even such dramatic events.

pps- To the usual mockers and skeptics of such events (and I refer to the mockers one finds among the ranks of Christians) the event I describe is different from more run of the mill similar events. The event I describe (and what I recall Carla Rolfe describing, and what this Time journalist describes) is *dramatic.* It's not an event that could have been something else or could be interpreted differently or what have you. It's an in-your-face 'wow' event where you *know* you've experienced a supernatural event. I.e. it's an event very different from something like: "I felt somebody push me back onto the curb when I was about to step in front of that car I didn't see. I think it must have been my deceased grandmother..."
