ZZ Top Dude Saved Our Life

Yesterday, as usual, I went to get Drew from school. Jake came with me while Devin stayed home. As we where coming to a stop, in the left turn lane, (we where the first car), I heard some great 80's music coming from another vehicle. I looked over to the right to see who had such great taste and saw two lanes over a long bearded dude in the cab of a semi truck. He was happily bee-bopping to a familiar 80's song (but I can't remember it). He looked over at us and was looking at Jake in the back seat. I turned my head back to see if Jake noticed him. Then looked at the truck driver to see what he was doing. It was odd to see a man in his 60's, sporting a ZZ Top beard, rocking out to 80's music. So I told Jake to show him the rock-on sign, and Jake waived at Mr. ZZ Top Dude and he waived back.

I then looked ahead and noticed that the turn arrow light was green and just as it registered in my brain, I saw before me a work truck with a flat be trailer speed through the intersection going about 40mph. "What?" I thought. I have a green arrow, hey he ran a red light! Oh my gosh! If I wasn't so into Mr. ZZ Top Dude I would have started to make my turn, not even looking to see if anyone was coming from my left and WHAM! He would have hit me with such force I could have died, and Jake...........................................

I believe in angels! I wonder if Mr. ZZ Top Dude was an angel sent to save our lives. And God knows I love my 80's music and that is a perfect way to get my attention!

Praise God! Thank You God for saving our lives!
