Night after Thanksgiving and All is not Well

Stunned as soon as I sleep awakened by a loud bang real or imagined Zapped bright light woke me up to lots of prayers, knee deep - 5 a.m. vigil

Hmm. Sounds like the real-deal version of 'Black Friday' to me...

I will be praying Kim. I know we are awakened to pray sometimes, and sometimes we just know somethings wrong in the family before we are told. The biggest battles are often fought on our knees! May God bless you and keep you and your family.

Glad you was thinking fast and your answer to the fear was prayer. Thank you for sharing this one and for dropping by my page. I am now wondering if it was gunshots as I see so much on the news about those up in the metropolitan area of Atlanta. Sara K
