God things

Jeremy was in a car accident last week. He's all right, but only because of the grace of God. See, he typically drives his motorcycle to work. Thursday was no exception, however the job site happened to be near our neighborhood, so he stopped at home to pick up a tool he'd forgotten in the truck over the weekend. The truck hadn't been run in a few days, so he just decided to take it to the job site. Because of that, when a 17 year old in a Ford Ranger ran a stop sign and ran into him, Jeremy was in his big 'ol pickup instead of on a bike. Praise the Lord! Sadly, the truck may have to be put to rest. Jeremy's pretty bummed...he's put enough sweat, and time, and heart into the truck that he said it would feel like a family member dying. But God's got a plan for everything.

I am SO SO thankful that Jeremy is alright and also so glad he was in that bog ole truck. I know he will miss it. I remember how that truck was his baby. Please give our condolences to Jeremy! -Erin

I only remember the truck from your stories around the office. I recall it broke down a lot and you had many grievances with it. But alas, we are always most critical of the things we love, eh?? Sorry about the truck, but happy about Jeremy!

I'm also glad to hear that Jeremy came through just fine and that it was only his well-loved truck that bit it. Isn't it great how God moves mysteriously to protect us and care for us? And I always love seeing the victory in a tragedy.
