I know, that from time to time we have discussions on the existence of GOD .
We have solid yes and solid no’s and a few who really don’t know.
Although this was a few years ago, this week,peg and myself still believe to this day that we walked away, unscathed because of divine intervention.and we do talk about it from time to time.
The wreck
Happened so quickly that we didn’t even have time to be scared.
We don’t know how many times we rolled or how long it took for first responders to get us out.
But, for some reason,, not a single one of us had a scratch ,,,I’m assuming GOD said our work here was not finished .
I don’t know how the topper stayed on either… I did have it bolted to the bed with carriage bolts so I guess I had plenty.

I took that ranger in places I probably shouldn’t have,, way down across creek edges, chisel plowed feilds( yes, you read that right) snow drifts, etc. I still miss that ol truck.
I don’t believe in luck to this extent … we had help.
Any one else have inexplicable events in their lives as well??

Glad you are OK. Good testimony to the vehicle safety too. Gave its life to save you.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I think you'll need a new Dash Board Jesus...for your next vehicle.
