There is a business owner near my house who tends to erect signs, about 3' x 5' or so, espousing various Christian-themed sentiments on the berm overlooking the freeway. The one I pased today on the way to an appointment said: Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous. A bit simplistic, I thought - as I do about a number of the sentiments posted - and drove on. As I was pulling out of the parking lot on my way home, I noticed the car behind me had a bumper sticker with what looked like the word "Coincidence" on it. I checked and yep, it was the same saying. I had to laugh, since I'm such a sucker for irony.
(Blog heading refers to what I found out later, namely that it's originally a quote from Einstein: Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.)
