Thank God I Wasn't Near Winnie, Texas on Tuesday at 5 a.m.

I hate traffic jams, so am I ever glad I wasn't driving on Interstate 10 just west of Winnie, Texas, on Tuesday at about 5 a.m.

I just read that the eastbound lanes of I-10 were shut down for nearly six hours because of a tank-truck fire.

I live in Michigan, but I have a couple aunts who live in San Antonio, which is only about 250 miles west of Winnie, so this one hit pretty close to home. Made me think, "What if I had went on a road trip to visit my aunts early this week and got really lost? That could have been me in that traffic jam!" These are the type of near misses that reassure me that God is on my side. Thanks.
