As you may have read, my son had what could have easily been a fatal accident on a motorcycle in early Nov. When the call came that Chip was being airlifted to the hospital, my first thought was to call my mother. For so many years, I have turned to my mother with every crisis. Now, while my mom is still here, her mind left us a while ago. I realized as the real adult in my family I had no one to turn to but God. My first call was to my church to get Chip on our prayer list. We were heard and the Lord sent the doctors we needed to "fix" Chip. But, the thing that I am most thankful for is the fact that the Lord was there even before we called. He was riding with Chip on that morning when the motorcycle wheel locked. My children do not have a close relationship with God right now. I went through the same thing when I got away from my roots. But, with time, I hope that this accident will help Chip and the others in my family realize that Someone is with us at all times, and the prayers are heard before we even utter them. I am so glad you family will be Ok...and thank God, Chip will be too. Malcolm, we share a scary experience.
