The world's got me dizzy again. You'd think after 22 years, I'd be used to the spin.

Ah yes, god, always "gracing" people with bullet wounds that happen to not kill them, only their partners!
An emotional Daniel Clark spoke to the media for the first time Tuesday about the shooting last month that mortally wounded his partner.

"I would like to thank God, because I am only here by his grace," the 28-year-old six-year veteran of the Winston-Salem Police Department told members of the media gathered at the Public Safety Center. "Everything I know happens for a reason. There is a plan that I'm not meant to understand."

Clark survived a gunshot wound to his neck and fired the shots that killed 35-year-old Monte Evans. Police said Evans shot Clark's partner, Sgt. Mickey Hutchens, outside the Bojangles' restaurant on Peters Creek Parkway on Oct. 7.

Hutchens and Clark were rushed to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical. Clark was released two days after the shooting. Hutchens died five days later.
Yep, that sounds like god, alright. I am in no way trying to demean this officer's valor or his survival. I just don't understand his statement. It's not about being silly for believing in god, it's about how confusing it is to me personally that god was cool with his being shot but helped him live. Why assume god had anything to do with it, and if so, why not be mad at god, the all powerful, for not stopping the bullet from hitting you at all? Or stopping the shooter from firing at all and killing your partner? Some god...
