Ohio Woman Grateful for Hang-Up Call

SUMMERFORD, Ohio -- A woman says her life was likely saved when she answered a hang-up phone call.

Mary Dhume was watching television Monday night when the phone in the next room rang. She got up to answer it, but there was no one at the other end of the line.

Suddenly, she heard breaking glass and saw her living room wall collapse onto
the chair where she'd been sitting.

A pickup truck had missed the curve on the road in front of Dhume's home and smashed into the century-old house. Dhume said she saw the driver run away as she dialed 911.

Three hours later, State Highway Patrol troopers arrested Carlos Cummings, 41, of Mechanicsburg, on a charge of failing to control a vehicle.

"The phone ringing at that particular time? That's one of those things people
would never believe," Dhume said. "Maybe it was God calling to tell me to get
out of my living room."

Praise the lord....why didn't she *69 Him. Then we can call God and find out the answers to Lifes most perplexing questions....

Edit: Prolly would get the auto message "The Nextel customer you are trying to reach is out of the local calling area...please hang up and try agan later, Message G-45"

Awsome story! But...
pure coincidence. She got lucky.

Example:
Every time a major commercial aircraft crashes, there are people that missed the flight and thank God for sparing them.

People miss flights every day. It is only logic that if one crashes, there is someone somewhere that missed it. God had zero to do with it.

I believe it was without question divine intervention. God's world, God's people, God's airplanes, God's telephones, God's automobiles, and most importantly God's control. The frequency in which miracles occur is more than we can possibly and humanly fathom. Luck does not exist.

i got another trippy one for you guys. ill try not to make it long.

Victim(friends brother)gets in a really bad car accident,face hits windshield first then victim flies back and hits rear winshield, entire face is damaged. broken ribs arms, broken everything perty much. on the way to the hospital he goes in a comma and doctors say theres no way he'll make it do to the damage.
at the hospital the doctor operates and does his work immidiatly. goes out and tell the family face to face that the victim will be ok.
next day the family goes to the hospital and try to find the doctor to thank him , but he is nowhere to be found , no records of the name , no one had ever heard of him , and no one who works in the hospital knows anything about him. the family never saw the doctor again. but they think it was an act of god.
the victim today only has a few scars on his face and one messed up eye.
that is a miracle!!!

Didn't know God was a telemarketer.

Seriously, phone calls without anyone on the other end are simply auto-dialing telemarking equipment building a que for live operators. If no person is available when the autodialer gets through, guess what?

Not so mysterious to me. Unless someone wants to explain why Mary was entitled to a miracle call, when thousands of innocent children die of measles and water born illness every DAY around the world. I guess it's easier for God to ring up a call, than to fix all those naturally dangerous situations.

I'm with you 100% on that one. I was never babtized or anything and well, let's see, i've been attacked by two different dogs, when i was 1, my mom put me on the kitchen table strapped in a car seat. I fell off and landed flat on my face. I'm fine. I had that accident last week and walked away, gotten headaches that prevented me from going somewhere that something bad happened (example- I had to call into work one night because i was sick. There were always fights and drug deals and things going on at this bowling alley that i used to work for for two years. That night, there was a gang fight in there. Another time i wasn't in, two guys started shooting guns around outside). I've sinned many many times. God didn't have anything to do with that. If you believe that god had something to do with it, who's to say it was your god? Maybe i'm a Pagan and i believe in Odin or something? It's pure coincidence, not an act of god.

This is one of the most common questions among those who are unknowing to God and His ways. He is simultaneously omnipotent as well as omniscient. Our future as we know it has already been dictated by him.

You would appear to be a guy who has an explanation for everything as long as it doesn't involve your creator. Read these articles and let me know what you think:

See, that's why i'm an Atheist for life. The ideas that they present are so broad that they can be interpreted in countless ways. God is always responsible for the positive but whenever something bad happens, blame it on Satan. Has anyone read the Satanic bible? It's not about sacraficing animals and eating babies. Someone who worked in the World Trade Center went outside to smoke a cigarette just as a plane hit their tower- it's an act of god as his life was saved. Bring up the Crusades, the Inquisitions, Salem witch trials, etc as the list of harm that religion has brought about is endless and god had nothing to do with it. What ever happened to Zeus and Ra and Odin? Where'd they go?

From what i understand, suicide will buy you a one way ticket to hell. God's already done us the favor of making our lives pointless and planning them for us hasn't he? So wouldn't he know we were going to do that right from the start since he's pretty much making us do it? Why would he punish us for it then? It's his "divine plan" that we mere mortals can't possibly begin to comprehend isn't it. That would be like me telling forcing my son to drink a beer and then beating the unmercyful hell out of him for doing what i said (or forced upon him).
"Our future as we know it has already been dictated by him." Yep, that sounds like free will to me. He's already made up our decisions for us but he'll still punish us for doing what he essentially programmed us to do. Oh yeah, it all makes sense now
