Nice try. But when it comes to god, the burden of proof is on you. Good luck with that!

Re: Pray for ALL racers and families
Bret, that's the most complete and concise depiction of the gospel of Christ I've ever seen.I know you have the agreement and the appreciation for your comments of many on this forum. I was very glad to read your comments. As far as injustice in this world, it has always been that way since the garden. I have to make sure I don't contribute to any of it in any way.That's my responsibility to my fellow man. I can't be responsible for what someone else does, I'm only accountable for my own actions. The evil in this planet didn't come from God, anyway.

And you are right about religion, it does control people with it's rules. What I'm saying is, this is ALL about a relationship, not a set of religious rules to follow. We follow Him and His rules or I should say commandments because we are thankful for what HE has done and died for us. And the commandments He put into place is for our own good and well being. Just like when you were a kid and your father gave you rules to follow, to keep you safe and out of trouble. Again, it's about a relationship, NOT a religion or set of rules. Bret Velde 2003 FS/?? |

Re: Pray for ALL racers and families
MY God is Alive and on his Throne!
In 1994 I was on the way back from the Divisional late at night with mytwo then young boys. I was pulling my E/SA Demon on a open trailer with my small 1/2 ton truck. I was on a two lane road that was narrow with steep shoulders on both sides. I was a new Christian at that time. A Mazda Miata that was about a hundred feet ahead of us tried to pass a truck on that narrow stretch. He hit headon a car going around 60 the other direction. The wreck was instant and massive. There was absolutely nothing that I could do to avoid a imminent accident and possible death for my young family! I closed my eyes and braced for the immediate crash. For the longest couple of seconds of my life = I did not feel anything at all. I opened my eyes and my entire rig was a couple hundred feet beyond the wreck in my rear view mirror. Feel free to chat with my boys or myself about this incident anytime you see us at the track. I am will swear under penalty of perjury the veracity of this incident. I have not related this incident outside of Church because not many would believe it and probably lock us all up at the Funny Farm. AGAIN: My God is Alive and on his Throne! We all believe whatever we believe = That is what makes us the people that are!

Re: Pray for ALL racers and families
You either see it or you don't. That's why it's described as faith. Some of the most educated and experienced people in the world who thought they were so smart stood in the presence of God and refused to see Him. The evidence of His working in history is there to see, but it can be denied by arrogance. Man's logic, science and mental abilities cannot even answer a simple question like "Is coffee good for me?", so why should I think that reason would provide an answer?
