We’re counting our many blessings that Paul wasn’t hurt more than he was after being struck by a car on the freeway this morning. Other than a heavily bruised and strained back, deep arm laceration, and broken ankle, he's doing ok with the pain killers.
Interesting how it played out from my perspective: Jim Bolt calls me on the way to a funeral saying he’s looking at a pretty bad motorcycle accident on the freeway as he precedes to describe the damage. While talking to Jim, Sandy calls me so I tell Jim she’s calling and I take the call. She proceeds to tell me Paul’s been in a motorcycle accident and we need to go to the hospital right away (not knowing his condition). I call Jim back to let him know that the accident he saw was Paul and to pray. He told me later that he immediately pulled off on the side of the freeway to pray.
So, for a moment, I’m thinking the worse (Jim’s description was not promising...) and am simply perplexed as to what to do or think. Then it occurs to me to simply call Paul and see what happens. I call and he answers! He tells me he’s in an ambulance being taken to Holy Cross, that he’s in lot’s of pain but basically all right, considering. Phew. I then call Sandy to let her know and off we went to the hospital.
Thumbs up!

Thus a proper study of the Bible (objective, contextual, historical, and logical) reveals absolute truth to worship and live b

Tea Party
Paul and his girlfriend, Heather, went to our local Tea Party at the Civic Center here in Santa Clarita. After doing our taxes, I should have joined them!
