[Ads-l] God wink

[Jonathan Lighter]

'A reassuring or encouraging minor miracle.'

In addition to practicing law, Chapman serves as a presbyterian pastor at
two local churches. He described finding the decades-old newspaper as a
“God wink” - or a sign.

2001 Squire D. Rushnell _When God Winks_ (rpt. N.Y.: Atria Books, 2002) 4:
A God wink is _also_ a message of reassurance coming when you most need it.

2010 _Dickinson [N.D.] Press_ (Jan. 19) A-14: It just kind of happened and
we just kind of called it a god wink because we had been praying and just
kind of keeping our eyes open for something.
