Last summer a father in Memphis was forgotten by his family.[1]  News Channel 5 carried the story.  The father’s family was traveling from Texas when they stopped at a Memphis gas station.  They were going fill up with gas and switch drivers.  The father had been driving while another driver was sleeping in the back of the van. The plan was for the father to now sleep in the back while the other adult drove.  The father went into the gas station to pay the bill for the cash.  When he came out, his van and his family were gone.  The family thought the dad was already in the back asleep.  So they loaded up and took off.  The distraught dad called his cell phone, which was in the van, but no one answered.  He called the cell numbers for each of the other family members—all six of them—but no one answered.  He finally used a computer at a hotel next to the gas station to use Facebook to contact a friend who then was able to make contact with the family in the van.  The family had driven 100 miles from Memphis before they got word that Dad was not in the back.  The father told reports that he’s sure that the whole was just an accident.Read More »Follow: Uncommon (Mark 7) June 16, 2013 – Sunday Morning Message
