Funny story.
I was driving home from work last night. As I was driving, I came to a stretch of highway pretty close to my house. I think to myself, “You know, I wonder if I’ll see a deer. I’ve never hit a deer before. Let alone had a car accident.”
Not even TWO SECONDS later, a deer streaks across the highway and I hit it.
It runs off into the distance and I keep driving. I stammer for a moment, looking around in bewilderment. I think all at once:
Shock: I hit a deer.
Sigh of relief I didn’t get hurt and my luck from the situation: I hit a deer!
Realization that I hit a deer: I hit a deer…
The gravity that I might have damaged my vehicle: …I hit a deer.
I pull into the church parking lot (I was going to church anyway), and I step to the front of my vehicle to assess the damage. The only thing was that there was hair in my grill. Nothing dented. Nothing was wrong, and you probably wouldn’t have even known it would have happened if you didn’t know the story.
I think everyone—at least myself—like hearing coincidence stories. Heck, if you’re in the mood for some, here’s a website that has an article featuring six examples:

Whether you are religious or just live every day life on Earth, I think you gotta admit… there’s something about coincidences that really makes a person think.
