Or does everything happen for a reason? Feel free to tell a story to illustrate your point of view. Personally, I do not believe in coincidence.

everything happens for a reason and sometimes serendipitously

I strongly disagree that everything happens for a reason. In order to accept that proposition, it's necessary to believe in a higher power and to disown the concept of free will...neither of which I'm comfortable doing.

It depends...but I have nothing to say at this time.

I believe in The Higher Power AND the free will given to man. The belief in free will seems pretty incongruous with the notion that everything happens for a reason. Unless the "reason" that it happened was for the promotion of free will, which would be circular and nonsensical.

Serendipity "lends" itself to a higher power...or not Happy Accidents are accidents none the less

Your position is understandable and I would not expect to sway you. However, I've seen and experienced enough in my life to believe events are not completely random. There is always a pattern even among seemingly random events.
