Counting our blessings, lucky stars and whatever grace has been bestowed upon us today. Amber, Hannah Belle, Brooke, and myself were witness to one of the most surreal auto accidents Ive ever seen this afternoon. 50 yards in front of us, a Jeep Liberty swerved lanes, causing a pickup to overcompensate, slamming into a median, back out into traffic, causing both vehicles to flip. In the air. The truck did a 2 1/2 onto its side. The Jeep rolled into the grass. In a panic, everyone who could, including us, stopped and pulled the two people from the truck. It was truly amazing to watch the human condition at work today. Every walk of life present immediately jumped into rescue mode. Amazingly, no one was killed, or even visibly injured. We stayed out in the heat, long enough to answer the EMT and the police officers questions, looked at each other, and drove off. For a minute, we were just silent. Had it been 10 seconds earlier, that could have easily been us. And a very different story today. I shook for a good hour afterwards, not believing what we just saw. It was like every movie youve ever seen. Except the cameras werent rolling. We all hugged each other once we got out of the car, and still cant shake the image of the flipping truck. I cant say for sure that texting was the culprit today, but if I had ever been guilty of it before, you can bet my phone is tucked away when Im behind the wheel. So if you call, and I dont answer, Im probably driving. Dear Lord, Thank You for this Day. Thank You for my Life. Amen.
