your life can change.” We all have heard that expression, but it takes something catastrophic to make us really stop and think about the truth of that statement. Just 8 short weeks ago, I gave birth to my second baby, a little princess named Caitlin Arielle. As many of you who follow my husband’s blog know, Caitlin became very, very sick shortly after her birth. So sick, in fact, that there were many moments we thought she may not make it home. During that time, you offered your love, support and prayers to our family when we needed it most. Literally thousands of people all across the world were praying and pulling for Miss Caitlin to get better. Thanks to superb medical care and the power of your prayers, Caitlin miraculously recovered and is now healthy and thriving. I count my blessings every single day. crash

Today, a colleague of mine called to let me know of a tragic accident that happened on a highway outside of St. Louis yesterday. Two of our co-workers were involved in a multi-car accident that occurred when a truck driver failed to stop his rig in time, and plowed into several cars waiting to merge onto another highway.

All told, 11 cars were demolished, 16 people were injured, and 2 people were killed. 3 people remain in critical condition, one of which is my colleague Mark. His boss, Dave, a passenger in the car, will be released in a few days with minor injuries, including several compound fractures. Every day, there are hundreds of accidents in the US that are just as tragic as this one. Too many of us, myself included, drive too fast and don’t pay enough attention to what we are doing when we operate vehicles weighing thousands of pounds. It could have been any one of us involved in the crash. If you are heading out today, buckle up, slow down, and drive with caution. If you get a moment today, please say a prayer for the victims of this crash, and their families. I know I will.
