“How does “ONE”… Get into this Predicament”

Nov 3rd “How does “ONE”… Get into this Predicament”

Let me tell you… where I think this is…

A good many years ago… when I was working for the “Telephone Company” – – – – Low man on the “TO-TUM POLE” – -had to select my VACATION TIME – – one whole week… in January or FEBRUARY – – so FEBRUARY it was.

I made a switch of hours and days off… before and after my vacation week – – to give me… two extra days to travel to Florida and two days back to Missouri.

Silly Road Signs

So… this above situation… is exactly … the same situation that I ran into on my return from Florida. Was in Illinois and ran into repair work signs all over the roads where I was driving. My aim was to cross over the “Jefferson Barracks Bridge” – – as “WE” did live in the South County area. This was a long drive for me – – driving since early morning hours from Tallahassee, Florida – – just my two young sons and myself – – and driving faster than… maybe … I should have – – since… I had to be at work… at 10:00 p.m. – – I was working the night shift – – and I sure did not want to be late for work – – nor have to call in – – that I was unable to be there – – I had perfect attendance – – and could not mess that up… NOW!

Some where in “ILLINOIS” – – the above situation – – with crazy signs everywhere… misdirecting “YOU” the motorist – – – into making circles. When I recognized that this was the “THIRD TIME” – – the very same roads – – just one ‘wild goose’ circle after another – – “I almost went BUNKERS” – – I was tired – – not thinking – – not seeing what I should have – – or needed too – – something had to be done – – and “RIGHT NOW” – -before there would be a real tragedy… taking place.

I must have PRAYED… like I had never done… before – – when I travel long distances – – I always PRAY – – but this time – – I was about to turn into a ‘crazy’ person??? – – So… I am guessing that the ALMIGHTY heard me and saw this ‘rotten situation’ – – and just felt like having mercy on me – – and did show me – – exactly that which I needed to see – – and ‘boy’ did things start to change – – even my sons notice that I was beginning to calm down – – and things were looking like we were on the “HOME” stretch of getting HOME – – and all of us in the arms of the ALMIGHTY – – safe and sound.
