Truck
Drivers Prayer and the D.C. Snipers
A
truck driver who is just five runs away from retirement had
a prayer meeting with 50 other drivers, just 20 miles from the
spot where the D.C. sniper arrest took place. The drivers met
to pray that the sniper would be caught.
"We
knew the prayer was going to be answered. One time or another.
That's the way we believe."
Driver
Ron Lantz left Wilmington, Delaware and pulled into the rest
area at Myersville. He spotted the suspect's car immediately.
When he mentioned it to another driver on his radio the man
asked, "What are we going to do?" "I said I'm
going to call 9-1-1. So I called." The 15 minute wait was
a long one, Lantz admitted, and during the wait, the drivers
worked together to block the exit to the rest stop.
Does
Lantz want to be called a hero? The Presidential Prayer Team
would call him a man of character, because in his words, "I
just want people to think what I did is what I should have done.
I am no hero at this, no hero whatsoever. I don't even want
to be [thought] of as a hero."
This
is a true story according to "The
Washington Times".
