This happened to me many years ago, driving a 3/4 ton box van, one of those days when the temperature dropped from the 80's to 20's in a couple hours...
Came around a curve, there is a car in the opposite ditch. About that time I realized why it was there. ICE!
It hadn't rained, no other evidence that there would be ice, just some strange condensation ice from the sudden temperature drop.
Well, of course I hit the same ice, began sliding side ways.
Problem is, there were about 5 or 6 people standing beside the car in the ditch, and I was sliding straight for them!!!
I was on the horn, trying to steer and wave them to run, they were oblivious to what was about to happen.
Chances are I would not have been physically injured, but I was about to cause the deaths of several people!
About that time, the truck stopped sliding...
Now, I have been in the ditch more than once, you get that feeling when you cross the tipping point, when you know you are going, and there is not a thing you can do to stop it...
Well, I was way beyond that point! There was a force that defies all laws of physics that pushed that truck back on the road!
The Bible references angels many times. There is no mention of them being dainty little flittering fairies! They are fearsome, and powerful! That day one prevented a huge tragedy for those people, and myself!

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
