    When God calls you home, it doesn’t matter about if you are or are not wearing a seatbelt!!!

    I love my husband and I thank those of you for your prayers..

    A seatbelt has saved my life more than once just like my helmet has.. I wear mine because it’s the smart thing to do.. The belt also keeps you in place behind the controls so you have a chance of recovering from an event if one occurs..

    So many think that seatbelt is a bother. Everytime you hear ‘ not wearing seatbelt and was ejected ‘ you know the outcome.
