Please pray that the Lord will intervene, and that Brian will be totally healed from his injuries, and that our car will be replaced as it is the only vehicle we own and is needed for our child's therapies, and as a means for my husband to get to work to support this family. I am very concerned right now. I am shaking so badly, it is hard to type this. Thanks for your prayers!!!!!

Latest Update Brian Just called me, the ambulance is taking him to the hospital. He is having severe pain and swelling now in his knee and is having difficulty walking. He also mentioned that from the way the car looks he should be dead, and he is right now thanking God for sparing his life, as am I. If the car would have hit another few inches it would have crushed the drivers side door into him. He was unconcious for about 3 minutes after impact because of the force of the airbag. His head is aching pretty badly he said. I hope that everyone can pray that there will be no permanent damage, as this is his 3d head injury in his lifetime, and he is only 32 years old. Also pray for his knee and that he recovers quickly. The kid driving the other vehicle, was around 18 and police are still looking for him at the moment. I pray they find him. I can forgive, that is not a problem. I just want Brian to be alright. I love him very very much. I cannot get to the hospital to be at his side, since I have no way to get there. But My Mother in Law is going, so atleast he will have someone at the hospital to look out for him. |

Latest Update Brian arrived home about 30 minutes ago. No Broken Bones, Praise God!!! He is suffering numerous cuts and abrasions from the airbag, hospital discharge sheet states that he does have a head injury, and contusions and obviously is VERY sore, but he is praising God so it is all good, because he is alive!!! The Troopers said that the drunk driver would have hit Brian head on and if Brian would not have swerved then Brian and the Drunk Driver both probabally would have died. The DD was going 60 miles per hour and lost control of his truck, Brian was only going about 25 mph, so he could not get out of the way fast enough. The drivers headlights were inches from my husbands face, glass shattered everywhere, the bumper was ripped from our car and found in the woods, and the axle was completely torn off as well. The impact of the crash was so great that both airbags in deployed. The tropper said that the force was considerable because usually on a drivers side crash only the drivers airbag will deploy. The State troopers were amazed that my husband survived this crash, and so was my husband. Our car was mangled badly. This further strengthens my faith in God though, because my husband was protected, and things could have been so much worse. God is very good, indeed and my husband can no longer deny as this is proof to him. I had my mother in law take a picture of our crashed car this morning, and as soon as I get this film developed I will post with the photos. Right now I am praising God for his mercy and compassion towards our family. Brian is also praising God and wants me to be near him. They know who it was that hit Brian now, and they are obtaining a warrant as we speak to arrest him. Please pray for this drunk driver, I am sure that he needs prayer even more than we do. Thanks again, and please keep praying!!! The man does have insurance and we are hoping that it will cover the cost of the loss of our car, so that we will be able to get another car. Yours in Chirst, Mary |

Lord God, I pray that Brian will become saved. If this situation can be used to lead him to You, I pray that's what happens. I pray You show him how You answer prayers, and that he wants to know You as his Savior. I pray the movie "The Passion of the Chirst" had a great impact on him and that that will lead him to salvation. Use these things in his life to reach him. Lord, I pray You will bring Eric to justice, and I pray that Jason's insurance has to pay. Lord, I ask that You save these two brothers as well. Anyway You can reach them, bring those things into their lives that will convince them they need You. I pray they will go to the movie "The Passion of the Chirst." I pray You arrange everything to get them there. Lord, I thankyou for preserving Brian. I have prayed often lately that You would protect the unsaved for the day of salvation, and I believe that's what You did in Brain's case. Save him, soon, Lord. ~JeriRose~ Seeking YOUR Glory in 2004 |

Father God, This situation is an awesome one for this family. What a blessing that he is OK and no one else was injured. This is a true financial hardship for this family. Please resolve it for them quickly so that they can move on. Amen. |

I have contacted the local newspaper in writing with our story in hopes of gaining attention towards the lack of justice here, as they still have not issued a warrant for his arrest and he is free to go out and do this again and maybe next time kill someone. I DO forgive, yet I do believe that Eric needs rehabilitation and I would never forgive myself if I did not press the issue. It could be me that prevents another accident involving an innocent person/people or even Eric killing himself needlesly. I am still praying for Eric and his family and I have hope that he will do the right thing. I also pray that this warrant will be served soon. The Troopers are still claiming they are obtaining it so I do not know what is holding them up. Thanks again for all of your prayers and support for myself and family and I will keep everyone posted as things happen. Yours in Christ, Mary Templeton |
