unscathed, looking absolutely,
perfectly intact. He was looking
directly at me as well. Praise God!
Then I redirected my eyes toward the
front of the car to see how close we
came to a collision.
That's when I first comprehended the
miracle. You see, the hood of my car
was smashed nearly to the
windshield, folded neatly into the air
to make a tent over the engine. The
tailgate of the truck was in my
engine about half way back. The
truck had literally fastened itself to
the engine of my car.
Parts of my car were scattered here
and there on the road. It looked
really bad from where we sat. By the
look on the faces of those in the cars
around us, I knew it looked even
worse from out there.
" Ian, I'm so sorry...are you ok?" I
asked slowly. "Yes," he calmly

replied. "Me neither," I said. "It's
really strange but it felt soft to me,

company declared my car a total loss
and soon after came a check for the
amount they determined to be fair
and reasonable for my mangled
vehicle.
Looking back on the sequence of
events, I once wondered if God was
disappointed that I did not call out to
Him before we hit the truck. You see,
I didn't pray in that nanosecond but
He sent His Angels to protect us
anyway.
After some reflection, I now believe
that I didn't have to pray at that
moment because God already had
his loving eyes on us. He had heard
our daily prayers for protection for

ultimate insurance provider of the
universe and the comprehensive
coverage was already paid in full by
Jesus Christ.
As we continue to face all the world
has to offer, we are forever grateful
that our insurance policy remains in
effect each and every day because
the end of our time on earth may
also come in a nanosecond.
