when you hear a word or name spoken on the radio or tv and at the same time, by coincidence, you see the word on a sign, truck, or in print on whatever you are reading? This happens to me on occasion while I'm driving or while at home with the tv on and reading the paper or a magazine. There has to be a word for this. If not, any suggestions? And has this happened to you before?
I posted this in "Words & Wordplay" too but I know there are some very intelligent folks here in R&S that I thought might have some ideas. Thanks

Synchronicity. It is not déjà -vu because that means seeing (or imagining to see) the exact same occurrence before. Serendipity is to find something other than what you started out looking for.

Being a Christian, and seeking answers from God he sometimes answers my prayer through the media in which you have expierenced. I call this, comfirmation.
