It has been some time since I have written an article on lifeteen.com, so first let me apologize for being away. Some of you may have heard that on July 3rd my wife Kristen was in a bad accident. She was struck by a car while she was jogging and sustained two broken shoulders and a wound to the back of her head.

First of all, I want to thank all of you who prayed for her recovery from the bottom of my heart. These last few months have been extremely difficult and all your prayers, support and Emails have been greatly appreciated. Kristen is doing much better now, but still has a long road ahead with physical therapy trying to regain strength back in her arms. We have been truly blessed that she is still with us and that her injuries, though very serious, were not life threatening.

I have realized more and more over the last few months just how precious life truly is. I don’t know what my children and I would have done if something worse had happened. Every day that we are given is a precious gift from our Father above and each one of us needs to cherish it and use it as an opportunity to share God’s love through our very lives.

Please continue to keep Kristen in your prayers and please pray for all those who are hurting and are sick and especially those who have no one to pray for them.
