    1. [TNGIBSON-L] Proof to me that God protects

    3. On Monday, July 19th, I was at my job as a fuel delivery driver. I deliver diesel, gasoline and kerosene to farmers in Gibson and surrounding counties. With 2000 gallons of diesel and 300 gallons of gas I attempted to make a left hand turn into a customers drive when my truck was rearended by an 18 wheeler traveling at a high rate of speed. The truck turned upside down and the cab was in flames by the time it stopped moving. Lying on the cab roof the heat and flames blocked my escaping from the drivers side. I looked toward the passenger side and could see the window was broken and the cab was crushed in, the hole looked only big enough for a child to go through, not a 230 lbs man. But I knew if I wanted to see my wife and kids again it was my only hope. As I made for the window the flames filled the cab, but I was able to get through with much pulling and kicking. I dont know if God shrunk me for a minute or enlarged the hole, but no one could believe I got out such a small space. Within seconds of my escape the explosions began, one of which separated the truck from the tank.Another completely turned the truck facing the opposite direction. Yesterday, I left the hospital suffering with a moderately burned arm, 4 broken ribs and numerous cuts and bruises. But if it had not been for God's protection, I could not have survived in any condition.
