Be prepared, always!
Monday morning at five am my brother and I were heading to his property to turkey hunt. As we drive the freeways out of town we watch, always on guard for the deer. A couple of times over the year’s actions had to be taken to avoid the deer. Monday morning while in the city limits, just as I merged upon the freeway a deer came running into my lane. We weren’t prepared, we weren’t on guard, and we hadn’t given it a thought since we were in the middle of the city. The damage isn’t real bad, it was hard enough to kill the deer but the damage to my truck was mostly just the plastic pieces. With my insurance I have no deductible so the repairs won’t cost me anything.
Pro_15:31 The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
After it was over I asked my self, what I can learn from the accident. We would be prepared for deer when we were in an area in which deer could easily be. The lesson I learnt was to always be prepared, not just where trouble can be but every where. Most would be on guard while around a hardened criminal, but history has shown us that many crimes have been committed by those that should easily be trusted.

Excellent points, Bro Lewis! I was once at a speech given by Donald Trump and he said the people who did him the dirtiest were people he thought were his friends.
@ImNotUglyIJustNeedLove - Thanks Bro Billy! One construction company I worked for some of the worst employees were the owners own family.
Glad your insurance will take care of it! And glad you guys are ok.
Good lesson! ~ Pete
