Right Place, Right Time
We had an eventful evening last night. We decided to take Emily and Arthur to one of our favorite places in Spokane...Bowl and Pitcher State Park along the river. As soon as we got there, we started to walk over the suspension bridge and Phil and Arthur yelled out, "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" and then they took off running, full speed ahead, across the bridge. Emily and I had not seen this, but a young man who was climbing a rock above the river fell about 40 feet and landed on the rocks below. Phil and Arthur witnessed the fall, and ran to help him. They were able to stabilize him, keep him warm, check his pulse and make sure he stayed coherent until the paramedics arrived, about 20 minutes later. Emy and I kept the kids distracted, but watched from a distance. It was quite an event, with several ambulances, fire engines and a news camera involved.
Earlier in the evening, we had a hard time deciding on a park to visit after dinner. We have so many beautiful parks here in Spokane, but it is apparent to us now that the Lord wanted us there last night at that very moment.

You guys are just fantastic!
What a beautiful imaage of God's perfect timing.
Sounds like Phil certainly needed to be there right then! What kind of contact do you think you will have with the man in the future? That could make it into Reader's Digest.
Probably none. Phil quietly walked away from the scene as the paramedics arrived.
What a hero!!!!
