I was almost killed on a jet ski -boating safety Tennessee

Hey guys when you are out on the water, make sure you take it seriously. When I was 26, a boat was speeding, I caught the wake, and I went airborn and crashed into the bridge. I woke up floating in the water with an loud ringing sound. My life jacket was fully buckled prior to the accident, but the impact busted open all the straps but the bottom one. If you are on a boat and your life jacket is not fastened, it is likely not going to do anything. You never know when someone speeding or drunk is going to crash into you, and trust me getting ejecting into the lake is no fun! Had I not been wearing a properly fastened life jacket, I would not be writing this now! Be safe and if you have children, don't assume nothing is going to happen while you are boating!

Volunteering outside our gifted areas

Many years ago I transitioned from working specifically with technology at Faith Promise Church to working with the children's ministry because there was a need. Today I was working children's security during the service and they brought in a crying three year old boy who had a minor injury. Typically I don't have a lot of interaction with the children. They had to get ice, so I watched him for a few minutes. At first I was wondering what to do, but then I realized, duh, you are already raising a boy who is 10 years older than this one, just pretend like he is yours. By the time they got back with the ice, the little boy was laughing and bragging about the paper airplane we had made in an effort to get his mind off his hand. As they were filling out the incident report with the parents, all the boy kept talking about was that paper airplane. It was actually quite amazing how quickly he transitioned from crying to laughing!

Try doing something different this week, you never know where it will lead you!
