"My past life was hell. I was homeless, jobless, in jail. I knew I had a drug and alcohol problem but I didn't know how to deal with it. But when I look at that X-ray, I think, 'God must love me.'"
Richard Goetschius, who escaped injury after accidentally being shot in the head with a 10-penny nail by a coworker at a construction site in 2004, as quoted by The Star-Ledger. The three-inch long nail missed all vital brain structures and was removed without incident. Personally, I'd prefer God profess His love for me with a nice box a chocolates and a handwritten note than with a nail shot into my head, but I'm a hopeless romantic.
