| Prompt: Do you have a lucky object that you keep nearby? Do you even believe that objects can hold luck? I don't believe perse that objects can bring good luck. I know there are a lot of items that are considered lucky, and those who find that it is the case are blessed indeed. That being said: there is an item that I keep with me on a regular basis, more as a reminder of the Lord's provision for Rhonda than the luck factor. On 8-6-2008, a routine pacemaker test revealed that Rhonda's battery needed to be replaced right away. It was dangerously low and she was experiencing many of the symptoms of a person with a low pacemaker battery including fatigue, increased seizures, and overall malaise. Two days later; on 08-08-08; the day the Olympic games started, and a tragic bus accident dominated the news stations air time; Rhonda was in surgery and the pacemaker battery was being replaced. What started out as a 2 hour procedure ended up so much longer than that, because her operation was delayed due to an Emergency heart situation in the ER that her surgeon had to address immediately. At one point in my time in the waiting room, I looked down at my key chain and among the keys, carabiner's, and the like was an 8 ball. You see on that day two lives were saved, and the funny thing is that I had gotten the 8 ball for my key chain collection less than 3 days before the operation. I had procured 2; for some unknown reason; and later in the year wound up losing my whole set of keys after taking a fall walking home from work one morning. So still I have one 8 ball for my key chain collection that until recently I kept with my keys as a reminder of the Lord's provision on 8-8-8 for the Copes, and the life of another heart patient who was in a critical battle for his/her life. And the funny thing is that in the game of pool, the 8 ball is the losing ball if you happen to hit it into the pocket before you hit the other seven you have to clear; solids or stripes; and it is the only black ball in the whole set of pool balls. I've enjoyed many a game of pool and through all that time the 8 ball was my friend in a lot of the cases. On the other hand I've felt the sting of the ball as it drops into the pocket just ahead of the last of my seven balls to be cleared from the table. 8 ball lucky? It's a fickle thing. One with enough skill can manipulate that ball at will. Otherwise it's a crap shoot as to whether you win or lose. Thanks for reading beloved! Copenator out! BA, M Div |
