    We were actually going under the bridge when we heard the crashing above us and barely made it out before the truck crashed down behind us. We were actually on our way to my grandpa’s funeral. As far as I remember, we were the only ones under the bridge. When I looked back, there was a car that had pulled off to the side and a State Trooper at the red light going in the direction of the wreck. Thank you God for keeping us safe!!

    I just spoke with Ms. Theresa, other than being sore, she is at home. Only has minor bumps and bruises. If you don’t think GOD is riding with you, think again this is proof.

    Glad to hear Chris and family are doing well. I will be praying for Ms. Rainey. That wreck looks terrifying! I hate driving through this area on I-10. It’s always over crowded with people driving way too fast. God Bless all involved.

Praise God for the angels He sent down for protection and Father we ask that you guide the hands and knowledge of the medical staff taking care of Mrs. Rainey. Father I pray that you bless Chris and his family abundantly for their love and forgiveness….Amen!

    Chris, how nice of you to pray for someone who damaged your car and could have seriously hurt your family. You praying for her as well says so much about you and your character. During this period in America this is not something done by many. Many God bless you and your family.
