Doesn’t sound like an illegal name

I saw one pic where there was a big bend in the road with a guard rail but don’t know how close to the scene as support crew vehicles were by it

In this type of situation Proverbs 3:5 is the first verse that comes to my mind; Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. It is foolish to try and figure out the deeper meaning of everything that happens in this world. We had an amazing chaplain on the Fire Department where I worked and I asked for him to come to many tragedies. He seemed to always be able to come up with the best words to comfort everyone. He is an amazing man, now in his 90s I believe.

If we truly live by those words, there is nothing to fear.

Fear is actually the last tool in the enemy’s tool-shed that he has left. Unfortunately almost all of us are susceptible to it.

*****************

Who was his passenger? Everything I’ve seen has said he
was alone in the truck.

That’s what I thought I’d read, too....that the (20 year old) driver of truck was alone.

Yeah right, that dealer is full of it. But hey it sounds good. 8>).

Distraction is something I think all of us have experienced. You soon learn to not get distracted, because it could end up costing you a bundle, your life, or worse, the life of someone else. None of which are worth the distraction to be sure.

Your right. People who dismiss God simply do not understand that it is not about us, but about Him. They do not understand that His ways and His thoughts are above ours. Unbelievers, and nowadays, many believers simply are out in left field and do not understand what the heck is going on. Believers who are lost as a ball in high weeds, simply do not understand Scripture. Time grows severely short as I firmly believe He is RIGHT at the door, ready to step back into human history and deal with this dump of a world. I keep looking up for our Blessed Hope at His great appearing. I simply cannot wait. I am ready for the New Jerusalem.

Your car is out of alignment or you have a hung brake caliper.(worse case)

It should track straight for a reasonable distance on a straight, flat section of road once you let go of the wheel.

Any immediate pull to one side or another indicates a mechanical issue. Check tire wear also.

The truck driver told a witness he was texting. Just a dumbass kid. Now he has 13 maybe 14 deaths on his conscious. From reports here, he was a good kid too. (I say kid cause I am 66)

I often have that feeling myself, especially that He is very removed from us or that He only listens to the prayers of some and ignores the rest of us. Very scary and depressing. It removes all hope for a better future.

Well, our lives are in our hands. We succeed or fail based on what we Do. God is real but it or He is not driving our cars. I have never seen any evidence of God since the resurrection. Not one thing ever. I see a great deal of money raising by professional Christians based on false promise of prosperity. What a laugh. Have you ever seen Peter Popoff? He has these morons thanking him for government transfer payments.
