Unwelcome News

My parents were in a car accident this evening.  Dad has a broken leg, and Mom was not injured.  No one in the other vehicle was seriously injured.

They had just left home, heading east, when someone in a northbound vehicle ran the stop sign at Trail West and Partridge Road and hit Dad's car on the passenger side in front of the front door.  Mom and Dad were both buckled in, and the air bags deployed.

Mom and Dad's vehicle ended up in the north part of that public property to the northeast of the intersection.  To get there it had traveled between two narrowly-spaced power poles.  Dad declared the "miss" wasn't due to careful steering.  

Carol and Roberto had just arrived from their home near Kansas City, and were waiting at Maranatha, where they were all planning to participate in the fish fry fundraiser meal.  

Dad expects to come home for the night, with his leg in a splint.  I hope those 87-year-old bones heal fast, and that his pain can be controlled in the meantime.  He almost made it through life with no bone fractures.

We're very grateful for God's protection, and invite you to pray for Dad as he recovers.
