I have always enjoyed the music of Charlie Daniels going all the way back to his pot smoking hell raising days of "Long Haired Country Boy."  It was sad to see that he like all the rest of us are subject to having a stroke.....and he had one!  His comment about the matter was he could see the "Hand of God" in every moment of the health emergency he faced.

[QUOTE]Charlie reveals that his stroke was triggered by high blood pressure. "It had gotten higher than what I realized it was," he explains. "We have taken steps to remedy that, and we are back in the game."

Throughout his health scare, Charlie says he took comfort in realizing that "the fingerprints of God were all over" his experience ... pointing out that a plane was immediately available to take him from the slopes to Denver, and that the local hospital in Durango had only recently begun stocking the drug used to break up the blood clot in his brain. "It's just an absolute fact that God was looking after me," he says.[/QUOTE]

Men built the plane, developed the medicine and built the hospital that comforted this wealthy traveling musician.  So it appears God gave him a life threatning stroke to test man's ever growing skills?  God must have no problem using one of his believers as a rat in an experiment?  And if Heaven is a better place to be, why would Charlie want God to save him anyway? He could play “Long Haired Country Boy for Jesus’s personal enjoyment for eternity!  Religions need to try and bring reason and reality into their thoughts.

I wonder if Charlie Daniels can see the "Hand of God" in the tragedy, death and suffering going on in Haiti.  Is God just testing those Haitians so see if man has built efficient rescue forces?  God has no worry about taking tens of thousands of life for a test......

Men's minds work in strange ways....and that is why there are 10,000 religions!

Thank evolved common goodness for science, reason and technology!
