IT WAS NO ACCIDENT!!


I posted this on my Facebook page but for those who may not have Facebook or didn't see it....

We were involved in a car accident this afternoon on Interstate 75 in Ocala, Florida. We were on our way to our first meeting if 2014. We had just got on the interstate when a man in a pickup truck fell asleep and side-swiped us. This sent us careening off the road about 50 feet. It is only a miracle of God we did not roll the car. God brought the car to rest less than one inch shy of a concrete pad with solar equipment on it. If we would have kept going and hit the solar panels (on Stacie's side if the car) I believe the results could have been very much worse than they were. 

Both of us were and are fine - again that was very miraculous. The vehicle we were driving was a rental and totaled on the driver's side. Two other cars and a motorhome saw the accident and stopped to help us. The driver of the vehicle that hit us stopped. He was ok as well as his family who were with him. He ended up being able to drive away. 

We were at the scene for 2 hours and AAA towed the vehicle two hours away to the Orlando Airport. We hit the road with a replacement vehicle five hours after the accident. The rental car company treated us very well and was genuinely concerned about our well being. 

We thank you for those who knew and have prayed. I am sure we are going to wake up in the morning very sore but praise The Lord we are alive. I am not trying to be dramatic but after looking at how the accident played out with traffic and a couple of other factors present, I am convinced the Cobb's came very close to death today. 

God is good and I was able to get a good gospel witness in to the flatbed driver. The Lord is in control of all things and He knows all about the "why's" of today. I am not going to question or wonder. 

Please pray for all of the details with the rental and insurance companies that will have to be sorted out in the coming days. 

We are looking forward to seeing God bless in our meeting this week at New Testament Baptist Church here in Cape Coral, Florida.

Merry Christmas from the Cobbs

Stacie and I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!  We pray you are enjoying this special time of year with family and loved ones.  As Christians we know the true meaning of Christmas and we rejoice in God's love for the world in giving us a Saviour!

CORNERSTONE BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH - Sanborn, New York

This past Sunday we were at Cornerstone Bible Baptist Church in Sanborn, New York.  This has become an annual tradition - a Sunday at Cornerstone in December.  We are there every year in June for their tent meeting.  We enjoyed some good fellowship with Pastor Jack Britt, his wife and the church folks.  The services were a little light in attendance because of a big snow storm that hit Western New York during the overnight hours on Saturday into Sunday.  Despite that, the spirit was good and there was good liberty to preach the Word of God.  We are thankful to the Cox family for allowing us to stay in their beautiful home for our visit to Sanborn.

Please pray for Bro. Britt and this great church.  They are doing a good work in the Niagara Falls area and are trying to reach the area with the gospel.  I forgot to put the memory card back in the camera so the pictures below are from the archives.
