On Week Five, Nicky talks about answered prayers and how coincidences can sometimes be messages from God. He says he keeps a prayer diary and ticks them off when they are answered. As Nicky says these things, I think about my own life, about how my wife and I were told we couldn’t have a baby – about how awful those years of infertility were, how every month was like a funeral without a corpse – and then we did have a baby, and thought that our son, Joel, was a gift from God.
