I was driving my daughter Sarah to Dairy Queen about an hour ago to meet a couple of her friends.
In the dark, in my peripheral vision, I saw a car rapidly approaching my street from the right. In a flash, a teenage girl pulled into the path of our Traverse as she made a left hand turn.
She had not paused a second, much less come to a complete stop. She seemed to assume the street would be clear of oncoming traffic.
I hit my brakes and punched my horn.
My headlights briefly gave Sarah and me a clear look at this young lady's reaction as she zipped in front of us, narrowly avoiding getting t-boned.
She was laughing.
If I had not seen her bonehead move coming, that girl would be in the emergency room right now. No doubt about it.
I wonder how often God spares us the immediate consequences of our own mistakes?
There is no way for us to ever know in this life.
