This is a wonderful example of a man putting his family first. I have only recently explained to our children that the front passenger seat is the most dangerous seat in a car because of the driver’s natural inclination to turn a vehicle to protect themselves in the event of an accident. Yet this man willingly placed himself in danger to protect his wife and unborn child. Here is an excerpt from the article:
“It breaks my heart and it also fills me with gratefulness,” a weeping Erin Wood, 31, told NBC’s “Today” show this morning. “If it would have been a head-on crash, we both would have been killed and our baby,” she said.
Brian Wood, 33, was pronounced dead at the scene Sept. 3 after an oncoming SUV careened across the center line on Whidbey Island in Washington state, and hurtled over the roof of Wood’s 2004 Suburban. His wife was in the passenger seat. The North Vancouver, B.C., couple’s first child is due in early November.
Her husband of five years slammed on the brakes and swerved hard to the right, ensuring that he would take the brunt of the impact, his wife said. She had been dozing and woke to see the Chevy Blazer racing toward them. She suffered a banged head and a black eye, which was still visible today, but is otherwise fine. The unborn baby boy was unharmed, she said.

It's the way he was raised, the way his parents had been raised back in the homeland. You never leave the table without chewing the Real Bread. Even if there were cows to milk and you had to run, or you were late for prayer meeting at the church, or you had company for dinner. If you sat down to eat, you never left the table without eating Words.

I found this post at Generation Cedar to be very thought provoking. The quote from the young woman interviewed on Return of the Daughters is, indeed, a profound statement. She says, “I’m not single. I’m part of a family.”

The other day we purchased and watched God’s Technology, which is a film that outlines a Christian response to the digital revolution, in four parts:
Part 1: Four Biblical Principles
Part 2: Three Possible Responses
Part 3: Seven Step Training Program
Part 4: Example: The Seven Steps Applied to Facebook
We found the film to thought-provoking and informative, and will apply some of these things in our family. Another thing I liked is that I could download it direct, which saved a lot of time on postage :)
Here is the trailer. You can download the film at http://www.headhearthand.org/
