Widow Maker...widow maker! the words so proudly said..
Painted on the bumper.....of that shiney rig!
*******************************************************
Billy Joe was a proud gear jamm'n Truck Driver....
He drove the LONG HAUL, in his shiney red FrieghtLiner...
made in Portland Oregon!
He had started as a swamper..untill he got his Commercial Drivers
licence, then moved up to driv'n team 11 western states..but
now! He was a LoneWolf independent "Owner-operator" proud as a
peacock of his new diesel cab-over...
Big Cummins Turbo..15 forward automatic gears...Delux Cab, air
conditioned, sound proofed.. Stereo, CD, tv,vcr,Sega Genisis and
Nientendo 64! ...even a microwave and a gps locater system!
His laptop just beeped and an arrow and told him speed, time, to destination
fuel consumption, showed him where he was to within 5 feet!
"Billy Joe! Why'd yah buy all that shiney chrome and wheels! don't
Y'all know that'll drive yah to the poor house? ...and if that don't
happen..you'll park it fer some yah-hoo to steal it!"
joked the guys on the frieght dock...
"Y'well..first off..I make my money when the wheels go roundy-round..
an I don't intend to stop long 'nuff fer the theives to catch me snooz'n!"
Billy replied...
"Yep!Hehheehee...That may be true but it'll make a widow out of yur bride!"
"Hmmmmm... might at that!" Thought Billy..."Widow Maker!"
waddah name! that'll be worth a free cup 'o coffee at the big truck stop!
*and so off went Billy Joe... cross'n the USA on the Interstate, one load
led to another and sure 'nuff it was hard to make it home...He sent his pay
on back to his family and they paid his payment and fuel...and Billy Joe
'kept right on truck'n down the road...
Several years later...
----------------------
Billy Joe was on a long run from 'Frisco to Chicago.....
Runn'n 'bout 70mph and grow'n on the downhill side of the BigHump
I-80 out of Lander Wyoming.... It was Late and it'd been a LONG DAY!
Billy was haul'n 20,000 pounds of flat steel... when on a long curve his
light caught the shape of a broken Van and trailer...the van slumped over,
and KIDS WERE IN THE HYWAY!
(could have been Rangers on the way to Powwow!)
Billy hit the jake brakes...on the collum and then the "binders....
and 20,000 pounds of steel tried to stay straight at 75mph..then!
*SLOWLY THE TRAILER STARTED TO COME AROUND TO THE RIGHT!
20,000LBS OF STEEL COMMING RIGHT OVER THE TOP OF THE PARKED VAN
OF RANGERS!!!!!!!*
Billy...got on the horn!
brUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAHHHHHHHH!!!!!
..and the boys looked up at Death!
(pause)
Up in the cab, a little tear came to Billy's eye...
"LORD! Help me JESUS!"
...and that Big old truck driver, turned the wheel...and drove
that rig right off the road and over a cliff!
20,000lbs of steel buried Billy Joe....but to LONG HAUL TRUCKERS..
One life for Ten is the code... and Billy made a good trade.
*******************************************************
Boys... someone else died for you.
Way back before you were born or thought of..Jesus died on the cross
For You! he paid the price,so you could gain eternal life...
He'd like you to take his gift, and if You havent done that yet..
Now would be a good time, Right?
Let's pray....
