Iowa is safe, but Iraq is coming, I just choose not to think about it.
Our day did not start out to well. It is 6 am. I am traveling to Sioux City to work and Ryan is going to Des Moines. I have some free time so I call Ryan and we talk awhile.
I am traveling down the highway going 70 mph and I see a warning light go off in my car. Of course I do not know what it means, so I am trying to find my glasses and the manual. I discover I have low pressure in my tire. No problem, I can put air in my tire. I stop at Casey's and the tire is pretty much flat. Well I can look pretty pathetic and the first guy I ask, changed my tire. So I am on my way.
Jeff calls me a minute later. Ryan has just had a fairly serious accident. He was not hurt but they think he totaled his car. The patrolman told him, he was very lucky boy. He just missed getting hit by a semi going 75 mph.He hit rain and hydroplaned on the interstate. The car turned to its side and traveled down the road for a long way then ended in a ditch.
He missed the bus to eastern Iowa but the guard will get him there tomorrow. We are so thankful he is OK. I do not like to think of it as luck but as Gods protection.

Praise the Lord he's ok!! What a day!
How terrifying, Karen!! I'm so glad he's safe. Sawyer takes his driver's test on Wednesday and I feel so sick about it. I'm having a really hard time letting go .....
Praying for Ryan's safety at home and afar.
Thank goodness he is was not hurt.Must have been scary for him too.
And yes we need to pray for the flood victums in Iowa too.
