Blink of an eye...

So something happened today at the dealership that really shook everyone around.
An elderly man had just had his A/C fixed in his car and had paid and was pulling out from our service dept. He was backing out into the road.
At the same time, two young guys were coming down the same road in a mustang going 94 mph. They were driving in the wrong lane due to passing every car in their way. They did not see the elderly man pulling out in a silver car and T boned the car, knocking the silver car 35 feet. The service techs and parts people were standing there and had just waved to the man and was watching him pull out when this happened. Dozens of people ran out from here and the Honda Shop across the street. Cops came. Ambulance came. Everyone lived. Everyone was banged pretty bad. Our security cams at the dealership caught the whole thing to give to the police.
It all happened in the blink of an eye. One minute Mr. SilverCar was excited about having his A/C working in his car and thinking about how he wouldn't have to ride w/ his windows rolled down. Then BAM! Knocked out cold. Mr. RedMustang and Friend were racing along laughing making fun of the slow drivers they were passing... BAM! Waking up in an ambulance.
We never know whats going to happen. Things just sort of jump out to us. I write this mainly to say be careful. If something is keeping you from having that bond w/ God, do what you have to do to get it. Get over the obstacles that satan has out in front of you. Get out of the way and let God come and do what he does.
My car is in the service dept today. It is parked right next to where Mr. SilverCar was parked and pulling out from. I will have to pull out from the same spot today where he was hit. That could have been me earlier, but thank God it wasn't.

Love God... Love people... Serve the world...
