Not only her house but at least one church building was spared by just feet, the Creator could easily shift winds a will, Jesus stopped them completely. You have no more proof they switched naturally than I do supernaturally. What I do have is info about two structures that are owned by Christians, and if God did change the winds all that were behind those structures benefited from God's action for those who love Him.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

GC Actually shifting wind patterns caused by heat from a forest fire is a well understood phenomenon. Works on the same principals as a hot air balloon and various weather phenomenon like freezing rain.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

True, heat from fire has an effect on winds in areas within the fire, but there's lots of different factors that have to be present.

So you see, the more reasonable explanation is there is an all powerful all knowing entity that knew this would happen, let it happen, and just made a very slight change in heat in that one area.

So why didn't he stop the fire before it destroyed any homes?

Actually, we do have one thing in favor of the natural option that you don't for the supernatural, and it's kind of the most important thing: we can demonstrate that nature exists.

I'm an atheist, and a few months ago poison smog was drifting over the houses in my neighborhood from a factory fire. It missed my place completely, so I guess that's confirmation of atheism, right? Hey, the Sikh temple up the road was spared too!
Or is it only a demonstration of divine control when it's potentially your god?

The fires destroyed thousands of acres, but we lost less than thirty structures (and in thirty, I'm including the eighteen-unit apartment building as eighteen). These fires were huge, and the amount of loss is minimal at best, considering the conditions we were dealing with during the days of the fires. The idea that one house spared is a "miracle" is ridiculous considering the definition of "miracle". One of the great things about living here is, yeah, we get gnarly fires, but our firefighters know how to control them, and then put them out. Thank the firefighters, not god.

What about the other Christians houses? Guess they lacked faith.
Seriously, your bullshit apologetics fool no one GC.

The noun "miracle"....like the noun "hero" are so overused as to be virtually meaningless.
Of course, it could be worse......a "heroic miracle" or a "miraculous hero".....!!!!!!
