One show that Matt and I do make time for is &#8220;House.&#8221;  I like the whole &#8220;medical mystery&#8221; type of genre and the show (IMHO)is terribly clever.<br \/>\n<P><br \/>\nThis week&#8217;s episode revolved around a sick priest.  The priest quoted Einstein with a quote that I had long ago loved to use but had forgotten over the years:<BR><br \/>\n&#8220;Coincidence is God&#8217;s way of remaining anonymous.&#8221;<br \/>\n<P><br \/>\nSo many times I get a letter from people saying things like, &#8220;I saw my boyfriend and he said the exact things I petitioned for in my spellwork, what a COINCIDENCE!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nNeedless to say, this drives me crazy!  \ud83d\ude09  Now it isn&#8217;t just that I get tired of people thinking that the results from their spellwork are a &#8220;coincidence&#8221; &#8211; I actually get worried about people negating the results of their spellwork!  Obviously, if you are sort of backwardly negating your spellwork by tossing it off as a &#8220;coincidence&#8221; you run the risk of long term damage to your spellwork.<br \/>\n<P><br \/>\nAnother thing that I get a lot of is, &#8220;All the things I asked for in my spellwork came to pass, do you think it was the lwa helping me?&#8221;  Huh?  Well, yes. You did ASK them to help you.  \ud83d\ude09<br \/>\n<P><br \/>\nWhile &#8220;God&#8221; (or whatever you want to call the Supreme Being) is sort of an unwritten power in our spell work, that doesn&#8217;t mean we ignore God.  Generally speaking, Vodouisants consider God too lofty or too busy to be concerned with our day-to-day needs.  Therefore, we call upon the Vodou Spirits (Les Lois &#8211; the lwa) to assist us and be our intermediaries and help our spellwork in many ways.  But the spellcaster&#8217;s energy, the power of the Supreme Being, and the lwa all work together.<br \/>\n<P><br \/>\nSo if you are a person who is chalking things up to &#8220;coincidence&#8221; I am going to gently suggest that you stop!  I don&#8217;t want you to stop getting results because you didn&#8217;t believe in what was happening right before your own eyes.  \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\n<P><br \/>\nLove,light, and peace,<BR><br \/>\nMambo Samantha Corfield<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings everyone!
