Beautiful Life

Vance was in an accident yesterday. Miraculously the hood of his car flew up and protected him from a potentially very bad situation. I am thanking God for his life (extra) today.

Here is what Vance had to say about the ordeal:

“God had his hand on me yesterday. I was going to Dallas for some meetings yesterday when a tractor trailer with an oversized tall load hit the underside of an overpass directly in front of me. My Expedition smashed through the load as it flew off the back of the trailer. It was some sort of plexi-glass structure with a welded steel crate around it for transport. In the split second before impact, I thought it was going to smash through my windshield and impale me or rip my head off like in a movie, but the hood rolled up over my windshield at impact and absorbed the debris that would have surely entered the cab. You can see in the pics how the metal cut and gashed my truck including the underside of the hood. I escaped with bumps, bruises, and minor cuts. Who says SUVs are unsafe? Take time to soak in this life and hug your loved ones!”

This morning, in a devotional with the kids, we talked about the ladder in Jacob’s dream. I am thankful that wherever we are, even on Dallas highways, we are connected with God. God is with us, everywhere we go. What a miracle!
