A Scene From Thursday

Yesterday was the most memorable day of my life for a couple of reasons. First off I went to the State Fair. It was awesome! I went with my dad and one of my twin sisters. We were there from 12:30 to 8:30. But the fair itself wasn't what I was interested in sharing about. it was what happened afterward.

We were on our way home when this car (drunk driver?) came zooming around us, going 80 on a 65mph highway bridge. luckily he missed us, but only by a hair. The car in front of us wasn't so lucky. The speeding car ran into the back right wheel of the car in front of us and pushed her into the railing on the left-hand side of the highway. The fast driver then bounced off his innocent victim, lost control, and ran in front of the other car who created leverage to turn the car sideways. The victim maneuvered herself over to the right shoulder and kind of stalled half way in that protective zone. My Dad had slowed down to avoid getting caught in the accident and had pulled over to call 911 and see if the woman was hurt. While he had gotten out of the car and was checking on the woman, my sister and I waited in the car, feeling both the bridge and the car shake every time a car passed by next to us. We ended up getting out just in case someone didn't see our white car with bright flashing lights sitting on the shoulder. The woman turned out to be okay. She wasn't able to get out of her door, though, because it had been smashed in. My dad gave her his card. He told us later that it was by accident that he took that road. That's a God thing for sure.
The only thing my sister would say was, "Wow, God is good! God is good!" I say 'amen' to that, sister. she even started singing a song about. what I found cool was that my ten-year-old sister recognized the hand of God even in such drastic circumstances. I just felt that someone reading this blog might like some real excitement in it. Please enjoy and relish it because my life isn't this exciting every day.
