The church was filled for the late-morning service, with many hundreds of worshipers. The woman sat near the back and watched the pews fill up with members of the community, young and old. The service was about to begin. The woman then heard an unusual commotion outside, including several loud noises and shouts. She turned around several times to look at the door to the church. Her intuition told her something was wrong.

Suddenly, a large, armed man burst through the door and began firing his gun at the hundreds of worshipers, children and all.  The woman mustered all her strength and pulled out her own gun from her bag.  She then shot the intruder.  Stunned and expecting to die from her shot, the intruder reacted by killing himself.  The worshipers in the church were all saved. Afterward, the woman said that she had been "praying to God that he direct me" in what to do in life .<ref>[http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/14817480/detail.html ''God Guided Me And Protected Me.''] 7 News: The Denver Channel</ref>

When it came time for the [[Olympics]], no one considered the young man to have a chance, and his more athletic competitors were favorites to win the high jump event.  The whole world was riveted to the television screen as the young man flawlessly cleared every height as the bar was raised again and again.  When the bar was finally raised to an Olympic record height of 7' 4 1/4", only the young man and his "flop" were able to jump over it.  He cleared the bar by several inches and won the gold medal in an incredible upset.

Finally, one day they came out at 6:00&nbsp;p.m. The young psychiatrist was devastated as usual, and the old psychiatrist was just as happy and smiling as he was when he went in. The young psychiatrist stopped him and said, “I don’t understand it. We do the same thing every day, and I leave wiped out by hearing patients all day, and you come out after patients have been streaming in and out of your office just as upbeat as ever. How do you do it?”

A young student studying his first [[Politics]] assignment picked to answer the question - "Have we reached the end of political ideology?" The young student, as this was his first paper, studied hard and long to argue that there has been a rise in conservative thought in recent years as a response to growing [[globalization]] and encroaching [[liberalism]]. The lecturer gave the paper low marks despite solid referencing and an extensive bibliography. The young student felt slighted by this as he had put in many hours of work. Instead of bowing down and rewriting the assignment according to [[professor values|his lecturer's standards]], the student petitioned the head of the department to have his paper and final mark reviewed and also got several others to back him. In the end, the student got an A grade.
