Follow up on Family-Do Angels Drive Dodge Ram Trucks?

Thanks to all who prayed for us as we went to Kansas City for Debbie's grandfather's funeral. It was truly a blessed time.

We drove back to Colorado where we are on STAS on Thursday, a day later than originally planned to spend more time in KC. We didn't realize that the Lord would have to help us dodge multiple tornadoes and get us through a late spring Rocky Mountain snow storm!

We literally drove through the edge of one thunder storm which 30 minutes later produced hail and a tornado that touched down right where we stopped for a brief break...only to learn on the radio there were more spotted tornadoes and storms in surrounding areas. The Lord blessed us by letting us drive on in beautiful sunshine...albeit with high winds...with storms behind us and north of us which continued to move out of our path.

We stopped in Denver to buy cheaper groceries and a break and the weather was nice. But as we drove further west on I-70 up into the mountains, we encountered a snowstorm as we neared the Eisenhower tunnel. We and the traffic had slowed. Unfortunately, despite the slower speed I hit a patch of snow and black ice and hydroplaned big time! The car began to fish-tail out of control and we swerved back and forth, in traffic! Each time we were about to go into a total 360 degree spin, the Lord would enable me to get the car going back the other way. Yes, I applied all the lessons about steering, non-breaking, etc when skidding on ice and snow. But God definitely kept us and everyone else from crashing. Good thing too! On our left and behind us was traffic trying to avoid us...and on our right was a constant series of large light poles. The Lord kept us from hitting anyone or the poles while no one else lost control or crashed either. We swung somewhat wildly between traffic and the poles yet came to a stop between two of the large poles on the shoulder of the highway.

As if that weren't enough, a "God sent good Samaritan" pulled over behind us with his flashers on to protect us from oncoming traffic. The man in a large Dodge Ram pickup truck waited as we collected ourselves, prayed thanking God, and then proceeded. He pulled out behind us as we now very slowly, in 2nd gear, went up and through the tunnel and then down the very steep, slippery, and icy highway on the other side of the pass. He stayed behind us for 30 minutes, flashers on, protecting us all the way to our exit. He then waved, slowly passed us and went on his way down the highway.

God was so gracious! Do angels drive Dodge Ram pickup trucks? I don't know. But I do know that the Lord very mercifully spared us and many others just a couple of days ago. We press on to follow hard after Him, thanking Him for His continued faithfulness.

With love and appreciation for your prayers,

Rodney, Debbie and Luke
