I know this is off topic but last night we got the call every parent doesn't ever want to get. Cory called and had been in a bad wreck. He was calling and he was OK and no one else was involved. He was trying to catch up with some friends and was going 100mph+ when he lost control of his car. All I can say is that the Good Lord protected him from any harm as you will see in the last picture. He walked away without a scratch. When I got to the site I stopped and gave thanks right then and there. I know this is way off topic but if you have kids, you might show them these pictures and what can happen in just a moment of stupidity.

Here's the road he was traveling...nice and straight.

Here's the ravine as it looked from the top.

Here's the view from the bottom

Here's the result

Here's the passenger side. Luckly no one was in the car

From the back you can see how lucky he was to survive

Sometimes it takes a wake up like that to make kids realize they are not immune from disaster. We never wanted to hear it from our parents, always thought we knew best. And yes, good thing no one was with him. Knowing he was responsible for killing his friend would have stayed with him for the rest of his life. You guys have a lot of thanking to do next Sunday!

He will really start to hurt within the next day or so. He will have pain in places where he didn't even know he had. With a jolt like that, he might have slipped a disc or 2 in his neck..........keep an eye on him. AND I hope you took his license away for the next 50 years!!........parents don't need to see stuff like that.

So much for the Mustang GT... Oh well, no more fast cool car for him. Atleast he didn't kill anybody.

I am glad that he is safe, thank god!!!

We talk with Cory about things in life all the time. He is one GOOD kid. He doesn't drink, smoke or do drugs and thats pretty tough for a 18 yr old to say these days. Cory will talk to us about most anything and thats also great. Just last week I ripped him about driving fast after he told someone at my birthday party how fast he had driven his car. The fact is he was out being a kid and was lucky to survive his mistake. He is pretty shaken about what he did and what could have been. One of the first things he said was he was glad no one was in the car with him because he would have been responsible for the death of a friend. He said he felt he was a different person when he stepped out of the car. His friends he was trying to catch saw him wreck in their rear view and hopefully they all learned a lesson. We know that he was spared by the grace of God and I'm sure it will be a life changing experience for him. Thanks again for everyone's thoughts.
