Power from above?
So my quick thought for today is the affirmation that there is a Supreme Being and he does listen to our prayers.
Some of you are not religious people, but you have to hear me out on this one:
I began my MBA program taking Financial Accounting, Managerial Accounting and, Statistics for Economics. They are not too difficult, but I am much more a marketing kind of guy. My thoughts are in color and they scatter. Some blame it on ADD, others praise it as creativity. Needless to say, I’m still adjusting to the logic of ledger balances and raw data columns.
On Wednesday we had our first exam in accounting. In addition to studying, I prayed in preparation that I would be able to either remember what I reviewed, or magically find a way to get by on the test.
Well 10 minutes into the exam, the sound of a siren rushed over campus and bursted into our room. I’m not from Texas and neither is half of the class which is studying abroad from China. To us, it seemed more like a jail break (not that I’m from Alcatraz either). The rest of class immediately recognized the siren as a tornado warning. They dropped what they were doing and began shuffling around. Then from the PA system, a voice snapped the chaos and directed us to avoid windows and relocate under the stairwell.
I humored myself in the irony of feeling relief during a tornado at the opportunity to abandon an exam. For a split second my thoughts shifted to the prayers I offered in preparation for the exam. I mean, it was clearly evident that I had successfully called down power from heaven to spare me from the test. There is no other explanation for a tornado in Dallas, TX - right?
So either you are one of the three Nephites or caused the tornado using your demonic powers. Either way, it was a pretty cool story!
