Reminds me of the story about the man in the flood who refused a neighbors ride to safety in a 4 wheel drive SUV as the water started coming into the house on the grounds that "God would take care of him". A short time later as he was looking out the 2nd floor window because water had risen on the ground floor search and rescue came by with a boat and urged him to get in to be taken to safety. He once again declined saying that God would protect him. Before long he ended up on the roof of his house as the water continued to rise. a military helicopter came and hovered overhead and sent a rescuer down in a rope but the man sent the rescuer back up alone telling him that God would protect him.
The water soon completely covered the house and the man drowned. When he got to heaven in astonishment he asked the Lord "What am I doing here? I trusted you to save me!" To which the Lord replied "I sent a SUV, boat, and helicopter! What more did you want?

I certainly have faith in God to protect, save (in the physical sense), provide, and heal me. But I WILL jump in a boat during a flood, go to the doctor when my appendix ruptures, work in order to make money to buy food, and shoot first and ask questions later when my home is invaded.

She quoted ME and since I rarely, if ever, say anything anyone can honestly disagree with, does it really matter what I said?
