    @no big deal. I would remind them to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior before it is too late.

    This just isn’t surprising any more, and the public’s sympathy is getting less every time. Having said that, I do hope the rider makes a full recovery. Wear your helmets kids, brain damage isn’t cool.

    Still pray for them and trust God that ALL our words and caring wouldn't fall on deaf ears.
