There is nothing meta-physically heightened about my state of being (that I know of)…I mean I did read an article last night on the nature of quantum mechanics and how it may relate to spacetime and consciousness, but I also choked on my bran flakes this morning.
I usually roll out of bed around 6:30am EST and proceed to get four kids between the ages of 6 and 13 ready for school—which is a challenge in and of itself—but the absolute first thing I do is check my phone’s lock screen for a text alert from my dear wife usually asking for a small favor (the proverbial straw that threatens to break the camel’s back).
This morning the alert was there, with the little green text icon, but the name next to the icon was not my wife’s name. The name was the name of a childhood friend, who I had only seen maybe twice in the last twenty years. A few years ago I saw him for for a few seconds outside a gas station and then I saw him again a couple years after that at a restaurant, three tables over. In both cases I did not say much more than: Hi—how are ya doin’.
After brushing my teeth, when I looked at the text again, it was my wife’s name next to the icon (and a message from her that appeared), not a message from Florian.
Strange. I knew what I had seen. And a feeling compelled me to contact him.
I knew that Florian’s father had recently—a couple months back—had a nearly fatal accident…so I figured I would offer some help, and send up a quick prayer. The feeling said, send a message now.
I sent a message through social media, since I could not even locate his number in my new cell phone. I told him that I was praying peace over his family.
One hour later he messaged me back. His dad was on the mend he had said, but his daughter was currently in an out-of-state hospital, having had a surgery the day before. He asked for continued prayers—for rapid healing…which I promised to give.
Perhaps we already know the name for the quantum mechanics happing at the subatomic level. His name is God (and He either has access to our cellular devices, or influence over our consciousness, or—probably—both).
