Praise Him for Mercy – Updated 26 April

Monty,

I wanted to let you know about a friend of mine who was involved in a motorcycle wreck this morning. Chris Polley, of the Freedom Biker Church of Hickory, was injured when he collided with a deer that ran across the road in front of him. Chris told me the deer came out of nowhere and he didn’t even have time to hit his breaks before hitting the deer and launching him from the bike only 1/2 mile from his house.

According to his wife, Aimee, there were two nurses on the scene attending to Chris almost immediately after the accident. Considering everything, he came out with relative minor injuries. He has a broken nose, black eyes, a mild concussion, and road rash to his knees. His most serious injury is to his shoulder. He was released from the emergency room early this afternoon but will see a doctor for further x-rays on his shoulder.

I spoke to Chris just a little while ago. He says he feels extremely blessed. Even though his bike is probably totalled, he will heal from his injuries. We just need to thank God for sparing Chris’ life and for continued healing for his injuries.

Thanks,

Mike Gettys
