Autobiography of a broken mirror kelly williams

In my first encounter with Douglas Kelly in 2003, I was a relatively new Christian and he was a giant of the faith. Doing my best to impress him, I sought to assert how much I knew about Reformed theology. He did his best not to laugh at me.
Instead, he decided to laugh at himself as he told me the story of when he first returned to his hometown of Lumberton, North Carolina, after receiving his PhD from the University of Edinburgh in 1973. Walking down the street, he heard two men speaking: “There’s that Kelly boy. Did you hear he’s a doctor now?” “Yeah, I heard, but he’s not the kind that helps people.”

Superstitions permeate our lives without us even thinking about it.
I always notice white feathers and visits from robins (see below for what that means) and feel better for it.
It is thought that these beliefs arise from our attempts to explain and control the unpredictable and uncertain aspects of life, whether it is finding meaning in coincidences or offering us comfort. Many athletes, whose performances are built on tough training schedules and sport science, have pre-game rituals from lucky foods to lucky driving routes that they believe will improve their performance.
