Do you believe in miracles?

I am a relatively new member to FTE and have gotten some great information here. Thanks for all the help to the other users as well as to Ken. On August 14th I was traveling on US 264 in my '99 F150 when a gentleman in a Durango crossed the median and hit me head-on. My seatbelt held me in place for the airbag to do its job, I walked away from this! Obviously, I was in shock as I couldn't move for 5 days afterward. As I have explained to others, I'm not sure that being in a Ford saved my life, but Jesus must have been comfortable in mine-so I think I'll continue to drive Fords forever. I replaced my F 150 with an '01 F 250 CC SB 5.4, a little more leg room for Him! Since I'm a computer dummy, Ken is going to post the pics for me. Peace

I can only imagine if a small truck hit me head on...I'd hate to see what my truck would do to theirs. (shivers)

Well after T-oning a mini van a few months back, and walking away with not so much as a hair out of place, I can vouch for these trucks standing up in a wreck.

Glad your hear to pass on your story.

Unfortunately, he didn't make it. When Ken gets the pics posted, you will see why it was truly a miracle that I even survived, much less WALKED away from this.

carter1, wow, I'm shocked. You're lucky to be alive. God smiled on you and allowed you to live through such a thing. As for the other fella in the Durango, may he rest in peace........
