As you know, the Lord has me gather the headlines for the news, then post them with HIS interpretation on Signs Of The Times (here on His website). As I was gathering news today He showed me the story with the headline, "Woman Impaled In Face With Pipe, Survives." What happened was a pipe was kicked up by another vehicle and broke through her car windshield while she was driving, piercing her face and neck. There was another story a day or two ago where a man was asleep in his home in his bedroom in his own bed and he was run over by a car. Since the beginning of 2007 there have been too-many-to-mention stories about people thinking they are going about their everyday lives when the 'unthinkable' happens. Please read the article then after it is finished there is more from the Lord...
SALT LAKE CITY - A pipe kicked up by another car broke through a driver's windshield and pierced the woman's face and neck, officials said.
Brenda Shaw, 36, was impaled Monday after the car in front of her on Interstate 15 ran over the pipe. It was several feet long and 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter, officials said.
It may have fallen off a construction truck, said Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Preston Raban.
"Nobody really knows for sure," Raban said. "It looks like a piece of scaffolding."
According to the Utah Highway Patrol, the pipe hit Shaw just left of her nose and under her eye - missing her spinal cord by inches. Shaw was able to stop her car on the left side of the road and another driver who stopped to help called 911.
Shaw was conscious when troopers arrived, and the pipe had been removed by the time she got to the hospital, officials said.
She was in intensive care Thursday at LDS Hospital. She was in critical but stable condition.

Again - TRULY MANY interesting stories this week - all of the 'seemingly' normal things people are doing when tragic things happen -
What is the message?
That NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THEM IN THE SPAN OF TIME FROM WHEN WE ARE PERMITTED TO WAKE UP UNTIL THE TIME WE ARE PERMITTED TO SLEEP - and that without JESUS any number of things could take us out of this world and into hell for all eternity.
NO ONE CAN BEGIN TO KNOW what will happen to them in the course of their day. Without Holy Spirit and discernment, man cannot even know if a thing is brought by the devil or is something the Lord has allowed to get their attention, to shake them from their false sense of security and get them to look to him for mercy and forgiveness.
Man's only assurance is Christ Jesus. Man's only assurance is to submit and surrender to His perfect will for their lives. Even the Christian is not protected when he is walking out of the Father's perfect will. For truly the Lord is not obligated to protect us when we are doing things according to the world or the flesh, but only when we are walking in the steps He has laid out for us.
The hour is late
Romans 13:11
And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
2 Corinthians 6:2
(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
The time is NOW.
"Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out! For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has become His counselor? Or who has first given to Him and it shall be repaid to him? For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen" (Romans 11:33-36)
Spoken to His Messenger
