God is Good!

Well as most of my family and friends already know, Scott was involved in a 2-vehicle crash on Friday, Sept. 25 at around 2:45 p.m. He had some lacerations to his head and arm and a broken left femur. He was flown by Air Evac to St. John's in Springfield where they checked him out in the ER and then sent him to ortho surgery for a nail and pins in his leg.

He had 18 staples in his head; 24 staples in his arm and small staples where they made the incision to put the nail in. Total he is supposed to be non weight bearing for 6 weeks (still have 4 to go!) and then they say recovery will take about six weeks after that. All in all, he's going to be fine.

I'm going to post some pictures of the truck and I think when you look at them you'll understand that someone was riding with him... meaning Jesus. He survived and the driver of the other car, who veered over the center line, wasn't so lucky. So I try to remind myself daily how lucky he was and that God must not be done with him here on Earth yet.

Thanks to everyone for their prayers and keep them coming. We still have a long recovery. He has his good days and his bad days, so we never know for sure how things are going. But again, overall he's still with us here on Earth and for that we are thankful.

There is no "luck", "chance" or "happenstance". Everything happens for a reason. Romans 8:28 "All things work together for good for those who love God and are called for his purpose". Glad your son made it through. God has big plans for him.
