The Herrell Family

We received two big hits this past week.  Our website/blog which has now been up for one year received its 10,000th hit!  We want to simply say thank you for caring enough about our family to keep up with us and to pray for us faithfully.  It is the prayers of God’s people that protect us from things like our second hit.  On our way to Calvary Baptist Church in Chattanooga, a truck in front of us ran over a shredded tire.  A piece of that tire flew directly at us.  In the picture to the left, Lauren points out the initial landing point.  From there, it hit just between the windshield and hood, the windshield, the sunroof, and finally the car carrier before it went on its way.  Just a few feet higher and we would have taken a direct hit to the windshield.  Things would have been different if that would have happened.  As it turned out, we ended up with one dent, one scratch, and increased heart rates.  It is the prayers of people like you that protect us as we travel the many miles of deputation.  Just wanted to let you know and to also say thanks for caring about our family.  We love you all!  Keep praying!
