So I realized once again today how thankful I am for God’s protection and safety.  Earlier in my day my status was that I was tired of traffic.  I was.

Renae and I were on our way to Chino Hills to get her allergy shots (usually a 25 minute drive).  We hadn’t been on the free all that long today before we came across the the first accident we saw, a truck was flipped upside down on the other side of the freeway.  Our side of the freeway was crawling at 5 mph as we approached the accident, and once we passed it it increase to between 10-20 mph.  We continued at that pass for another 25 or so minutes before we were passed most of the traffic and were going almost to the speed limit. (Oh and that whole time we were in the carpool lane).  Once we made it up to the place to get her shots we decided we didn’t want to jump back on the freeway to sit in the opposite traffic (which was worse), so we went and walked around Target.  After that we left and got back on the freeway hoping the traffic was gone.  We’ll the flipped over truck was, but there were two other accidents – a downed motorcycle in the carpool lane and another accident off to the shoulder. That is when I thought to myself how thankful I am for God’s protection.

I have as of this month had my lisence for 5 years. I worked for Enterprise Rent-a-Car for over 2 years where my main responsiblity was transporting cars, I have had my share of close calls, but thankful to not have a single accident.  That was until 11 months ago yesterday when I got cut off and a van scraped my front fender and then took off.  The hit and run incident was not my fault so it doesn’t count for anything.  So in five years I have not had a single ticket or at fault accident, so I think it is worth my time to thank God right now for his safety and protection.
