Eleven-year-old Girl Comes to Diabetic Mom's Rescue, Stopping Her Out-of-control Van

Police called her quick thinking "nothing short of heroic."

AP Staff/AH (April 24th, 2007)

According to an AP report, yesterday, the courageous actions of 11-year-old Abigail Parker may have saved not only her own life, but also that of her mother and younger brother as well.

While driving on U.S. 31 south of Peru, Indiana, Abigail noticed her diabetic mother had begun to drive "erratically at about 80 mph," say police. Deborah Parker (36) had started having a diabetic reaction to low blood sugar.

That's when Abigail reportedly sprang into action, climbing from the van's rear seat up to the front, and onto her mother's lap. She successfully stopped the vehicle at least partially off the road, called 911, and kept her 8-year-old brother calm while she waited for help to arrive.

We've heard that message conveyed countless times, from the movie, It's a Wonderful Life, to messages from the pulpit. And yet it's still a wonder when you see God change one heart which, in turn, affects hundreds of others. That probably wasn't even a passing thought this past March, however, when the Lord suddenly broke into the life of famous motorcycle daredevil, Robert "Evel" Knievel. He knew that there were Believers who were actively praying for his salvation—he cites his daughter, ex-wife and their churches, along with the "hundreds" of letters Knievel had received urging him to trust God—but for 68 years, he had resisted calling on Jesus Christ as Savior. According to an article in Christianity Today, ...

People who sleep on their stomachs have lower night time blood pressure

People who sleep on their stomachs have lower night time blood pressure than people who sleep in other positions, according to research from Japan. Yasuharu Tabara of Ehime University School of Medicine in Ehime, Japan, noted that high blood pressure during the night can increase the risk of a night time heart attack, reports Patient Health International. In the research, more than 270 healthy men ages 19 to 64 who were not taking blood pressure medication wore automatic blood pressure cuffs. They were first asked to lie down face up and later were told to turn over on their stomachs. In almost all the men, their overall blood pressure dropped significantly when they were face down. And 25 of the men experienced an even more dramatic decrease of more than 15 points when they just turned over onto their stomachs. In addition, systolic blood pressure, which is the force blood exerts on the artery walls when the heart beats, fell by ...
