The Arkansas Traveler

Our high school prom was last night. It was at Feather River College,
about 25 miles from Greenville. Four young folks from our church had an
accident on the way. Ashley was one, along with her boyfriend Curtis and
Ryan and Amber. Ryan was driving his mom's Jeep Wagoneer In essence they
ran off the road and into the mountain side. "Ashley called me. When I
answered she said something like this, "Don't freak out Dad, but we just
had an accident. But we are ALL OK." After getting checked out at the ER,
they insisted on going on to the Prom. We compromised with an hour at
the prom, so Barbara, Terri (Ryan's mom) and I waited on the sidelines
while the kids enjoyed some of the prom. (The sidelines was as close as our ears could take!)
Our PRAISE is that there were no serious injuries. Both girls complain
of sore necks and Ashley has a sore elbow. And the boys are sore, but
neither of the boys was hurt bad enough to be checked at the ER. All were
shaken up and will have a "Prom to remember!" Thanks for praying for our
youth.
One report I overheard. A CHP officer came upon the scene about the time
everyone got out of the car. Another car of young folks came along about
then. When they realized that no one was seriously hurt, they stopped, bowed
their heads and thanked God for deliverance. The CHP officer was quoted
as saying that he knew there was "Hope" when he saw that.
To God be the Glory.
