I live in a safe small town, but in the old neighborhood I would walk after work (11 or so at night). I would walk down the middle of the road. The first few times the cops saw me they would stop and ask if I was OK. Always a yes ... just winding down after work. One cop finally asked me why I didn't walk on the sidewalk. Told him walking in the middle of the road gave me more time to see what was coming at me -- like stray or unfenced dogs which was my main concern. He smiled, shook his head and told me I was a weird one, but smart. :-) He would see me other nights, flash his spotlight on me, and say "hey how's my favorite streetwalker".
I guess so.... I just couldn't sleep so it seemed like a bright idea (and 2 of the 3 animals followed me out) as opposed to waking up my little sister by having my computer on in my room.
these six words leapt out from the sermon I heard in church this morning. Thanks Pastor Jodi. (I attend a Baptist church which has two lady ministers on the pastoral team.)We can live with peace and joy no matter...
