TUPELO, MS - A prominent businessman was killed Sunday in Pontotoc (MS) and officials are calling it a freak accident.
It happened a little after 1pm on Oak Grove Drive. Coroner Kim Bedford says Donald Fauver was driving in his truck when a tree fell on top of it, killing him instantly. Police Chief Larry Poole says Fauver was less than a block away from home when the huge oak tree split in half the same exact time Fauver was passing by.
Donald Fauver was part owner of Progressive Shoe Store in Pontotoc. He was 62 years old.

Doesn't scripture say that there is appointed a day of death unto man....I'll have to verify that....but I do believe that death is a divine appointment. Otherwise there wouldn't have been those in the OT that had their lives shortened or lengthened.

There is no such thing as coincidence with a sovereign God.

Could God have stopped the tree from falling?
Did he not know it was falling, going to fall?
Did he look at the man confused when he arrived in the afterlife and think "How'd YOU get here?"
Could GOd, knowing the tree was going to fall in 2008 have influenced the man to purchase a different truck with a stronger cab that would have survived the fall?
Could God have struck the tree with ligntning last month so that it would not fall now?
Could a six year old have spit out his gum in the parking lot and caused him a ten minute delay until he cleaned the gum off his shoe: Gee, What a day. Gum on my shoe and now the road is blocked by this fallen oak!!!
Pro 16:33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof [is] of the LORD.
Radom chance is an illusion.
