What will I do to "daily remember and recognize God's love for me?" Write it down when I feel it.

I prayed for rain today and He sent it. I am grateful. 

Jared Ammon texted and said he washed and waxed my car. A few minutes later I got a phone call that went something like this:

Gramma, I have some bad news. I was coming back from the carwash and I ran your car in a ditch. 

I sent Jared our insurance information so he could call a tow truck. He called the insurance and started a claim but never called a tow truck. 

JA really played down the damage to the car. Stacy called and asked me if I wanted her to send some pictures and I said yes. Here is what she sent:

Ok, he did say the back tire went into the ditch.

I don't see any real damage here.

The side airbags deployed.

Stacy said she doesn't think he should drive it

because his vision would be impaired with the airbags.

Now this is surprising. I had no idea any

damage was done to the front. This is

one side and then the other.

Oh dear. We need to get it to a body shop.

James was just as surprised as I was and immediately started making plans to send it to a body shop. The problem is he could never get in touch with Jared Ammon. Jared didn't have to use a tow truck to get the car out. Some guys working at a nursery used their equipment to get the car out and he drove it the short distance to Stacy & Paul's. He told me he thought he could fix the airbags but I question that.

Chandler Auto Body is out of business. The new business is called Caliber Collision. James made an appointment at 3:30 today but it didn't happen. Jared was still moving stuff and then he was asleep. Stacy says she doesn't think he should be driving it anyway because of the airbags. I guess we will try again tomorrow.

The first time Jared told me about the car he never mentioned it lurching. When he told James he said it lurched and that's why he lost control and landed in the ditch. If this is true there is something seriously wrong with it and I am concerned. Our mechanic and nephew Erik no longer works as a mechanic. He is a teacher at a school. James has been talking to him and he has agreed to look at it, at the school. I wonder if someone complained about him working on cars in his backyard. 

James had an appointment with his heart doctor, Dr. Memon in Globe today. His appointment was at 2:20 and he said he arrived at 2:19.5. The doctor says he is in good shape as far as his heart is concerned and praised him for staying healthy. He also said his daughter passed away and seemed quite depressed about it. 

I am wondering why this happened to Jared Ammon. We have had no problems with the car except the air conditioning stopping when the car slows down and stops at a traffic light. 

This evening we walked and listened to our book, "Chiara's Choice."

And away she goes!
