Ridgell's Originals

Marsha and I were in Atlanta a few days ago to perform a wedding. The trip was wonderful except for one scary experience. We were coming back from the wedding and turning into the road for the hotel. All of sudden a SUV came out of a fast food lot and never looked at us. I remember praying that God would help me swerve enough so that it would hit us in back portion of the car and not right in Marsha's door. I clearly remember being thankful it was going to miss the door and nail us in the rear panel. And then it missed us. It shouldn't have, don't know how it did, but it did.

It was as if God scooted us over another couple of feet. Or did God's angels protect us? Maybe it was just dumb luck. Or maybe I miscalulated how close it was. But we're believers so we are going to give God the credit. And because I do believe in angels, I think maybe they were watching over us.

I've had many close calls and so have my kids. And so have you. How do you explain your escape from near death experiences? Skill, luck, fate...or God. I can't explain everything, but when in doubt-I think I'll give God the credit.
