The Crash
My predominant prayer while snowboarding in Utah was for safety! Parker and I have only been snowboarding twice so we aren't ready for the X games quite yet. We definitely had our fair share of wipe outs, but one of them really scared me.
On one of the blue runs, Parker went off the edge and it was about a 45 degree angle down the side of the mountain into tons of powder. He literally disappeared. I kept calling his name, but he didn't answer so I was afraid he hit a tree. I finally made it over there and God answered our prayer for safety. He was buried chest deep in snow and surrounded by three little saplings that caught him.
I couldn't resist taking a shot with my phone camera.

priceless! what a great pic!
what a wonderful thing to see after your heart sinks to your toes...a hilarious kodak moment!
Hi, Mark. I was a paramedic before I became a pastor 20+ years ago. Our priorities were always ABC: Airway, Breathing, Circulation. Now that's all been changed where the first step is to snap a picture with our camera phones before determining if someone needs medical attention.
I'm just teasing. Only a parent could know the relief of finding one's child safe and sound after a scary fall like that. Way to go, Parker! Way to chase the lion even when the lion doesn't stick to the bunny slope!
Thanks for the laugh, Tim! So true!
Gotta capture those moments for posterity!
Mark
