This is the result of my drive home from work last Thursday evening. It involved a ditch and some loose gravel, and Tater didn't come through so well. The accident resulted in a near 180, ending in the ditch; a bucket was thrown out of the back 20 feet uphill, and a crack developed across the windshield. We don't know the full extent of the damage, but something's wrong with the transmission-we had to drive him home in reverse. I was uninjured, and I am pleased to report that the seatbelts in this '84 Chevy work well (I had often wondered...).
The Lord worked things out, as He always does. First, of course, in that I wasn't injured. A volunteer firefighter also "happened" to drive by, and he stopped to direct traffic and pull Tater out with his big four-wheel drive. Despite the scare and the damage, this accident just offers another opportunity to glorify God for His preservation and care for us, though we have nothing to offer in return.

Poor Tater. =( I'm glad you came out unharmed, though. =)
