Senator JD Vance, a Republican from Ohio, recently spoke at an event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, following his acceptance of the vice presidential nomination. Reflecting on his preparation for the Republican National Convention speech, Vance shared a personal experience he described as a 'miracle' that occurred in the lead-up to his remarks.
During his speech, Vance emphasized his belief in the existence of small miracles, in addition to well-known biblical events like Moses parting the Red Sea. He recounted a moment of anxiety and restlessness the morning of his speech, where he found himself awake in the middle of the night, unable to fall back asleep. Feeling bored and anxious, Vance described his mind racing with thoughts.
In a moment of desperation, Vance recalled a simple plea for help, saying, 'Jesus, please help me.' This prayer was followed by a sudden return to sleep, with Vance noting that it was the last thing he remembered before waking up.
Comparing his experience to a scene from the movie 'Pulp Fiction,' Vance referenced a character named Jules who expressed feeling 'the touch of God.'
Vance's personal anecdote adds a human touch to his political journey, showcasing a moment of vulnerability and reliance on faith. The senator's willingness to share this intimate experience with the audience highlights the intersection of personal belief and public life in the realm of politics.
