Dear Diary,

God does amazing things. My brother has gotten itto an axedent with his bike. Somehow the Lord told him to put a puzzle box that Mathew gave him under his shirt. Because my brother went over the handle bars of his bike. If the box was not there he would have it worse. His knee is bad bad. His chest would have gotten it the same way. God also told Grandma abd grandpa to go home they saw Al and put him and the bike in the truck. Amen. Al is ok now.
