Honestly..... ask yourself a question. If the odds of winning a lottery are one in 13 million, than how does anyone win the lottery? Similarly, if you had 25 nail polish bottles and one was called faith what were the chances that you'd pick that bottle? If one was called "Bang" would you start pondering the Big Bang?

Creativity is often a good sign of intelligence.
Then again, so is a dirrrty mind.

Trust me, many things in life are not coincidences.

I've had so many "coincidences," happening so close to each other, that you wouldn't believe.

But I must say, your spirit is what God speaks to, not your body, so I don't know why God would particularly use physical nail polish for a sign.

I guess the title would be:

It seems that if you believe that God is in control, coincidences become an impossibility.

interesting. no, i wouldnt start to think of the big bang so what does it mean then? it's probably just that ive beenthinking about religion lately so i made the connection. what seems strange to me though is that all of the other bottles have names like passion punch and portfolio pink.
this gives me a great money making idea to develop a line of christian nail polish!

I think the sole was really your soul telling you something. Yeah that was it, it WAS your soul.
