If you asked people whom their favorite biblical prophet is, there’s a strong chance they would answer Isaiah. Sure, Moses gets all the accolades, received the tablets, and is the most important; but Isaiah is the prophetic book most quoted by authors of the New Testament.

Yep I felt the same about a freak bicycle accident almost 14 years ago. Broke my collarbone, shoulder blade and rib, but my bicycle helmet spared my noggin. I hated wearing helmets but felt guilty not wearing the required helmet in the Hilly Hundred. Had just buckled the chin strap moments before this freak accident and crushed the helmet b/c my head was the first thing to het the pavement. Always felt like the twinge of guilt was a nudge from the Holy Spirit. No more Hilly Hundred rides for since then either though.

In fact, I’ve had very many close calls with death that I attribute to the miraculous grace of God! No injuries like that one though...
