Friday night, right near here, there was yet another car accident that claimed the lives of two young people. We heard a boom like a rocket launch just as we were going to bed right about 10 o'clock. I got up and looked around the house and out through the windows but I didn't see anything and went to bed.
It wasn't until Saturday morning did we get news that there was a bus and car accident on the road just a little ways from here. So while we slept there were emergency crews and frantic parents out there in the cold and the dark. Sometimes I wonder just how cold and dark my heart is to have slept through such a tragedy.
In just a brief moment of time, a distraction, a miscalculation, a sideways glance, and one car hits the front of a bus and two young lives are snuffed out. Did they know the Lord? Were they saved? Did they ever have the chance to hear the Gospel? What is the message God is trying to reach us with? There have been so many young people who have died around here by car accidents.
I read the news and at the very bottom it said that neither were wearing set belts. It is possible that they could have lived through the impact had they have been belted in.
Give yourself a hug. Wear your set belt. We want you around for many more years.
