Always Safe

[For young teens]

JAMAE WOLFRAM RICHARDSON

Can you be sure you'll be safe? Yes, you can.

Rick knows why, and he's experienced protection from harm. Out riding a motorcycle, he and a friend were suddenly chased by a German shepherd. To shake the dog, the boys raced down a small hill. At the end was a sharp turn. The bike skidded and then flipped, and both of them were thrown into a ditch. Rick landed in about a foot of water on his head and right shoulder, and his friend was on top of him.

"Before I really had time to check or think about it, I knew I was all right," Rick explained. "Ed couldn't move his leg, so I helped him up, but I rejected the thought that he could be injured. In just a few minutes he could walk. Aside from the mud and a few tiny scratches, we were both all right. When we went back to fish Ed's unbroken glasses out of the ditch, we were amazed to find good-sized boulders and logs all around the spot where we had landed."
