Thank God for Red Lights!
Tonight on my way back from school, the light for me to turn on the main road was red. At first I was kind of pissed. Impatient. Well I am heading down the road almost to the intersection where I turn to reach my apartment complex. Suddenly I see a whirl of lights. At first I thought a vehicle was trying to make a u-turn, but no... it slid out of control, spun around, and then ended up in a ditch. I was in such shock. As I passed it looked as if the car was backing up. I didn't feel right just ignoring it though so I turned around to come back. At that point someone was there helping. I had to continue down the road a bit to find somewhere to turn around to head back towards home. That took maybe 2 minutes. by the time I got back the cops were there. the truck didn't flip or hit anything, so hopefully the driver is ok.
Thing is, if that light had been GREEN I would have been in the right position to be hit by that truck as it slid across the road, taking me with it into the ditch. What did I learn? Slow down. And appreciate red lights! To most people they mean STOP but they may just be God's way of slowing you down to keep you from crashing!
