Talking with a driver. . .

While driving this morning we ran into some bad weather: snow, strong winds, slipperly roads, and ice. The Lord was very gracious and protected us as we drove. We passed several accidents, including an overturned semi and a jackknifed camper/trailer.

We stopped for lunch, and I started chatting with a gentlemen that was also waiting for his lunch. Turns out, he had been driving a uHaul that morning and had been blown off the road. A rail possibly saved his life as it kept him off of a steep slope. He said he sat in the cab (in the ditch) for about ten minutes after the wreck trembling. I said that it sounded like the Lord saved his life for a reason – and he agreed. I then gave him three tracts: the million dollar bill, the IQ test bookmark, and the “are you good enough to go to heaven”. I explained each one – and he was grateful for them.

Later, as he was heading out the door he thanked me again and said he would read each of them.

Our waitress at dinner tonight was also very grateful for the three tracts...
