Watch Where You Are Going | I was around 23 years old when I bought a John Deere MT tractor, It had a homemade 3 point hitch & the lift arms were attached to the rear axle with angle iron & pins.

The front end went up and when I determined something was just not right, I looked around to see the sky. The thing was pointed to the blue sky like a rocket ready to launch! It turned over and somehow I got clear of it. The Lord wasn't ready for me I guess.
