Remember Who is in charge!

A while back, my eldest son and his family were involved in an accident. They were broad-sided by a loaded lumber delivery truck, not too far from their home. Their car was knocked sideways, spinning, across the street, and up into someone's yard. My son had both knees partially dislocated. His baby, 1 1/2 years old, bit through her tongue from the impact. Blood was pouring out of her mouth, and for a while, we thought she might lose part of her tomgue. His wife, 8 months pregnant, was hit so hard that she didn't immediately realize she was in labor. As any mother will tell you, that was some intense pain, to be able to disguise birthing pains. Her baby (another granddaughter, thanks God!) was born at 4:45am, the next morning, bearing a diagonal bruise from the seatbelt!

I was in even greater shock than would otherwise have been the case, because not 2 weeks previously, my son had told me he'd come to the conclusion that God did not exist...

I know I've done a lot of really dumb things in my life. Often, God will give me a whallop, upside the head (as we used to say) to let me know that a change of direction was indicated. Usually, I'm not so hard-headed that I don't take the hint...

I ask these two favors of everyone;

First - examine your life. Is there a message that God is trying to make you aware of?

Second - pray for everybody (my son included). We all need God in our lives.

God loves us all so much that He allows us to say "no" to Him, to our eternal peril. Many choose to keep that which is temporary and worth nothing, and pay for it with that which is eternal and worth everything.


"For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"

See you in Paradise!
