I am full of praise this morning -- last night my husband wrecked his Harley. No, that isn't why I am full of praise -- I am praising God because he only received minor injuries! He was wearing his full-face helmet and his jacket with body armor. His helmet is badly gouged -- on the side and directly in front. That would have been his head and his face without the helmet. From the looks of the jacket, he slid for a while, ending up under the car -- but the jacket and armor kept him from making contact with the asphalt. The jacket and helmet were expensive, but they certainly proved their value last night! He did receive a cut on his left knee that the paramedics cleaned and bandaged for him. He had several places where there were signs of having hit something. He didn't go to the hospital -- he went to work this morning, early, since he had some trouble sleeping.
The wreck wasn't his fault -- an impatient young woman pulled out in front of him. She was badly shaken (but not injured.) Her father rides a Harley so she said that made it much worse for her, thinking it could have been her Dad. She did have insurance so I guess everything will get fixed. We were able to pray with her and Sweetie gave her and the Sheriff copies of "Hope for the Highways" the Bible that CMA bikers carry.
PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!

AMEN!!! God used it as a ministry opportunity and dad was under His protection the entire time. i'm thankful that he takes the time to wear the protective clothing - i see so many on bikes who don't even wear helmets! including some good friends of ours! says it just spoils the whole experience for them. stupid stupid stupid. praise God he was not more injured and we pray his day goes all right - i'm sure he is very sore today.
liz hit a jagged edge of a concrete curb (hugging too close to the curb) and popped her tire. probably cost her close to $300 in new front tires for the mustang. thankfully she has a job, although this will hit her bank acct pretty severely.
today we clean the house thoroughly and tomorrow we start interviewing realtors. still praying for God's direction and will to be done.
I'm so pleased he's safe and sound.
Over here the wearing of helmets on motorcycles is compulsory and it is against the law not to wear one although a three wheeled motor tricycle is classed as a car and the rider is not compelled to wear a helmet!
Take care.
Am glad to know that nobody was hurt very badly--except the "nerves" and that can take a while--but they will both heal i pray--have a great and SAFE week end--hugs, Di
PS your embroidered towels are soo pretty
