I also have another prayer request. A little while ago, my husband was reading the paper and asked me about the last name and age of one of my customers (who is also the grandson of a very dear friend). When he read the name of course my first thought was oh, he must have won the wakeboard competetion this weekend. No, he had been in a very bad car accident. He only has some bad cuts and bruises, but his girlfriend was critically injured. She has a broken pelvis, broken arm and leg, lost 4 teeth and face and entire body is covered in cuts and bruises. Thankfully, no internal injuries. She will be okay eventually, but will have a very long painful rehabilitation process. They were hit by a drunk driver who ran through a red light doing an estimated 80 mph! Our friend feels so horrible about his girlfriend, feels so much guilt. He was saying he shouldn't have asked her to go on this trip with him, he feels so much responsibility. Even though he was doing no wrong, they were wearing their seatbelts, not speeding, no alcohol on their part, they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. One thing that was in their favor and I believe God had a hand in this...2 people that witnessed the accident stopped to help, they were a minister and a nurse. The minister said he saw Lane (our friend) get out of his car and walk around to his girlfriends side, when he saw her, he apparently fell to the ground and passed out. I felt so bad for both of them. I suspect the guy that hit them, if he lives as he sustained life threatening injuries, will be doing some time. This just makes me so angry! Thanks for the prayers!
