Luck of the Draw

Luck - there is no substitute for it in life. Luck is what allowed the exact egg to be fertilized by the exact sperm which created us. When you think about the chain of events since the beginning of time that led to each of us being born, and that if any of those events were just slightly altered we would not be here, it's mind-boggling.

Luck is what allowed us to survive in the womb and kept us safe during the early childhood years. Luck is what allowed us to get through the difficult teenage years, where any one of the irresponsible decisions we all make during that time could have killed us. There is a desire in all of us to want more than just luck - to know there's a reason, a purpose. But, for me, it's just luck. We're here for a short time and, if we're lucky, we get to live a full life.

Luck or Grace of God ... I suppose it depends on your level of belief in fate.

Well, if Grace of God is applied to lucky things, then the Wrath of God should be applied to unlucky things. If God is given credit for good things, then why is there never blame for bad ones?
