There are times in my life that are vivid memories. Some are good and some are not so much. We had an experience while driving to JAX that I probably won't forget for some time.
We decided NOT to take I-95. We found US 90 instead. It runs North to South up the eastern coast of Florida. The beauty was not lost on us; greens, purples, rolling hills. The small towns passed, one much like the other, as we made our way to our destination. I was sailing along, approximately 60 miles per hour. During one "nanosecond", I saw four car lights headed toward me, on a two lane road, as they dipped into the pocket of the road. I immediately slammed on my breaks, and pulled to the right shoulder. Before my friend could even ask what I was doing, the black car veered into the left lane in front of the car he was illegally passing. Some time after that I started breathing again.
It will be a very long time before that image will leave my mind. We both thanked God for His mercy. He really does take good care of me.
