I had planned to post on something completely different today. It will have to wait until tomorrow.
Kristin, at the Alpine Klein Bunch, posted this video. I watched it.
Oh. My.
Please do yourself a favor and take a moment to view. If you text and drive or even talk on the phone and drive, this will stop you dead in your tracks.
I am not being preachy. In fact, I need a wake-up call in this area. I am a busy mom and sometimes, the car is the only place I can actually return or make a call. I am constantly looking for ways to trim down my “to do” list and will at times rely on this time to get these things done. What am I thinking?
Thank you for the call, Kristin.
I can’t help but 1) be so sad for the victims and the families but 2) think that this Reggie Shaw is someone’s son. He is a good kid. He just made a bad choice.
I have made more bad choices than I care to admit. I still do. It could have so easily been any of us.
These are the kinds of things that just reiterate my need to pray protection over my children each and every day.
Protection as victims, yes. But protection that they are not the perpetrator, too. I suspect that this boy’s life will be forever altered by the poor decision to text while driving.
I suspect that the victim’s families will forever be altered as well.
Loss for both sides.
So sad.

It only takes a fraction of a second. And no one knows who the victims will be.

Everytime I see something about “drexting” I think “Really am I the only one in the world that thinks this looked like a bad idea?” But at the same time I think I hit a dog a few months back, like a year ago actually, and it was because I was dialing my phone while driving. I’m still not sure I hit the dog, it may have been my imagination, but it terrified me.

No you are not the only one that thinks this is a bad idea. It is.
Thanks for commenting, Lee! I enjoyed your hysterical blog!
Oh my gosh, this is so sad. Definitely made me cry. Thank you for sharing this, for sure an eye opener for a lot of people. So scary that all these young teenage kids are on the road and so careless. I use to be one of them, you just don’t THINK at that age, nieve is what I was. I thought I was invincible.
thank you for visiting my blog, I’m glad you like the Bachelor as much as I do, lol :) Can you tell me how this comment luv thing works. I signed up for it, but don’t know how to get my last post visible when I comment on SITS.
Hi, Crystal! I know – it’s horrid. It has made me leave my phone in my purse while I’m driving – where it should have always stayed.
As far as the Comment Luv goes…You have to download the Comment Luv plug-in for your site. Their website is http://comluv.com.
I use WordPress so I am not exactly sure how to do it on Blogger BUT once you have the plug-in and you comment on a site that has Comment Luv as well, your latest post will show up in your signature. This is only on sites, such as SITS, that also have the Comment Luv plug-in.
Let me know if I can help you out with anything else! Almost Monday night…
Wow how very very Sad And yet happens to so many thank u for sharing
I’m glad I have no clue how to text but makes me worried about the other guy
