In Christ Alone!

BEWARE: Suspicious Subject Spotted Again!

Thank God we have such a large family, someone is always at home, and Praise the Lord he has and continues to protect us, all of us, everyday!

Almost home, only half a mile away, distracted with the text message I had just sent her, Mom saw him. All of the sudden, unexpectedly, when she looked back at the road she saw the suspicious man, in dark clothing, walking in the direction she was coming from. She thought he was carrying a large object, but was uncertain due to his sudden appearance. A little freaked out, she tells us about him when she got home. Immediately, we all start talking. (This is at 9:30 PM.) We soon realize that each of us, at different times, has seen this suspicious man, in dark clothes, hooded jacked, in the blackness of night, alone. Once walking south, away from our home; once walking north, directly in front of our property; another time through our front yard and in our apple trees.

We decide to call 911 (since we couldn't find the correct dispatch number to call.) They said they would send out a few people to look for our suspicious looking man, walking alone, in the dark, on the side of the road. We also called a few of our other friends/neighbors who are or have connections, (scanners, inside info thanks to volunteer work w/ the FD, ect.) We found out that someone living nearby has had thousands of dollars worth of stuff stolen from them in the last month or two also. I KNOW that this guy is the culprit!

The night Josh and I saw him, a few weeks ago, Mom and Dad were gone. Caleb, Anna, and Rebekah were at play practice. And we were on our way home from a joy ride of sorts with the rest of our younger siblings. We were shocked when we saw him as we went over the last hill, not 10 seconds from our home, boom there he was! We saw the back of him, walking on the right side of the road, hood covering his head and face. He didn't pause for a moment, didn't even glance as we drove by. We pulled into our driveway, hurried the kids inside, and locked the doors. We watched as he walked past the house on the road. Josh felt so uneasy about the suspicious character he made sure ALL the doors were locked (himself), the lights were on, and Dad's 9MM (I think that's what it was) was hidden, but "ready." I didn't even know about the gun part til tonight, but you know this man is bad when my big brother gets freaked out. Praise God he kept his cool on the outside... who knows what I'd have done if I saw him get worked up.

Eventually several cop cars drove past our house, looking for the creep. But I fear they were to late and he had made his escape yet again. Someday "we" will catch him, but until then... Keep your eyes and ears open, doors locked, guns "ready," and your prayers for protection updated!

This is Night-Watch 713 -- Over and Out!

Hullo, as Frodo would say

I saw your comment on my sister's Blog (God is my best friend) and you said you would like to be a writer, me too! I have already writen my book and am waiting for mom to read it. She would like to publish it herself though. You can read a bit about my book on my blog.

Thanks for checking out my blog, mom said you're a pretty neat person.

Sincerely,
Ms. Jocelyn
