STOP

Late one afternoon, we were heading home from a hunting excursion our family took every year.  I grew up in this small town, and as you drove down the street, there was a railroad track with a stop sign.  The tracks were rarely used, and as a kid I would just barrel through the stop sign, no need to look.  This afternoon, going down this same street, fast approaching were the tracks and the stop sign.  I had many of my children with me, chattering about the weekend, all of us looking forward to going home.  As I approached the tracks, I heard this loud voice say STOP.  It was so prominent, I stopped the car.  Immediately after stopping, a train whizzed by right in front of the car.  Our lives were saved that day,  God was watching over us that day, as every other day.
