House on fire. Middle of the night.
There’s four hurt kids– well, one’s 18– outside of the house, and they just conveyed to the guy who’s wearing the camera that their little sister, and the guy who saw the house was on fire and got them out, are still inside.
He busted through the second story window to get out with the kid. Punched a hole and then jumped before the fire could get them both.
Dude’s 25, just been driving home at midnight thirty, and saw flames coming out of the second story. So he slammed on his brakes and saved folks, the kids only had minor injuries.
From the news story:
Bostic was seriously injured in the frantic rescue, suffering from severe smoke inhalation, burns, and cuts on his arms and legs. Bostic was flown to a hospital in Indianapolis. Bostic has since been released after several days of treatment.
“The front of my hand, it’s cut up pretty bad,” Bostic said. “They rewrapped it before I left. But I got a cut right here, a possible severed tendon. The bottom of my hands are blistered like I grabbed something hot. I recall seeing flames through the window as I was punching it out.”
“Waking up every morning I have something to remind me of why I’m here, still alive. Why God keeps me here,” Bostic told News 18, according to Fox News. “He used me like his instrument that night.”
All humans matter. I thank God Mr. Bostic survived and was able to save others.
Imagine being that young man’s parent. My heart would burst with pride. Young Mr. Bostic was obviously raised right.
No coincidence that the heroic Mr. Bostic is a believer.

God Bless Mr Bostic. “He used me like His instrument that night.”
That’s the best part.
Lafayette’s about an hour-ish NW of me, and this is about an hour or so south. Indiana may not have much, but we do have our share of men.
