Blessings 365: Day 255: Divine protection for our friend

You may remember that several months ago we were raising money for a motorcycle.  Well, thanks to our supporters (who were used by God to bless us!) we were able to get that money and we now have a boda that is used several times a week taking guys to different villages around Gulu.  These villages are unaccessible by car.  Thank you again!!

A couple of weeks ago, our friend James was heading home from a remote village when he was involved in an accident.  The boda slipped on a bit of loose dirt and immediately went straight down to the right.  James hit his head on a rock. This is what his helmet looked like when he got to our house and showed it to us:

As we talked with him and heard what happened, and later as we talked about it as a family, it hit us - James could easily have died.  Without that helmet...and God's protection...James would have died going to tell that village about Jesus.  We are SO thankful that he had his helmet on!!

Several have asked how he is.  That night he was very sore on his side and pretty much all over, so we gave him some ibuprofen.  Scott took him to the clinic the next day (when he complained that his eye was seeing funny!) and he had a concussion, but no broken ribs.  After a couple of days rest he was feeling better and yesterday when I talked with him he was feeling 100% back to normal!

Praise the Lord for His protection!
