I am still grateful that I listened. Now I'm not afraid of terrorists when I go to NYC next week.

It was God.
Sure, millions may be dying due to starvation, poverty, war, disease, petty racial hatreds, and four-hour boners but still God found time to whisper in someone's ear at an intersection. Basically, the worst you can say about God is that if he does exist he's an underachiever.
I found this to be a good reply to the question
Why does God allow bad things to happen?
Satan ? not God ? is evil, and is behind evil deeds. Satan is all about death, but God is all about life.
Satan, not God, is behind all evil.? Perhaps you thought, ?But isn?t God powerful enough to stop evil acts?? God is indeed powerful enough to stop anything, but He operates under certain laws, which He Himself established, that give humans the choice either to submit to Him and obey His commandments, or reject Him and do evil. God created us to love Him and have a relationship with Him. The relationship would not mean anything if we were controlled by God like puppets. So God has given people the freedom to make choices?and to reap the rewards or suffer the consequences of those choices.
One of Satan's tactics is to deceive us into thinking God is unfair. Satan did it to Eve?deceived her into believing that God was unfair for prohibiting them from eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Was God unfair about the tree? No! He made the rule for their good. But Satan was able to convince Eve, so she and Adam rebelled against God, seeking to be independent of Him, instead of submitting to Him.
Even though you don't understand all God's ways, He will fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Maybe you people are too itchy, the wink smiley isn't a smiley smiley, so how dare you put a mood behind my words ?
Are you in my head now ? are you psychic ?
NO
So just shut the fuck up and it's a FACT they did NY and the probability they were to do it again is low.

I don't understand.? Are you saying that angels or God or somebody is going to keep you safe from terrorists?? It sounds like you think you've been chosen for special protection or something.?
No, I was feeling anxious about traveling because of the latest news coverage about terrorist dry runs. And I was recently in England where they had recent terrorist attacks. I was a little in shock earlier today because a split second decision saved my life as well as my cute little car. Also it taught me that you never know what is going to happen, so don't live in fear of things that could happen.? Thanks to the people who posted their angel car stories. Also, the last time I went to NYC with my Mom, we stayed at a Marriot near the WTC that is no longer there, and that makes me sad. When I went to NYC last year it was to see GNR and I didn't think alot about ground zero at that time because of my excitement to see GNR. Also, if you ask for protection, you will get protection, BUT YOU HAVE TO ASK!

No, I was feeling anxious about traveling because of the latest news coverage about terrorist dry runs.
those stories were GROSSLY exaggerated if just outright false/made up. I'll try to find the link to back that up. But you don't need to worry. Just a little banging on the fear drums.
Found it:
The Transportation Security Agency's national security bulletin issued was based on bogus examples that were combined to give the impression of ominous terrorist plotting, CNN reports.
"That bulletin for law enforcement eyes only told of suspicious items recently found in passenger's bags at airport checkpoints, warned that they may signify dry runs for terrorist attacks," CNN's Brian Todd reported Friday afternoon. "Well it turns out none of that is true."
Todd highlights the case of Sara Weiss, who was detained in San Diego after two ice packs covered in tape were found in her baggage. Weiss, who works for a faith-based organization, also was carrying a survey about Muslim Americans, which CNN says also raised law enforcement provisions.
"The FBI now says there were valid explanations for all four incidents in that bulletin, and a US government official says no charges will be brought in any of these cases," Todd reported.
Weiss says she was held for three hours and questioned by San Diego Harbor Police and two other men who did not identify themselves. She told CNN one of the men asked her if she knew Osama bin Laden, which she described as "a ridiculous question."
The FBI maintained "they were right" putting the bogus reports on the TSA bulletin, which is distributed to law enforcement agencies nationwide, Todd reported. Airport security officers must be trained in identifying suspicious packages, even when those packages turn out to be innocuous.

Can't believe people are making a big deal out of your use of "angels."
Bummer.

If you decide to make a joke about 9/11 you'd expect that you'll get bad responses...
Especially from people who lost loved ones - so maybe you should think twice next time?
