you are right you have a problem….and I believe that God has a plan for all of us -no matter good or bad! I believe that if the truth be known that when these families received the call telling them that their family members had been hurt in an accident that they did just as I did when I heard that my brother had been hurt….they immediately stopped what ever it was that they were doing and asked God to help them. Now….call it religious or what ever you want to call it—to me it is just asking a higher being to help US through a terrible time!

Thank you slc747!
Your son and all of the other families are in my prayers~ My brother (the fire fighter that was injured) is doing much better smile
I dont know who this person is that is making all the ‘ugly’ comments but it is apparent that there are ‘issues’ in this persons life. I hope and pray for a speedy recovery for your son and all the others that were injured! God has his hand in this and he will see that everyone is healed!
Do you know anything about the little boy?

I am sitting here watching my son who was one of the adults involved in the accident sleep, wondering how long he will be able to sleep this time. Usually it is no more than an hour or two at a time. Watching him try to walk is another hard thing for me to do. My son is the father of three, every adult on board is a father. There are 9 children whose fathers are now severly injured, and cannot work or provide for their families & that does not include the rescuer who was injured. Please before you make anymore sarcastic remarks, think about the fact that the families, and the injured can read your comments.

well you never know what GOD is going to put in your path OR what he is going to do in your life to make you grow closer to him!
If you dont think the accident was funny then STOP making all these comments about IF god is in control—-then he isnt a good boat driver!
Maybe you need to be faced with a situation that will bring you closer to him? My brother was involved and I truly believe that GOD was in control and held his hand out to my brother!!!!

And don’t use all capital letters! Are you not able to follow the simplest instructions? A great place to start would be the instructions in the Bible, f4f.

Honey,  That is not God controling the typing that is the devil.  And if this individual does not know the difference, then yes they do need help and our prayers.  I had to giggle a little at the driving the boat comment.  That just shows how little is known by this individual about God.  Grace & Mercy on us all.
