The Scent That Proved God

Prove to me that there is a god!  I have no proof other than the love for others that lives in me despite me, or that the sun gives light to murders and saints or that babies are born in a rush of fluid and blood that is so pure it has no scent. 


Let me relay to you a true story.  Our youngest son was born on a very hot day in the back seats of our brand new van.  As is the case the birth was pre and post proceeded by a flood of liquid, blood and tissue that soaked our new cloth seats and seeped in as we lay crying and holding our new son.  When the ambulance arrived, I locked the van and rode with my wife and new son to the hospital.  Later that evening I got a ride back to the van and on the way it occurred to me that our brand new van would surely stink being filled with birth fluid and locked in the hot sun all day.  I will never forget when I opened the front door and got in the only smell was the scent of a brand new car, the smell we all know, and that I know now, is the scent of proof that there is a GOD.
