A bus driver tries to avert a potential accident and is rewarded for his efforts. Cincinnati, Ohio April, 1985 Elmer Hambaugh will never forget that Easter weekend. Especially that Monday morning when the doctors came to operate on his foot. Good Friday morning, thinking to take a short work break, Elmer parked the city bus he drove for a living in front of a suburban Cincinnati police station. As he chatted inside, Elmer was dumbstruck to see his empty bus start slowly rolling downhill, straight for an intersection packed with rush-hour traffic. He raced out, praying, Dear God, stop that bus! In an absurdly heroic effort, Elmer grabbed hold of a side-panel advertisement on the vehicle and dug in his heelsonly to be knocked down and dragged under the chassis, one foot caught wedge-like between a rolling rear wheel and the pavement. And then, for no apparent reason, the bus came to a halt. There it stood, neatly parked at a crosswalk, safe behind the white line. A city maintenance workera man who'd never driven a busrushed to Elmer's rescue and managed to back up the vehicle. Doctors at the hospital shook their heads when they saw Elmer's lacerated flesh and mangled foot. Anticipating a complicated skin graft, they scheduled a Monday-morning operation. All weekend Elmer prayed and fasted. And on Easter Monday he heard the doctors' words of amazement, words that told of something even stranger than the fact of the bus having been suddenly stopped. "Your foot has healed. There's no reason to operate." <*}}}>< <http://www.holypostage.com/>Custom Faith-based U.S. Postage <*}}}>< + <*}}}>< <http://astore.amazon.com/halthekin-20>Catholic on Amazon <*}}}>< <*}}}>< <http://www.halfthekingdom.org/on+allposters+today.html>on AllPosters today <*}}}>< + <*}}}>< <http://www.holypostage.com/>Holy Postage <*}}}>< <*}}}><<http://www.halfthekingdom.org/>Half the <http://www.halfthekingdom.org/>Kingdom!<*}}}>< + "A person is a person, no matter how small."
