Last Friday, January 17, we were waiting for Dad to get home from work, so we could drive to a 7:00 Bible Study in Hepburn. Around 6: 30, we phoned  to ask him where he was, and he told us that he had hit a deer! We quickly jumped in the van and drove down Highway 312. When we saw two vehicles parked by the side of the road, we pulled up and exited the van, with warnings to be careful. After seeing the smashed front of the van and the exploded airbag, we saw the police truck barreling down the highway and pulling up, and then we had to leave!

Our van is the green one in the middle of the picture.

The watchdogs were carefully guarding all the vehicles in the jail!

We found out that the other vehicle at the scene had hit the deer before Dad, and it had rolled over their car and landed smack-dab in front of Dad! The man in the other car had tried to warn Dad by flashing his brights. Dad looked down to see if his were on, looked up and plowed into the deer at full speed, which, in turn sent the deer flying, the airbag exploding, and Dad halting. We are thankful that Dad didn’t get hurt!

James 4: 14, 15- Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

Yesterday was just one of those days that almost  “blows you away”!:-)

We had winds over 100 km/hr and the temperature was above 0, which is very rare for January! In the morning a crane’s boom got swung around by the wind, knocking out the power supply to Rosthern and area for a couple of hours.
