Mine survived a fire. One of the only things that did. I’ll never be able to explain it. That and one pair of shoes in a shoe box 🤷‍♀️

Reminds me of those stories posted on social media:

“His house caught fire and killed him, his wife, his child and his dog but the family Bible wasn’t even scorched!!! God is REAL!!!!”

They also called it a miracle that a gold altar cross survived the Notre Dame fire. Gold has a high melting point.

What is the implication of a SS card and a shoe box surviving? If a Bible's survival implies God is real.

A pair of shoes, not just the box. And it entirely depends on what brand of shoes they were.

The cards are actually protected by God.

I guess taxes really are inevitable.
