There is a God!
#1
                Yes fellas there is a GOD! I'm living, walking, talking, proof of that. Monday afternoon I was out running one of my bus route areas. After turning around and heading back toward the bus stop. A Ford F250 was coming towards me and as he came through the s curve he lost control on the rain slick road. "I thought to myself that ain't good". He over corrected which sent his rearend off into the ditch on his side of the road, which now put him coming at me broadside. "I thought this is gonna hurt." "This is gonna hurt real bad!" Dodgy Long story short he was still spinning the rear tires, which when he got traction shot him up out of the ditch and directly into me. His right front tire hit my left front tire. I'm here to tell ya I've had a lot of crashes and bashes over the years. but this is the Hardest hit I've ever took. I lost consciousness several times, and struggled to try and maintain focus. The off duty lady EMT said my heart had quit on her and she did CPR on me while i was still in the truck. The fire and ambulance guys got there and had to rip the drivers door open to get me out. The regular EMT said I faded in and out several times but he never lost my heart beat. They took me to the hospital and checked me over asshole to appetite, a CT scan of my head and chest, Xrays of my left knee, left elbow, and shoulder. I could hear the xray tech and nurses whispering "He hasn't got any broken bones, no head injuries, or internal injuries. Other then a few small cuts and scrapes from the window glass, and some sore ribs on my left side, I'm walking talking living proof of GOD's Existence. They kept me overnight just for observation. I actually think they just couldn't believe I wasn't hurt worse. I got out about noon went to lunch with my wife. Then went and took pictures of the truck and layed around Tuesday. Today I went to work for a while and took care of some of the paperwork. My Superintendent says I know you wanted a new truck but this wasn't the best way to get one. I told him you got that right!

SO MORAL OF THE STORY IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD! YOU NEED TO!!!

I've been around and worked a lot of accidents etc. Usually when you see a vehicle tore up as badly as my truck, the person comes out in pieces or dead. If you look at the pics every thing around my seat is obliterated! Except where I sit. THANK YOU GOD!! To all that read this may God watch over you and Bless you as you can see he has blessed me. Amen. Pray JTS 71 Mach1

Yeah it hurt real bad! it felt as though everything inside was ripped apart for a couple seconds then slammed back together. I don't believe I ever want to do that again. 578254 JTS 71 Mach1

You're right! The crazy thing is all through the years of crashing and bashing, when something happened. I was usually partially or completely at fault. Which left me to only blame myself. This time I was traveling 5mph below the limit and even had my seat belt on, and all I can say is shit happens. I just thank God that everyone including the guys in the F250 were ok. Just a bunch of tore up sheet metal. JTS 71 Mach1

Glad to hear that you are okay Jack.

The incident sure did do a job on the Chevy but then they say that is how they are designed.

Yes, God is real at all times: good or bad. Meeting Him face to face though is an eternal proposition - glad your still here.

I think God lets things like this happen just to let us know that he is in control. Waking in the morning and praying that he will protect you and your's all day, it looks like he did. None of us know how close we come every day.
On the lighter side looking back now, be glad you weren't driving your pony.
