It's a natural urge to want to ensure your kids are safe and not in harms way. If he truly felt that he needed to leave, then I doubt whether it was a calling from God or a psychic connection, he would have gone.<br /><br />At least, I, would have gone.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028701661455776376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432207212937598092.post-26088159511277610072010-04-28T18:51:38.283-07:002010-04-28T18:51:38.283-07:00Interesting question D.

Whether by speech or just a feeling of need to get home like in this story, or get out, like in the diver story. I'm not a total skeptic, I was a devout Christian (Pentacostal) in my early and late teens, and even when I was 21/22. But I had too many questions that couldn't be answered, which made me seek alternate truths.<br /><br />I prayed to God, kind of gave him an ultimatum, one final chance to show me that his way was the right way, I was driving at the time, 2 hours from home and anyone I knew. I felt the need to stop, so I pulled over at a public park / restroom, and to my bewilderment the Pastor and his wife from the church I spent so many years at were there having a picnic. I was excited, felt like I'd been answered. But, they didn't have much useful to say. Same old answers, or lack of. So, do I believe that God communicates with us via feelings / urges. Maybe. I wouldn't want to rule it out.<br /><br />But although this is an anticipated answer, I think that in the case of the kid and the father, the father left the kids home for the first time, I'm sure he was anxious. And the kids being left alone for the first time... If they'd been left home alone plenty of times before and both parent and child were fine and happy with it and used to it, I'd be more inclined to believe that there was some kind of interfering force, whether God or other.<br /><br />If the father was not a minister, would he have thought this to be an act of God?Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028701661455776376noreply@blogger.com
