I was driving home from work Monday night heading North on I-85 behind an ambulance when the traffic came to a halt. I sat there stopped in the car for more than 2 1/2 hours. I wasn't sure what had happened, but I knew it had to be bad. When I finally made it home and saw the news I was shocked. It was way worse then I could have imagined. As more and more details came out over the next day I was moved to do anything in my power to help the families. This could have been any one of us. You never know what day will be your last. It's times like these when the community can come together and help in any way possible. A lot of people helping a little can really go a long way for this devastated family. Take a moment to think of how you may be able to help, even if it's just saying a prayer that God will give them strength to make it through. Shane Robinson Web developer for "Favored Image" |
