On Thursday morning Noah went off the road on his way to work. We'd gotten about 5 inches of snow through the night, but it had been blowing so our main gravel road was almost completely clear. Noah was about 3 miles east of our house when he popped over a hill and found that the entire down-side of the hill was covered with snow. He didn't see it until he was on it, and he felt like he was going just a little to fast so braked to slow down. His car lost traction and slid right off the road, traveling at about 45mph. His car for several yards, plowing over several small cedar trees, narrowly missing a fence and then sliding to a halt against the edge of the ditch. Noah was wearing his seat-belt and was not thrown around. He was not harmed in any way- Praise the Lord!!
(If you look closely you can see his tracks, the fence, and his car in the thicket.) 
The view of his car from the road.
Both of our older boys have been in accidents and could potentially have been seriously injured, but both times, they walked away un-harmed (see Seth's wreck , June 2006).We are so grateful to the Lord for His hand of protection over us every day. He has kept us safe in so many situations. He is faithful!!

Praise God!
I know there are a lot of other (maybe even more important) things to learn from these incidents, but I'd like to point out how the Lord used seat belts to spare both Noah, and Seth in that earlier post.
The Lord is powerful enough to save lives any way He wants, but seat belts are one way that He does that. Believers should acknowledge our gratefulness by buckling up-- especially when it's the law.
So thank the Lord for seat belts. :)
Lord bless you guys, Ulmers!
Peace. --Jacob
Oh my - the pictures make it look even worse than how you described it! I am SO thankful the Lord protected Noah, and that Noah wore his seat belt. After an encounter like that, it reminds us not to take for granted each moment we spend with each other!
Miss you all!
I'm so glad that is O.K.! Thank the Lord!!!!!
Please tell Charity hi and give her a hug!!!!
Love,
Aleks

God is so good!
