Driving in the dark
We didn't get to leave McDonald's until around 3 AM today. This is because the crew who were closing were working in s l o w motion, which just about drove me crazy. When they finally got finished, we took one of the girls home before we headed home ourselves.
After we dropped her off, we started home. Now, all this driving in the wee hours of the morning was on some very dark country roads. When we got within about 4 miles of my house, along one of the darkest stretches of road, Brandon started going, "AH! AH! AH! AH!"
I said, "What in the world is wro..." when suddenly, from out of nowhere, a huge black dog was right at my car, barking loudly!
I screamed, but kept driving. Yikes! It's like the darkness just balled up and produced this big barking dog right there at my driver's side window. Brandon said he had seen it running across someone's yard toward our car, but it was so fast he couldn't articulate it, hence the "AH! AH! AH! AH!"
I don't think my heart stopped pounding until I got home! I kept driving and stayed in the road just fine, but man!

It takes a lot to write a personal journal on line, but I know that writing about one's self and our feelings and Faith can be very theraputic. I like the way you add the Scripture to the content.

Thanks. It was very good therapy to write during Danny's illness and ultimate passing. I could say things on here that I didn't say to people face to face.
