My fellow brothers and sisters,
I come to you in this hour of desperation for your prayers. On Wednesday, December 1, I was driving on University Ave in Des Moines. I had just come from the college after an exhausting all-night evangelism and witnessing session with a young Communications major. I was texting her while driving about 50 mph. Little did I know there was a bike lane to the side of me and I ended up slamming into a gay cyclist riding in it.
The accident was pretty horrible. I suffered no real injuries, but the shock of being involved in an accident is really overpowering and I am still shook up from it to this day. My Mercedes SL65 AMG was less lucky. My front right side of the fender is all smashed in and the windshield is cracked. There's also some paint scraped off on the hood. The bicyclist is even less luckier than that: He is currently on life support in serious condition.
This was clearly just an accident. Although the cyclist should've been more responsible. Why was he out driving in the street anyways? You're supposed to ride your bike on the sidewalks. I am absolutely distraught over the accident. The next day I took my Mercedes down to my private mechanic and he quoted me over $12,000 in repairs. And that is after a generous discount. I'm also facing possible court time and a lawsuit, but I am confident my legal team will be able to defend me.
So, I ask your prayers for the following...
Please pray for me, brothers and sisters. I need you now more than ever!

So, I ask your prayers for the following...
- Pray for me, so that I may get over the stress of having been involved in an accident.
- Pray for me, having to endure an expensive repair bill to my Mercedes (although I'm thinking about buying a new one)
- Pray for me that my lawsuit goes through. On Monday, my lawyers are filing a lawsuit against the cyclist (and his family if he dies) seeking millions in compensation for being at-fault in the accident and causing stress and damages to myself.
Please pray for me, brothers and sisters. I need you now more than ever!
