AND YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD A HEADACHE

The daddy of one of the players on our softball team works as an emergency medical technician in a nearby city. He told this story:

He was called to a construction site, where one worker had accidentally driven a nail from a nail gun into the skull of another worker.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, another worker who had been carrying some big pieces of drywall on a ledge 25 feet off the ground saw it happen -- and he fainted.

Down, down, down he fell, onto a pile of rubble.

Ironically, it seemed that the guy with the nail in his brain was in better shape than the guy who fell.

Our friend was constrained by privacy regulations from following up on either of their conditions, but since nothing dire has been in the newspaper, we’re figuring they’re both going to be OK.

Now, we’ve all heard of hitting the nail ON the head. . . .

Prayer request: Safe travel for a beautiful young lady named Neely returning from her freshman year at college in Texas. Thank You, Father, for making her transition year away from home so wonderful, just like her older sister’s at North Carolina: a perfect match of student and school. (Rev. 15:3)
