    God Saved My Life Tonight!

    I was on my way to bible study and I saw a wrench in the road at an intersection between a county road and a state highway. I turned around and pulled into the country road and hopped out. I heard a truck coming from my left, and looked around my van, and thought "that truck could hit that wrench and send it flying." Something told me to step back, and I backed up into the crook of my open door and car body. The truck moved over the center line and hit the wrench with his right wheels. It came flying towards me, and I put my arms up, the wrench hit my vehicle, I think the edge of the door, and flew about a foot from my head I estimate. I heard a whirring as it went by. It landed on the otherside of the road. It flew very fast and hit hard, and would have killed me if it'd hit me in the head. It was a double box end offset 9/16x5/8 Bluepoint wrench.

    Pretty awesome that God protected me! No doubt, satan would prefer I'd not made it to bible study. I take myself, my wife, my 4 year old and my newborn. My 4 year old plays and draws, but he sits in bible study with us, not shuffled off to some room to play games. Got to bring the boy up in the word!

    Some folks would call that a coincidence.
    Sounds like divine intervention.

    For a moment, I thought that might of been my missing 10mm. Praise God from Whom all blessings flow.
    Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

    Praise God for his intervention. One of my earliest memories was playing around the chair legs as my parents went to Bible Study - and the cookies after!

    We’re so glad that it didn’t hit you!
    And that you were aware enough to hold back a bit.
    Carry on and God bless you and yours!

    There but for fortune. Usually it is a thin edge of divine intervention. At times you get a very distinct feeling that, as the events start to stack up, there is an unfulfilled purpose to your life, that you still have left to do in this life. It is an odd feeling, no idea of the how what and where, but it is what it is.
