Driving Blind

Last night we got more snow. It was a beautiful day, around 61 degrees in the early afternoon. We went out for coffee last night with some freinds and it had been raining a little before we left. We sat and ate and drank coffee for 2 1/2 hours and as we left the restaurant it started to sleet and was cold. By the time we were on the interstate and at the Jordan Creek exit it was sleeting hard and then it was snow. Big heavy flakes and the wind had really picked up. It was really hard to see. There wasn't hardly anybody on the road. We couldn'treally see the edge of the road or the center lane. The only way we could really tell where the side of the road was when we got to far over we heard the bvump sound when the tires hit it.


It seemed like forever until we finally saw the Earlham exit and if we thought the interstate was bad the gravel roads were worse. It took us as long to get to the house on the gravel as it did on the interstate.
We almost missed the turn to H ave. All the way up H ave. Larry watched the left side of the road and I watched the right. There are several places on our road that the ditches are pretty steep. A couple of times I said to Larry move to the left a little or watch the ditch on your side. The snow was so thick and the wind was really whipping it around. Big swirls of snow would come at us from the right and then the left and then justs in a ball in front of us. Twice we had to just stop in the middle of the road to get our bearings and then it would let up a little and we could see. I had not driven in anything like that for a long time.

I thought several times of the man up the road who was coming home during a snow storm we had this winter who went off in a ditch on our road and his truck turned upside down on him and he died. I had just watched Creflo Dollar teach on how when a thought enters our mind it is not powerful unless we let it stay and we think about it. So I rebuked that thought prayed for the angels to keep our car in the middle of the road and to keep the deer away from us.

With Gods protection we made it into the lane and by the time we got into the house it had stopped snowing.
I mean no more snow. Not a flake.
