A follow up from "My Reading"

See my post titled "My Reading" from a couple weeks ago....

Very interesting to think and look back at my reading from earlier this month. I now know what the message from Addie meant about us "being safe" in our home. Last Thursday we were home making dinner and we saw several cop cars heading north towards the Boy Scout camp. We didn't think much if it because often times people will get lost in the swamp. About 30 minutes later, my aunt Gail called to see if we were home. She proceeded to tell us that she heard on the scanner that there was a convict on the loose in the swamp. This guy had apparently stolen a car and tried to flee the police, ended up in the swamp and fled on foot. We later found out that he had several warrants out for his arrest, had a long list of things he was wanted for, was not going to give in to the cops, and could be dangerous. Needless to say the more we heard, the more nervous we got. We later talked to Shelly (my cop friend who was working on the case), and after talking to her sergeant, it was decided that we should probably leave the house for the night, since our house is usually the first one to be found when people come out of the swamp. We ended up staying at my moms that night. We came home the next morning to a safe, untouched home. Fortunately we were "safe" just as Addie said we would be. It wasn't until the next day that I remembered this message from a couple weeks ago. Until this event, that comment really didn't make a lot of sense to me. If I wasn't a believer before, I think I am now!!
