Another Tragic Truck Wreck

A Tennessee minister, his wife and their two children died when an 18-wheeler hit their van as they were driving to help families devastated by last week's tornados in that state. Michael Welch, wife Julie, 11-year old daughter Hannah and 14-year old son Jesse died when a Wal-Mart truck slammed into the back of their van and pushed it into the car in front of them. Criminal charges are pending against the Wal-Mart driver.

In an interview just a few hours prior to his death, Rev. Welch said of his and other ministers' efforts to comfort families affected by the tornadoes, "We cling to God, because He's all we've got."

Amen.
