It only happens when we have somewhere to be at a specific time and rushing home today after church to load up my studio to bring back to church, we discover horrible traffic on 249. If you are from this area or happen to know of this highway, you know that once you are in a position to notice that it is stopped and bumper-to-bumper, it's too late to do anything about it. No where to turn around, no way out but to sit and wait. After sitting for about 20 minutes, we see the Life Flight helicopter land and we know whatever lies ahead and is stopping traffic is not good. Turns out, some how a person flipped their Explorer cutting a power line in half and then landing on top of the broken line and since it was live, there was nothing rescue workers could do until power company technicians could kill the power. After sitting for roughly an hour (a drive that normally takes about 7 minutes), we pass by the scene and the driver is not yet loaded on to the stretcher. I hope and pray that he will be ok. In the end, we were only about 20 minutes late getting back to church, but it was an opportunity to again talk to the kids about wearing their seat belt always and that you just never know what life may bring so keeping God front and center always is the most important lesson they will ever learn and like most of us, we re-learn it daily.
