ANOTHER DOOT-DOOT'ER

I had mentioned my new theme song, the jingle from “the dumdum ad” for Cingular, “Doot dooooooo, doot, doot, doot.” Comes now a story about a friend’s adult son that could be scripted as an ad in that series.

He’s a highly organized engineer, and he was supposed to meet a friend to go biking after work one day. He got to the trail and realized he’d forgotten to pack his bike shoes. He couldn’t ride in the steel-toed workboots of an engineer. So he had to cancel.

He was driving home in his car when, right before his driveway, he had to stop as a ball bounced into the street and a boy ran to fetch it. Distracted, he then turned into the drive, hit the garage door opener, and . . .

BAM!!!!!

The house withstood the hit, but the bike and rack did not.

Doot dooooooo, doot, doot, doot!

Prayer request: Father, we lift up to you a husband, father and grandfather named Richard, who is on life support with serious head injuries after a traffic accident. His wife Kathy is the friend of a friend. She often calls her husband her “gentle giant.” The prognosis is not good, but Lord, oh Lord, You can help him, and we ask for that merciful help now, in Jesus’ Name, the original Gentle Giant! (Isaiah 30:18)
