Divine Intervention...

The Associated Press recently reported the story of two New Zealand pilots running out of fuel in their microlight airplane. The men offered prayers and were able to make an emergency landing in a field — coming to rest right next to a 20-foot-tall sign reading, "Jesus is Lord."

Grant Stubbs and Owen Wilson, both from the town of Blenheim on the country's South Island, were in midflight when their plane's engine sputtered, coughed and died. "My friend and I are both Christians so our immediate reaction in a life-threatening situation was to ask for God's help," Stubbs said. He added, "When we saw that sign, we started laughing."

Nearby residents provided the two men with fuel to fly their plane back home.

How do you think this story would have been reported if the plane had crashed into the sign? "Two Christians Meet Jesus Their Lord"?
