One Event can change your life....
This Blog was Posted by my Broker. Bill is a careful but very hard working and very talented in many areas. This life was nearly snuffed out and could have been with just a little different cucircumstance. Please Read this Blog and think about your own lives and the people it would affect.
This may sound old, but it happened to me TODAY. The Event rattled my inner mind so much that I have been numb most of the afternoon.
With the event of Digital TV looming very close, and our antenna being very old, it's time I got in gear and put up the new one. The old one only picked up 2 of the 10 available channels.
I have my pole for the antenna, all 27 feet of it, laying on the ground. Because of our treed lot, there is only a small choice of locations and one is just a little ways from our Power line.
I looked so that I would not run into the line and started to lift it into place. The bottom of the pole moved and so I moved over a bit. Now steady, I continued to lift it in place. Then I could not lift it anymore...and I looked back, and the last 6 inches of the metal pole was pushed up against the power line.
I DROPPED IT RIGHT AWAY!!! I sat on the ground shaking, knowing that even though the power lines are coated, it still could have been the end of my happy face on this side of the sod. This event has shaken me far more than anything in my life.
I sat there and even seen my self lying there motionless in my mind. The impact on my family would have been traumatic. In so, I thought of all the things just in the last few weeks that I had not done just because I was 'busy' with other things!
NO MORE!! I see my Atty. thurs to update my will. The fishing date with my DAD is TOMORROW! Friday I am seeing both my sons for some much over due time together.
DON'T WAIT FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN TO DO THE THINGS THAT SHOULD BE FIRST.
I believe I got a second chance, and with the Lord's help...I won't waste it.
