A Moment Away

This week we were again reminded that at any moment we are just a breath away from eternity.

This is how Jennifer's car looked after being whacked by a dump truck. There are so many "what if's" that go through my mind. If the truck had hit the driver's side of the car, Jennifer would probably have been killed. This is a very old car - 15 years old and had no airbags. The good thing is that the older cars are generally well-built and that saved Jennifer from much worse injury.

She had no broken bones, no cuts, no chipped teeth. She has a lot of bruises and stiffness and a very sore neck but no concussion.

As I said before, this crisis reminds us that at any second we can be catapulted into eternity. How prepared are we?

Am I, are you ready to meet our Maker?

  1. Sandra,
    I had heard news of this a few days ago and I can't express enough how amazed and happy I am that your daughter is okay(despite the bruises and scare). Is she staying with you at them moment, or back at her own home?(want to send some mail her way)

  2. Jennifer is sitting right here in the room with me :-) and we are talking about what a lovely person you are! Jennifer will be back home on Wednesday and I know she will love to hear from you. Thanks for your concern. It has been a stressful week and we are truly vegging out today.
