Klassen attributes miraculous recovery to God's hand

Flashing a bright smile to reporters and arranging her shiny blond hair for the cameras, Lisa Klassen did not look like someone who narrowly escaped death just nine days ago.

...

While some are considering it a lucky comeback after the 15-metre plunge into an icy river, Klassen says she prefers a different word: miraculous.

"I've really experienced the hand of God through the whole experience," Klassen said, surrounded by her mother Helga on one side and her older sister Cindy, an Olympic speed-skating champion, on the other. "I know everything's part of his plan... Obviously it wasn't my time."

Oh no, she mentioned 'God', now will she be mentioned alongside "extreme evangelical conservative"?
Or do we only apply the tar-and-feather treatment to Republicans?

I think the tar and feather treatment is saved for the far right fringes of the Republican party.

She is a lucky lady to have an off duty firefighter come to her rescue.

I wouldn't take away anyones faith but I don't get how they don't realize how pompus it sounds believing God would save you but not the X million others who die weekly especially children.

At least this involved a near-death experience and not a dunk or TD pass

Yeah, ok. But it was part of God's plan to throw you over a bridge and break your tailbone, vertebra and pelvis?

Nice God you've got there. I think I'll pass, thanks.
