Near Misses

Just returned from emergency room, and happy to say all is well.

Annalise had to say goodbye to her first car, a hulking Olds Cutlass Ciera,
92 model. Today about 5:40 p.m. A man ran a stop sign, sped right through,
hit Annalise's car, spun it a bit, and then came to rest on a corner of the
school lawn. Annalise's car is totaled, but she's just fine, except for a
few bruises. He wasn't hurt, he has insurance, and a license. A witness
told the police the whole story.

Just yesterday I was in another hospital, in Glen Rose Texas, where my Dad
was having tumors removed. They were cancerous and it looks like the Dr.
got every last bit of the bad tissue. We remain hopeful on that.

I drove away from the emergency room feeling exhausted and exceedingly
grateful. The folks in the E.R. were very kind, they were also pretty busy
and people kept coming in. They told me that it was the busiest they've been in weeks or months. I saw all these people being brought in, mostly elderly people, children, with severe flu symptoms.

I told the folks at Trinity Center, the homeless center. about my Dad and they prayed for all of us. They have powerful prayers. Their faith is strong, stronger than mine, I think.

So, dear friends, take extra caution at stop signs and red lights, be
careful out there. Things can change in the blink of an eye.
